Subject: Support for Res 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. 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,
G C-7
