<br />other developers in Orchid, you know? Absorb some of the cost. But still, it’s the State’s <br />kuleana. Highway 130, it’s already a dangerous intersection. We’re going through this in <br />Pāhoa, with you know, the Woodland Center we went through it, and they had the funds to step <br />up and help fund intersection improvements there, but you know, the DOT is still putting in the <br />roundabout and to remedy it there. <br /> <br />GONZALES: Okay, we’ll get all that going in discussion, but any other questions for Mr. <br />Arthurs from anyone? <br /> <br />ONO: Question. <br /> <br />GONZALES: Commissioner Ono. <br /> <br />ONO: Is this on? <br /> <br />ARAI: Yes. <br /> <br />ONO: Yes, just for clarification, I tend to disagree slightly. I would assume that this being a <br />commercial development, there would be an increase in traffic because it’s a commercial <br />development so the intent of that intersection having the intersecting lights would be because of <br />the added traffic, not, not to alleviate the present traffic problem. But my question really is <br />directed to the previous speaker. Was that an exaggeration on the million dollar traffic light <br />system? I’m not sure, but I heard a million dollars so I just wanted to have that clarified. <br /> <br />ARTHURS: Ever since I can remember about 15 years back when it was first broached with the <br />State, they look at every traffic light as one million dollars. Any bridge, one million dollars. <br />Any mile of pavement, one million dollars on their contracts, and I think Mr. Darrow would be <br />more exact on the costing of it. <br /> <br />ONO: Do you have an answer? <br /> <br />DARROW: All, well I mean, basically all I can say is that, that’s a figure that usually is used <br />when they talk about traffic lights. The--at least a million dollars I would say that, that would be <br />a conservative figure at this time. But, again, that’s only guesstimating. <br /> <br />ONO: Thank you. <br /> <br />GONZALES: All right. Any other questions for Mr. Arthurs? You gentlemen can be seated. <br />Thank you very much. <br /> <br />DEXTER: Thank you. <br /> <br />GONZALES: Unless there’s any objections, I’m gonna close the public part of the hearing. No <br />objections? Okay, I believe we need a motion and then we can go into discussion. Good luck. <br /> <br />11 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br /> <br />
