TESTIMONY -Hawaii County Council
Re: Resolution 231-09 - Mamalahoa Highway Bypass
Honorable Council members:
PATH supports Resolution 231-09 authorizing the extension of the grant of non-
exclusive easement for limited public access over private roadways for temporary
Mdmdlahoa Bypass through Haokuli Phase I and Halekii Street with one very
important change.
PATH strongly urges the Council take the necessary steps to open the road to
bicycles, pedestrians and mass transit during this temporary phase.
The current prohibitions of these modes are in direct conflict of the Kona Community
Development Plan and further discourage and deter residents from using alternative
transportation options. It's important to open the roadway to all modes of
transportation.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
