Subject: FY 2007-2008 Captial Budget
Councilmember Pete Hoffmann, Chair
Councilmember K. Angel Pilago, Vice Chair
Hawaii County Council
I have reviewed the Hawaii County Capital Budget for FY 2007-
2008 and note that none of the projects recommended by Parsons
Brinckerhoff in the Waimea Traffic Circulation Study are
included. Are they going to appear as county projects on some
other list, like the Statewide Transportation Improvement
Program (STIP)?
I understand that the following projects are needed within the
next two to five years in order to prevent gridlock in Waimea
during commuting times:
Widening of Mamalahoa Hwy from in front of the hospital to
one half mile east of Kamamalu St
Widening of Mamalahoa Hwy in front of Waimea School
All of the Parker Ranch Connector Road plus extensions of
existing town center connector roads
Road A between Kaomoloa Rd and Lindsey Rd extension
Lalamilo connector road (Mamalahoa Hwy-Kawaihae Rd
connector project)
Waimea traffic signal optimization
How are the people from Puna, Hilo and Hamakua going to get to
work on the west side if we are at gridlock?
Thank you for this opportunity to testify. Comm. No. w~~~
