Dear Councilmember,
As a long-time resident of Hilo, I have been following with great interest the
county proposals to develope and improve our roadways, specifically the Mohouli St.
Extension and the Mohouli St. widening projects. I have paid attention to the media
reports, attended meetings and talked with the professionals involved with these
projects to inform myself about what in going on. I believe that these projects would be
to the benefit of our community and give these two projects my full support.
One has only to study a map of Hilo to see that the proposed roadway and
improvements to the existing Mohouli St. would relieve congestion in the downtown
Hilo area. Residents living in the mauka areas would be able to by-pass the
Waianuenue Ave. and Ponahawaii St. areas and take a more direct route towards the
shopping/business areas on the opposite side of Hilo. This would make it more
convenient in getting around Hilo and would be time-saving.
Similar to the Keaau by-pass road which area residents are happy with, these
Mohouli Street projects would help all the citizens of our community.
As for those of us who oppose these projects, perhaps they should ask
themselves What is the impact on the whole community? and not just what in going
on in my own backyard.
I would like to be counted as one of those who strongly favors these proposals.
Sincerely,
Lyn T. Yamano a
