Your Committee on Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations, to which was referred Communication
No. 1394, regarding Bill 351, reports as follows:
Bill 351, transmitted by Director of Public Works Bruce McClure, via Communication No. 1394, dated
August 13, 2008 amends Chapter 24, article 10, division 6, section 24-288.1, schedule 36.1 (Active loading
and unloading zones), paragraph (c), South Hilo, of the Hawaii County Code 1983 (2005 edition, as
amended), is amended by adding the following, to be appropriately numbered and to read as follows:
~ Kamehameha Avenue, mauka side, be inning from a point one hundred eleven feet
northwest of Shipman Street and extending ffty-eieht feet in the northwesterly direction."
This amendment is based on a need for more parking in Downtown Hilo.
Department of Public Works Civil Engineer Aaron Takaba appeared before your committee and
commented that Traffic Division Chief Ron Thiel confirmed with the businesses in the area and the
Downtown Improvement Association on their request; and it was determined that adding these short-term
active loading zone stalls would be appropriate.
There was no testimony from the public on this proposed bill.
Your Committee on Public Works and Intergovernmental Relations is in accord with the purpose and intent
of Bill 351, and recommends its passage on first reading.
