Testimony Relating to Communication 1141
Bill 357
October 28, 2008
From: The Kukuihaele Community Association
To: Public Works and Intergovernmental Committee Chairman Donald Ikeda and
members of the committee
Aloha Committee Members,
The Kukuihaele Community Association strongly supports legislation submitted by
Councilman Holschuh and supported by incoming council representative Dominic
Yagong to prevent access of all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles on the mile long County
road leading into Waipio Valley.
Driving conditions on the access road are potentially hazardous. This road is steep
and narrow with minimal places to pull over for disabled vehicles. The Kukuihalele
Community Association has received complaints from local residents expressing
concern that allowing access to AWD vehicles on the access road and in the Valley
creates a danger to other vehicles.
Three of the Association's officers participate on the committee to create a Waipio
ranger position. A primary long term objective of this committee is to limit the amount
of vehicular traffic into the valley by providing information to tourists and residents
from other parts of our island. Driving into the valley with vehicles not suitable for the
access road and valley floor is contrary to committee's efforts.
Please support the requested action of Dr, Holschuh, Dominic Yagong, and the
residents of Kukuihaele. Vote yes on Bill 357.
Mahalo for your consideration.
Kuulei Badua
President, Kukuihaele Community Association
