Douglas Payne moved that Public Works be invited to 72 attend the next meeting of the KCDP AC to discuss the removal of Alii Parkway and 73 Kealakehe Parkway from the STIP. Curtis Tyler III proposed to add to the motion that 74 Planning address this issue to their intent as part of this presentation today. The motion 75 was seconded by Curtis Tyler III. A vote was taken and the motion passed. 76 Barbara DeFranco noted that major changes have occurred to our street system over the 77 recent past and that a reanalysis should occur to determine how these changes have 78 affected the transportation plan. Doug Payne noted that expertise would require a more 79 comprehensive review with design, financing and cultural impacts to be taken into 80 consideration. 81 Curtis Tyler III noted that under the leadership of Council Chair, Dru Kanuha, meetings 82 are under consideration with lineal descendants to help in the resolution of the burials and 83 their impact to Alii Parkway. Considerations are also under way to consider a re-design 84 from a four (4) lane parkway to a two (2) lane roadway with a possible speed limit of 35 85 m.p.h. This would provide interconnections for the surrounding communities and an 86 additional north/south connection. This proposal is lying dormant at this time. In 87 addition, a possible redesign to move the roadway mauka would help eliminate multiple 88 burials which are currently holding the project from moving forward. Also, the northern 89 terminus of this roadway are impacted by grade, drainage and burials. Additional 90 redesigns will also need be considered here. 91 Page 2
