Your Committee on Public Works and Parks, to which was referred Communication No. 393
and attached Bill No. 114, reports as follows:
The purpose of Bill No. 114 is to establish speed limits of 20 miles per hour along
Haa Street, Haa Place, and Kaiewe Place within the Keaau Mutual Self-Help Subdivision.
Bill No. 1 14 would amend chapter 24, article 10, division 1, section 24-254, schedule 2
(20 mile per hour limit), subsection (g) Puna, by adding the following items to be appropriately
numbered:
Haa Street.
~ H P
f,~ Kaiewe Place.'
Communication No. 393 is a letter from Chief Engineer Donna Fay K Kiyosaki, dated
July 8, 1997, which transmits Bill No. 114 to the Council for its consideration. The
Communication notes that the Department of Public Works received a request from a resident of
the Keaau Mutual Self-Help Subdivision to reduce the speed limit from 25 mph to 20 mph
within the subdivision. It further states that after conducting a speed study, the Department
found speeds of 20 mph to be appropriate speed limits for these roads.
Your Committee amended Bill No. 1 14 by substituting Bill No. 1 14, Drafr 2. Draft 2 amended
the spelling of Haa Street and Haa Place to conform with the spelling adopted by the Council in
Resolution No. 109-97. (See Communication No. 393.01.) No testimony in opposition to this
bill was offered.
Your Committee is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 114, Draft 2 and
recommends that it pass first reading.
