MEMORANDUM
DATI?: Apri 11.2003
TO: Council Member Elarionoff
FROM: Bruce C. McClure, P. E., Director
SUBJECT: ROADS IN LIMBO
We are pleased to transmit copies of the Department's maps that show "Roads in Limbo."
Attached is a set of various tax map key maps where the Department has marked in red
those roads that we call "Roads in Limbo."
Since our six road maintenance districts (specifically, Puna, South Hilo, North
Hilo/Hamakua, North & South Kohala, North & South Kona, and Ka'u) don't match the
nine council districts we have included those plats that are in your district, but we didn't
show the limits of your council district on any of the maps.
In our future discussion on Roads in Limbo, there will be much to talk about. Allow me to
share the following at this time:
• The roads shown in red on the attached maps have not been field checked. Some of the
roads may never have been built. This means that the mileage given is subject to
change.
• Those roads that arc found to exist on the ground will have to be surveyed. The survey
will locate both the road right-of-way as well as the limits of the existing road. Once
the survey is done, it can be determined where the road is not within the legally
described road right-of-way and therefore, is encroaching on property that is probably
privately owned. We believe. that many of the roads will be outside of their legally
described right-of-way.
• Those roads that are found to exist on the ground will have to be inspected to determine
their condition and then categorized.

• Any existing culverts or bridges will have to be inspected and their load carrying
capacity determined.

he established.
