Subject: bill 285 support for Waimea Trails and Greenways ` 0l IN I
Gentlepersons of the Council:
Many in our Waimea Community and around the island have spent countless hours, even years advocating and
meeting on the Waimea Trails and Greenways project. This project will provide a safe and alternative means of
traveling to school, work or shopping and leads by example in reducing the dependency and congestion on our
roadways, let alone our "healthy lifestyles".
To finally see the many hours and funds expended for this necessary public benefit with secured matching funds
in place, fail due to political disagreements in this election year sets back the very essence of what capital
improvements are meant to be used for. It is not whether we should move forward with this bond issue, it is
whether these capital improvements fit the County's plan, having been in the works for many years. This bond
issue could not be better timed both for seeing the projects through completion but for a lower bond costs due to
the current economy pricing.
Please do the right thing for the people of this County by voting "affirmative" and show leadership in
providing such a wonderful asset as alternative connectivity within our villages.
I know the people of Waimea will certainly be impressed as they were with your support for the waste to energy
proposal!
Aloha,
J.William Sanborn
