Subject: Morrison, 5/30/08 = Support Bill 285
W
Aloha,
I have lived on the big island for 8 years and have lived in Kona, Hilo, Pahoa, and Waimea. I have always biked*e streets and back
roads around the islands and have consistently found dangerous situations in which biking and walking is unwelcome and unsafe. I
currently live in Waimea with my brother and his girlfriend (who also bike) and we often do not participate in this healthy and
enjoyable activity due to the unsafe roads in town and on back roads. Certain (and often main) roads in Waimea town have side
walks, but no shoulder lane for bikers / skateboards.
Safe roads for walking / biking encourages people to leave their cars at home and walk to work (less pollution) and get in shape and
stay :active (a healthier Hawaii). If you have a vote or say in this bill, please support bill 285 for those of us that wish to lead healthy
and safe lives.
Thank you very much,
M~.; r_ 2
