ALIT DRIVE TEMPORARY FREIGHT LOADING ZONES
FEEDBACK:
l-ll-OS:
Mayor's Office in Kona:
Pete Hendricks stated that there has been nothing but positive feedback at his office. I requested a letter
of support from him (I did not receive letter at the time of submittal).
2-1-OS
Kailua Village Merchant's Association:
Marie Aguilar stated that there has been nothing negative about the loading zones, and will draft and
send a letter of support (attached) for our records.
Anheuser Busch:
Left a message for Bob Elliott to call me back.
Better Brands:
Steve wanted the time limit changed on the freight loading zone adjacent to Waterfront Row.
Ron stated that the freight loading zone across from Uncle Billy's has been really helpful, and that
illegal parkcrs have not been a problem. He also would like to see the time limit changed on the loading
zone fronting Waterfront Row.
Coca Cola:
Left a message to have manager to call me back.
Paradise Beverages:
Left a message for Robby.
Pepsi:
Moana said that the new loading zones do not help her because the areas she needs to deliver to are to
the north and south of the new zones. She delivers to the ABC store across from the pier (near Kona
Galley). She confirmed that there is an existing loading zone in this area, but when full, she has to park
across the street. She would also like to see more enforcement of the Waterfront Row loading zone.
Southern Wine and Spirits:
James Torres stated that the loading zones, particularly the one across from Uncle Billy's, have been
helping. He delivers to the Kona Galley Restaurant and finds that the existing zone is not always
available. He suggested putting one in across the street at the pier.
Suisan:
Saffrey Tajon out of the Hilo office stated that the additional loading zones have been very helpful. He
is especially pleased with the loading zones across from the seawall. He will send a letter of support
(the letter was not received at the time of submittal).

Y. Hata:
Petrick stated that he has not had any complaints and that the loading zones near the seawall have been
helpful for their deliveries.
2-2-OS
Coca-Cola:
Jason Young returned my call and stated that the loading zones have been very helpful. The only
negative was the fact that additional enforcement may be needed to keep people from parking in the
loading zone across from Uncle Billy's. His deliveries usually take place from 6:30 am - 8:00 am.
They have 38' long delivery trucks, which he says aze the lazgest trucks that make deliveries in the area.
He will send in a letter of support for our records.
