Chairman and Members
Hawaii County Council
Hilo, Hawaii
Your Committee on Public Works, to which was re-referred Bill 86
amending Chapter 24 of the Hawaii County Code of 1983 relating to the
Traffic Code, reports as follows:
First , Bill 86 proposes to establish a mid-block crosswalk on
Kamehameha Avenue . The crosswalk will service the users of two
soccer fields in the vicinity of Kumu Street . As part of this
proposal , sight distances at the crosswalk are also being improved
with the creation of a No Parking Zone 250 feet in either side of the
crosswalk .
Second, Bill 86 authorizes the relocation of a crosswalk across the
Mamalahoa Highway in Kona. The existing crosswalk fronting the
Kealakekua Library terminates at the entrance to a private road and
creates a conflict between pedestrians and vehicles . This crosswalk
is being relocated approximately 60 feet to the south and will front
the Central Kona Union Church .
Third, Bill 86 proposes to relocate an existing Freight Loading Zone
on Alii Drive in the vicinity of The Kona Galley to an area on
Kaahumanu Place . Kaahumanu Place is the access road to the
Kailua Bay Wharf . Related to this proposal are the adjustment of
No Parking Zones on both Alii Drive and Kaahumanu Place .
Finally, Bill 86 proposes to delete an existing Passenger Loading
Zone on Mamo Street, just mauka of Punahoa Street . This action will
permit an additional metered space on Mamo Street .
Your Committee finds that Bill 86 passed first reading on October 16,
1985 . Your Committee still has reservations with the proposal to
relocated the existing Freight Loading Zone on Alii Drive . Your
Committee has therefore amended Bill 86 by deleting the sections
dealing wih the Freight Loading Zones and the No Parking Zones in
Kailua-Kona .
