HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS T °
HAWAII COUNTY COUNCIL
HAWAII COUNTY BUILDING
HILO, HI 96720
SUBJECT: BILL 236, DRAFT 3, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 96-8, RELATING TO
THE USE OF HALEKII STREET EXTENSION UPON DEDICATION TO THE
COUNTY
Reference is made to the following:
1. The County Council's Joint Committee meeting held on March 11, 2008 to discuss
proposed Bills 235, 236 and 251 relating to the test use of the Halekii Street Extension
upon its dedication to the County of Hawaii to allow Southbound motorists to use the
Mamalahoa Bypass and Halekii Street extension from 3:30 to 6:30 PM on weekdays,
except holidays.
2. The March 18, 2008 letter from Councilmember Brenda Ford to Council Chairman Pete
Hoffmann, submitting Bill 236, Draft 2.
As a follow up to the Joint Council Committee meeting and Councilmember Ford's Draft 2
referenced above, we are submitting the attached Administration Bill 236, Draft 3 for your
consideration. We have attached two versions of this for the convenience of the Council: one is
ramseyered from Ord. 96-078, and would be the actual bill, and the other is ramseyered from
Bill 236, draft 2, to show the changes from that draft.
After discussing the results of the Council's Joint Committee meeting, Reference 1 above, and in
consideration of our original intent of the proposed traffic test to help reduce the negative
impacts of the travel delays experienced during the "Kainaliu Krawl", the following are the
major changes to traffic mitigation measures included in the Bill to ensure a timely
implementation of the proposed traffic test.

1. The Pedestrian Signal proposed on Halekii Street at or near the Muli Street Intersection
would be changed to a Pedestrian Warning Light. In consideration of the soon to be
completed 70 stall parking lot at the Clarence Lum Wong Park, the warning light and
crosswalk would be initially installed and once pedestrian traffic warrants have been
established, then a full pedestrian signal would be programmed, funded and installed at a
later date.
2. The Alii Drive/Kaleiopapa Road Intersection would be initially converted to a Three-
Way Stop and a Special Duty Police Officer would be hired during the test of the 3:30 to
6:30 PM one-way traffic test use of the Halekii Street Extension. This will allow the test
to proceed without sacrificing safety for any increases in traffic during the test time
period. At all other times when the Halekii Street Extension is closed, traffic at this
intersection would return to normal. Upgrading this intersection for a complete traffic
signal will proceed during the traffic test period and the signal would be activated as soon
as construction is completed alleviating the need for the Police officer.
3. The resolution of bike, pedestrian and right-of-way encroachments within three years has
been changed to establishing appropriate project scopes and program funding for these
projects to account for proper project planning, environmental reviews and land
acquisition in some cases to ultimately resolve some of the encroachment concerns.
4. The sunset provision has been extended from 12 to 18 months to provide additional time
to implement mitigation measures in the event of unforeseen complications in delivery
these projects before the traffic test is started.
The other changes made in Draft 3 are minor editorial and numbering changes that consistent
with Councilmember Ford's Draft 2 version of the bill, Reference 2 above. We will be happy to
present the attached Draft 3 at the April 9, 2008 Council meeting.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either our Planning Director, Mr. Chris
Yuen, or our ublic Works Director, Mr. Bruce McClure.
