Connectivity Locations suggested by community members using criteria provided <br /> by both the Puna Community Development Plan and the County of Hawaii. <br /> There is now even greater concern should a need for emergency evacuation occur <br /> with increased travel on Highway 11. Opening strategic CL's within and between <br /> subdivisions, from Volcano to Keaau, would be a cost effective way to decrease <br /> the load on Highway 1 I and provide alternate emergency evacuation routes in this <br /> geologically active district of Hawaii Island. <br /> • Discussion of Priorities with new lava flow challenges: <br /> Due to the need for often immediate response in the Puna District due to recent <br /> lava flow activity, the Subcommittee would like to offer a proactive approach to <br /> alleviating highway congestion on Highway 11 and thereby making many <br /> subdivisions and surrounding areas safer should the need for emergency <br /> evacuation occur.
