I respectfully submit these comments regarding the proposed thoroughfare through Makalei Estates. First, the
grade of the road is steep, even for a neighborhood street. Heavy amounts or traffic would precipitate very
unsafe driving conditions to the point of predictable accidents and injury. The junction at Mamalahoa would back
up where more than a few cars would cause the last ones in line to be in a precariously position. Stopped, in
traffic, with a difficult task of keeping the vehicle from rolling backward in the event of stall or use of a "stick shift".
The road is so steep that a loss of power in a vehicle going down hill down would cause a dangerous situation
considering the pitch of the road and the curves in it. Finally, and in summation, the road was not engineered to
be a busy connector. To make it one now is not in the best interest of the neighborhood, Kona, or Hawaii. Thank
you. Roger K. Duerr, #33 Makalei Estates.
