-2 F 2 V ~ I am Janet Lang, and I have lived on Waianuenue Ave. in Piihonua since 1934. This area is, and always has been a residential neighborhood, and Waianuenue Ave. is a narrow, tree shrouded street that is bounded by ditches that carry the rainwater away from our homes and the street. Through the years, vehicle traffic has increased in speed, size and number, and we are now faced with a constant stream of cars, trucks, vans, and tankers who tend to travel above the 35 mile per hour speed limit. Accidents, usually involving speed above the 35 mph limit, happen regularly. When a school bus and tanker meet in the section with steep shoulders, it is touch and go not to slip over into the ditch. (We used to have cane trucks, but they did not speed. They also picked up their opala on a regular basis.) 1 am not an engineer, so I will not speculate on what should be done. I do know that I would prefer that we try a preventive approach'( (erect a barrier to speeding, enforce the current speed limit with no leeway, and post signs such as"RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, DRIVE CAREFULLY*) THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION. We are in the process of forming a neighborhood association that will study these concerns and make recomendations when appropriate. If such measures as sidewalks, road widening, and other expensive measures are considered, we would , as homeowners, like to be involved in the decisions made affecting our property. A recent survey of the neighborhood indicated that all residents are concerned about the speeding traffic on Waianuenue, and I believe that at this point we are not informed enough to recommend any drastic or costly measures. THANKYOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION AND INVESTIGATION OF THIS MATTER. Janet Lang RECEIVED Phone: 9352304 nme By Dare %b..1...E... County Council SC4 I No.
