uneven and not - handicap - friendly wooden sidewalks of downtown, can't compare to the newer shopping centers. Abandoned stores and restarants Loitering Drug dealers Violence No bike paths Traffic Idiotic traffic design on North side of town. Who the heck did the design for 130 to the Malama Market shopping area? I assume some brother -in -law or other. And the Kahakai turn ? ?!? Try to put in roundabouts. I realize that they seem like foreign strange things, but for goodness sakes, they actually work! http: / /www.gtcmpo.org/ Resources / Topics /Roundabouts /Roundabout.jpg Lets put a stop to the McDonnalds and Berger King tyoe of franchises poisoning our community. I realize what's already in place will prob stay but no more! I hate being approached for drugs, lets cleanup the town. I avoid bringing my guests into town, it's an embarrassment to me. Let get a real museum! It's not pedestrian friendly. I love to walk, live in Leilani, and can't walk to Pahoa because it's too unsafe. We need sidewalks /pathways to change this. The #130 entrance to Pahoa Marketplace needs to be made safer. I have to go to Hilo every month for grocery and clothing shopping, dentists and doctor appointments. Would like to see those stores /services offered in Pahoa area. Many buildings are unsightly and falling down. The eating opportunities don't appeal to me although I sometimes I eat at Luquins. I seldom shop in Pahoa Town except at the clothing and book stores. It would be nice to have a less- expensive alternative to Malama for groceries. I wish there was an active senior center in town. Lack of sidewalks, road access. confusing zoning less development is key. Occasionaly, the rather sketchy people you may see hanging out throughout the area. This leads to a rather negative view. I would love for the police to have walking patrols of the old town area. The influx of "seedy characters" hanging out on the sidewalks does not improve our image and does not increase one's desire to window shop or dine there. ACceHistoricala€ ? I see no historical preservation theme occurringa €; this is what I see. I see them trying to take an old Black and White CRT T.V. and have it function as a Color High Definition LCD wide screen. The whole thing is an unrealistic disjointed pipe dream. Restore the old black and white CRT T.V. and put it on a pedestal with like type buildings and business then put a rope around it (no cars)... Put the new HD TV elsewhere in the house and call it "New Pahoa ". The whole plan is flawed; Pahoa does not have the appropriate infrastructure flow to grow and current continued growth with vehicular traffic incorporated is not possible. Go back to the drawing board. Needs a facelift! It'd be cheap. Get RID of those pot copters!!! They are an extreme annoyance and intrusion into our communities. PLAY "POT COWBOYS" SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! Whats not working for me is the rate of franchise and big business development here. It is going boot out all the local shops, destroy Pahoa's local economy, and hurt what makes Pahoa good. If we are to preserve Pahoa's historical integrity and promote sustainability we need to regulate how much big business Pahoa can afford before looking like mainland America. Most of these big businesses will eventually gain a stranglehold on the town while not distributing as much local products and local businesses do, hurting the agriculture and creativity that surrounds Pahoa that many Pahoa -ans rely on to flourish. Restore historical Pahoa. old style wooden Sidewalks. Widen mainstreet only. Keep out new office
