Dear Chairman Elarionoff =
This is in response to your March 27, 2003, letter to me inquiring about the status of the house
numbering bill we are currently working on, as well as the policy recommendation on roads in limbo.
We have had numerous meetings on the house numbering issue, and at present a fifth draft of a bill is
being prepared by Corporation Counsel with the assistance of the Planning and Public Works
departments. I realize that it has taken longer than the projected six months to complete this bill, but
the topic proved to be more complex than anticipated, and we want to try to take into account all the
various concerns that came up as we discussed the issue.
I also realize that we are way overdue in presenting you with a comprehensive policy recommendation
on roads in limbo. Bruce McClure, who became Director of Public Works in January, is hard at work
on this issue. He recently submitted to each council member a preliminary list of the roads in limbo in
their district. This inventory is the first step that needed to be taken before a policy recommendation
can be made. We will be presenting you soon with an interim policy recommendation for certain
cases where communities want to participate in improvements to roads in limbo. However, I cannot
promise you at this point when we will have a comprehensive recommendation, although I hope it will
be within six months.
Please accept my apologies for the delay in bringing these two issues forward to you. We are trying to
be thorough, and this does take time. Thank you for your patience.
Aloha,
Comm. Na 203
