This initiative is crucial for addressing the rapidly growing population in Puna, and the need for new roadway infrastructure to keep up with this growth.The area is heavily congested at most hours of the day, requiring twice as much time, energy, and resources to commute to/from Hilo. In the event of an emergency evacuation, Puna residents would be gridlocked trying to evacuate, as there is only one way in and one way out for 50,000+ people. I urge the Council to pass Bill 107 without amendments. ca Mahalo nui loa for your time and consideration. 2(.77) Angie Folcik a _ 15-168 N Puni Kahakai Loop Pahoa, HI 96778 -1-c": 808-333-4286 ' : t a Angie Folcik 808-333-4286 angie@mottaimoirai.com MOTTAI MOIRAI Comm.
