Subject: support for the Waimea nature trail
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. It presents a tremendous
opportunity for safe outdoor recreation -and for alternative modes of transportation in South Kohala, which
will reduce automobile traffic and pollution along the highway. The connections people develop through
using the trail will result in new stewards of the land and help in preserving the riparian corridor. 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. What a wonderful investment
in the health and well-being of our community and its residents.
Mahalo,
Lyda Liu
