Department of Parks & Recreation

Deaz Pat,
The Department of Parks and Recreation has done an exceptional job with Lili'uokalani
Park in Hilo. The feedback from the community has been positive, however, the
Lili'uokalani Park perimeter roadway has been a subject of concern.
As Chairman of the Environmental and Parks Committee, I have received numerous calls
and letters from the public requesting that the perimeter roadway remain closed to
vehiculaz traffic. It seems that the decision by yow departrnent to keep the roadway
closed is strongly supported by the public and the ma~onty (if not all) of the
Councilmembers
I have consulted with Mr. Richard Nislumwa of the Traffic Division, and he as no traffic
concerns regarding suppomng the continued closwe of tlvs roadway. If you have no
ob~ecGons, I would like to pwsue initiating a council resolution through Councihnember
Aazon Chung supporting the permanent closwe of the Lili'uokalani Park perimeter
roadway. This way the community concern regarding this wonderful public pazk facility
can be put at ease.
Thank you very much for yow consideration, and I look forwazd to yow wntten
response.
armest Aloha, +
