RESOLUTION
01-04
Regarding Transportation in West Hawaii
WHEREAS West Hawaii has a critical Transportation Problem, involving:
• The area's primary roads being only two lanes wide for virtually their entire
length,
• Grid-lock occurring at least twice-daily on its primary roads,
• Virtually no public transportation service being available to West Hawaii,
• West Hawaii' gasoline prices being the highest on the Big Island, which makes
them among the highest in the entire nation,
• A very rapid increase in population of residents and visitors,
• Such road congestions as to increase safety hazards and retard access and
promptness of emergency vehicles, especially on West Hawaii's largely two lane,
main arterial road (highway 11 & 19) leading to the area's only acute hospital and
other emergency services; and
WHEREAS even the most optimistic analysts estimate that it will be several years before
the area can expect any significant improvements and even partial resolution of just its
PRESENT transportation problems; and
WHEREAS any further real estate development will only severely increase, if not
multiply these problems?
THEREFOR, BE IT RESOLVED that the Hui Laulima (a consortium of over 50 of West
Hawaii public and private agencies involved with the youth and family services) implores
the County of Hawaii and State of Hawaii to assure that these severe problems are
resolved as quickly as possible and that approval of any further real estate development in
West Hawaii be contingent upon full and legal commitment by all parties concerned that
the creation of additional traffic from such development will be offset by transportation
improvements (be it widening of the primary roads involved, availability of adequate
public transportation, or otherwise) IN ADVANCE OF OCCUPANY OF ANY SUCH
DEVELOPMENT.
APPROVED AT THE REGUALR SEPTEMBER 3, 2004 MONTHLY MEETING OF
THE HUI LAULIMA IN KAILUA-KONA, HAWAII.
