paved, lighted parking lot with paved paths to town center and paved sidewalks /wheel paths connecting all areas. Need parking facilities, pedestrian and bikeway access (sidewalk, bike paths), ADA access requirements met. New Post Office in differen location. Family rec center (YMCA type). Rezone for mixed use within Pahoa boundaries. Create more park space for shoppers and visitors to rest in. there needs to be a foot path from the village to malama that is clearly marked and not menaced by the lakes that form in the road when it rains. Safety concerns - roads (sometimes scary as people forget to stop or speed) - more lights at night. traffic light at the intersection of Malama /Woodland center because too many accidents happen there. It is hard to see sometimes and gets confusing. Need more places for pedestrians to walk safely. The scruffy characters hanging around tend to discourage us from spending more time in Pahoa Town.

The traffic flow is dangerous and obstructive to pedestrians and other vehicles. Noisey traffic, individuals loitering, the dangerous intersection to Malama Market - it needs stop signs! Solutions for getting the riff raff from hanging out infront of some of the stores. Its uncomfortable and potentially dangerous Pahoa town needs bike dedicated bike lanes to promote the use of bicycle transportation by more people. As mentioned, chain fast food franchises like Burger King and KFC. These businesses pay local employees poorly, offer no benefits, create waste in town, provide poor quality food, and are now suffering financially and word around town is they're not going to succeed. The community should have been consulted about this, or at least surveyed in this manner. It's a shame something more creative could not have been thought of. Also, the general first impression of Pahoa is the run -down and dirty feel in downtown. The new Longs and Malama Market areas are very nice - some renovations in the older parts of town would be appreciated. The LuQuins parking lot, along with the
