Communication No. 2015 -13 <br />also stressed by Hannah Hedrick that we should be looking at connections that are <br />easy to implement. Also, should properties need to be purchased, do it while they <br />are still affordable. <br />Lastly, mass transit and linear parks need to be incorporated at the same time as <br />part of the infrastructure to meet additional community needs associated with <br />connectivity and emergency response. <br />After much discussion, the subcommittee unanimously approved their support for <br />the formation of an Ad hoc committee and sending information forward to <br />Councilmen Ilagan and Paleka that they are in favor of doing so. <br />• Open Discussion on Topics of Concern to CERS members and others in <br />attendance <br />No new items were discussed, but a sense of urgency was put forth as community <br />members throughout the district continue to prepare for the unknown and possibly <br />inevitable. Connectivity must move forward, especially between subdivisions, to <br />provide alternate routes and alleviate greater loads on already over -used Highway <br />11, today the road for 3.5 million visitors per year to Hawaii Volcanoes National <br />Park, the second most visited site in the State of Hawaii. Add everyday local <br />traffic to this number and anticipate 2000 new users should Pahoa residents have <br />to use the Chain of Craters Road to "get to the other side ", the implementation <br />must begin soon. The time for action is now. <br />Next Meeting: March 24, 2015, 5:00 p.m., Location: Keaau Community Center <br />Adjournment: 6:20 p.m. <br />
