Re: Nani Kona Aina Subdivision
I live in the Kona Heights Subdivision and wish to express my concern about this
and any other subdivisions piggybacking off of the existing infrastructure.
Nani Kona Aina and any other new subdivisions should be required to put in
standard size roads and not little alleys like the previous new subdivision to the
north of Kona Heights. This was an example of extremely poor planning. (And
thank you very much for the park that never materialized!) Also, it would be nice
to have additional access to Queen Kaahumanu Highway. It is now nearly
impossible to make a right turn from Nani Kailua onto Queen "K" Highway until
the stoplight changes. Yesterday morning I counted 14 cars backed up waiting
to get out of the subdivision-which means waiting through a couple of lights.
I think the plan to mitigate traffic and provide "alternative access" by improving
Heinaloli Road to Nani Kailua Drive is a poor and short-sighted solution. It
doesn't make sense that an access road to the south is going to be used by a
subdivision to the north, when most destinations in Kailua-Kona are to the north.
I'm afraid it would just become a convenient short-cut for traffic to and from
Holualoa, and turn Nani Kailua Drive into another Royal Poinciana, with all of the
related problems. The developer(s) should be required to provide separate
access to Queen "K" Highway, not turn our subdivision into a freeway.
Thank you for considering my input.
Sincerely,
Peggy J. Andersen
