Your Committee on Public Works and Parks, to which was referred Communication No. 681, and

The purpose of Bill No. 215 is to amend Chapter 24, Article 10, Division I, Section 24-255,

Palani Road.
Communication No. 681 is from Deputy Chief Engineer Jiro A. Sumada, dated February 16, 2000,
transmitting Bill No. 215 for the Council's review and consideration. Mr. Sumada states in his
letter thaC the 25 mile per hour and the 35 mile per hour speed limits are overlapping. The 25 mile
per hour speed limit overlap is on Palani Road approximately 1,000 feet mauka from Queen
Kaahumanu Highway to Kuakini Highway. The 35 mile per hour speed limit overlap on Palani
Road from Hawaii Belt Road to Kuakini Highway. This proposed traffic code amendment will
correct this overlap by establishing the 25 mile per hour speed limit from Kuakini Highway to
Queen Kaahumanu Highway and the 35 mile per hour speed limit from Queen Kaahumanu
Highway to Holualoa Road.
Your Committee is in accord with the purpose and intent of Bill No. 215, and recommends that it
