Hilo, Hawaii 96720
Your Committee on Public Works and Parks, to which was referred Communication No. 849,
and attached Bill No. 249, reports as follows:
The purpose of Bill No. 249 is to amend Chapter 24, Article 10, Division 2, Section 24-272, of the
Hawaii County Code 1983 (1995 Edition), relating to Vehicles and Traffic.
Communication No. 849 is lrom Donna Fay K. Kiyosaki, Chief Engineer of the Department of
Public Works, informing that Public Works will be converting the existing mauka bound left turn
phase on Waianuenue Avenue to a "lagging green." Ms. Kiyosaki states that in order for this traffic
signal phasing modification to be effective, it will be necessary to prohibit makai-bound right turns
onto Komohana Street from Waianuenue Avenue when the traffic signal indicates red. This work
is being done to reduce the turning movement conflicts and improve traffic safety at this intersection.
Your Committee is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 249; and recommends that it
pass first reading.
