REQUEST: By ordinance, appropriate $50,000.00 in funds for Construction of Waianuenue Avenue Sidewalk. B. BA K ROUND ND JU TIFIC T N USE AD ITIONAL SHE TS A NE D This money will be used to construct a sidewalk along Waianuenue Avenue across from the Hilo Medical Center. Currently, the employees of the medical center walk along the side of the road to get from the parking lot to the crosswalk that crosses Waianuenue near the hospital. Because of an embankment on the side of the road, the pedestrians are forced to walk close to the traffic lanes. Construction of the sidewalk addresses public concern. Because Waianuenue Avenue is a well-trafficked road with somewhat narrow lanes and shoulders, and because there is a large number of people who walk along side of the road, construction of a sidewalk seems to be a prudent expenditure. The Hilo Medical Center initiated this request for a sidewalk. The length of sidewalk needed is about 325 feet.
