Dear Members of dkee 1Hfawaii County Ctl.
I am writing to urge you to keep I,slttiwai S` closed fo vehiaaEar traffic. I have liv®d in I~tlo for over
20 years and often used Lill°eeokalani pack whi?~ caisiag ~r foue cd~e. It was a beautiful Lek at
that time, and a wonderful place to let the kids rttn abort. Iiowevero T was atlways conceataed for the
uaf#3c chat flowed along the ocean side. I have visited tiro park a austebsr of lea aiteee the recent
itetpaovernenes and the park is really te~sf'
ac. 'TDe faa:tt Waa t~ffic has bxe7o blocicod along La~iwai St.
makes it oven nits;:. rroany people who visit the park end walk la's pads are able to enjoy the
teanquility without the constant noise sad for the vehicles.
I am not able to aetend the pubfle heseim~ oa this issue, so please axepe rho following written
testimony. ffiiwai Street aboard casual[[ closed to traffic to increase the safety along the
ocean aide of the park sad to preserve dae atsnosplaaa that fettsilies are now able tv enjoy.
With regard to safety. T,ihiwai Stsmet has a large Mount of podestsian Irafl<c. I sett most concerned
for the young chitdrete who cross the arses[ tD look at the ocean, Some of those cotnplaireing about the
elosaare of the street say that they er~oy dsfvicag dosser the $oeaic taste with the view of Mausaa ICea
and arse bap. 'T'hese drivers will not be paying full at~aaon to rho road, sad the risk of an accident is
increased.
~?ith regard to the ttanquiHty, I recall ales[ gaits a bit of rho traffic aiotag Ia'hiwai Stress caerso fines
'~ttaiser$" driving around with loud exbaresta aced bonne boxes, y disretptlrtg the pescefoB
ataeotpheree of the park. For those who dem+e ~ roe the beautiful view of the bay aced Mauna Kea,
shay should snake it cues[ more orijoyabie by t trice walk thronglt the panic
Ia general. there are very few locations lee IlGlo where you can go oarjoy a gels[ afteanoon without the
constant flow of vehicles Lila°uokalaai peak is raow one of she few. 'Ilse park is really very small.
what is the :seed to have It surrounded by roads ?
In closing, it would be good ion the health of 8hoso deivecs v?ho want to see a ptntty view co sake little
walk across the park.
Sincerely yours,
i~ ~
