2018-04-02 South Kohala Community Development Plan Action Committee Agenda - REVISED

Home

1. Waikoloa Road/Paniolo Avenue intersection traffic safety improvements: The Action Committee will hear and address concerns raised by Waikoloa Village residents regarding the status of traffic safety improvements (signalization, a roundabout, all-way stops, or other measures) to the existing intersection of Waikoloa Road and Paniolo Avenue. Long-standing resident concerns about the need for these intersection safety improvements have recently been exacerbated by the closure of Waika Bridge (upper portion of Kawaihae Road) to heavy trucks, which are now forced to use Waikoloa Road as the only transit route between Kawaihae Harbor and Waimea/Hamakua. 2. Communication No. 2018-01 Discussion of 2018 AC Meeting Dates and Goal Setting: CDP staff will introduce the 2018 Action Committee meeting schedule. Discussion between Planning staff and the Action Committee to work on setting 2018-19 goals for the committee.
