Re: TESTIMONY IN SUPPORT
Amending Chapter 24, Article 11, Division 2, Section 24-310, Schedule 14
Creating truck routes for certain roads within the HOVE subdivision
Aloha Hawai'i County Council,
On behalf of the HOVE Road Maintenance Corporation Board of Directors, we wish to
provide supporting testimony to create truck routes on specified roads within the Hawaiian
Ocean View Estates subdivision.
Our Articles of Incorporation(approved under court Civil No. 89-832 under Article VII,
section B (2) give the corporation the power to "make improvements to promote safety of the
HOVE road system".
We want to express two significant points in support of this legislation:
1. The designated truck routes are set on main boulevards which have been set up and
maintained at a width of 24' . Truck drivers can stay on the truck routes until they
come to the closest secondary street to their destination. Truck route boulevards have
been built for safer travel. Ensuring the safety of residents is of primary concern for the
corporation.
2. Adopting the proposed truck route plan allows the corporation to achieve annual road
plan budgetary goals to maintain and improve our road system. HOVE receives no
funding from the County of Hawaii.
Amending Bill 251 will provide the Road Maintenance Corporation the ability to carry out its
mandate in maintaining, repairing and promoting the safety of all of our 157 miles of roadway.
