RESOLUTION NO. 310 10
STATE OF HAWAII
A RESOLUTION TO FURTHER NOTIFY THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION ABOUT THE KOHANAIKI BEACH PARK INTERSECTION
SAFETY HAZARDS.
WHEREAS, the Hawaii County Council adopted Resolution No. 241 -09 on October 21,
2009; and
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 241 -09 included the following requests to and
recommendations for the Hawaii State Department of Transportation:
1. That all subsequent State Department of Transportation planning interface with
Hawaii County planning before implementation of any facilities on Hawaii
Island.
That Huliko`a Drive intersection remain a full- movement intersection in the
design of the Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway Phase II Widening.
3. That the access to the shoreline at Kohanaiki be studied to determine whether
modifications can be made to allow for a full movement intersection; and
WHEREAS, to date there has been no response to those requests; and
WHEREAS, the Kohanaiki beach park intersection is north of Kailua -Kona and the
majority of the park's users approach the access point from the south; and
WHEREAS, users approaching from the south are presently required to engage in
dangerous maneuvers in order to gain access to the park; and
WHEREAS, these motorists consequently place themselves and their passengers, as well
as other drivers and their passengers, at extreme risk; and
WHEREAS, all the paving requirements to provide safe access are in place; now,
therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII that the
State Department of Transportation be placed on notice that if this situation is not corrected,
serious injuries or fatalities involving citizens of this county or our visitors may occur due to
blatant disregard to accepted principles of safety.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the County Clerk shall forward copies of this
resolution to the Honorable Mayor William Kenoi, the Director of the Department of Planning,
the Director of the Department of Public Works, and the Director of the Department of
