Subject: Support for resolution 546-24
Dear Council members,
I am a Waimea resident writing in support Resolution 546-24 and the purchase of easements generally
following the Waikoloa Stream from Church Row in Waimea to the South Kohala Coast. Creating this 14-
mile trail involves a wonderful vision for a healthy and active South Kohala region. I will not currently ride
or walk up Kawaihae Road since it is so dangerous.An off road path will present a tremendous
opportunity for safe riding and walking as well as outdoor recreation. Providing for alternative modes of
transportation in South Kohala will reduce automobile traffic and pollution along the highway. It will also
make it safe and fun for cyclists staying at the resorts to ride up to Waimea which will support the
businesses in our town.And,the 14-mile trail will provide public access to an area that may otherwise be
closed off by various development projects, if easements are not acquired soon.
I strongly encourage you to approve PONC funds for this worthwhile purpose.
