Enclosed please find Bill 251, Draft 2 for the Council's approval.
Co
The amendments to Draft 1 are as follows:
Section 1. Traffic on Haleki`i Street shall move in an eastbound direction rather
than a southbound direction. Haleki`i Street runs east/west rather than north/south, and
redefines the lower portion of Haleki`i Street as Haleki`i Street Extension.
Section 3. Rename as Haleki`i Street Extension.
Section 5(B). Restricts truck traffic in the residential section of Haleki`i Street
and the secondary/connecting residential streets of Mamao, Muli and Nape. Better
identifies the Haleki`i Street/Mamalahoa Highway intersection. Creates an additional
mid-block crosswalk west of Muli Street.
Sincerely,
LD TAKASE
