We still need an affordable place to shop for food. Malama market is over priced and crowded. Traffic in and out is heavy and poorly controlled. Traffic safety is very bad particularly at entrances and exits to Highway 130. We have to wait too long to get overdue improvements. Old town needs sidewalks. New town intersection needs needs a signal for traffic. There should not even be a entrance there it should be south of that spot. No more fast food chain restaurants. They are not only bad for the health of the people but the character of the town. Any development should fit into the character of the town not like the Longs and fast food restaurants. That development is a very ugly introduction to the town. The intersections by Kahakai and 130 are the most insane I have ever seen and are very dangerous. Something needs to be done about it. I know we have the urgent care center, but it may be good to have a small 24/7 hospital for critical needs for the Puna area, or make the urgent care center into more of something like that. It is odd that there is no vet in Pahoa, lots of farm animals and pets around. Lack of businesses, too much government Corporate development needs to stop! public transportation is needed more. I think the worst thing is the walking /driving conditions through town. I cringe when I see pedestrians having to walk in the street on narrow difficult areas. We can to better to get some sidewalks and bike paths, and get the on- street parking moved off to widen the driving areas and protect pedestrians from cars. more police needed to eliminate public drunkiness and fighting. especially in the area around boogie woogie pizza INFRASTRUCTURE, ie sidewalks, parking, parking lots, unused spaces, often neglected and are so needed. Absent owners? How can absent owners be enlisted to improve their holdings? When people work together on a project, it builds community. Need volunteers? How can volunteers be recruited? nothing Safer way to walk the town - sidewalks would be nice. Police walking the town may help reduce petty crime. Vehicle access to the Post Office could use a little improving. Traffic pattern could not have been designed worse. The Malama Mkt area is horrendous. If a development is further allowed, forget turning left onto Highway 130 keaau bound. Terrible parking. Crime, zoning, traffic, sidewalks, transportation. There should be signal in front of HAAS and a way for students to get over the highway. The intersection at Kahakai. Needs a light. Please, no more fast food. We need to support local, tourist friendly, exoctic fruit stands, healthy sammies, with other local wares and creations. Not more greasy, fast food. We need to sponsor more community walks. Community gardening. Community improvement projects. Community pot luck, small, music festivals that block the road going thru town. The Post Office needs a redesign. The access is worse than ever. need more parking, opportunies for local businesses Sidewalks and the creation of a pedestrian friendly town. The development of non - corporate, economic opportunities for people that live in Pahoa town or the surrounding suburbs.
