Dear Hawaii County Council Members, r !
We live on Royal Poinciana Drive in Alii Kai subdivision and for the last 11 to 12 years,
our roadway has served as the only mid-section connector (from Alii Drive to Kuakini
Highway) over the 5-mile span between Kailua-Kona and Keauhou. Vehicles from other
subdivisions use our roadway as a through street to get to and from the beach.
This means that we aze constantly bombazded by noisy, speeding vehicles at all hours of
the day and night.
On December 30, 1998, a very lazge group of community members testified before you
(w/o Ms. Leithead-Todd, and Mr. Arakaki) and asked that several mauka-makai
connections be made between Kailua-Kona and Keauhou. Reasons given for more
connections included traffic relief on Royal Poinciana Drive so that our roadway could
be returned to its neighborhood status. When the community members asked for several
connections, they did not mean just ONE more connection as in Lako Street, they meant
SEVERAL connections as in the Kahakai Development Project and any other future
developments in this area.
The Kahakai Development Project, which is located just north of our subdivision needs to
be responsible to itself and to the community by providing its own mauka makai (Alii
Drive to Kualdni Highway) connection for the vehicular traffic generated from its own
subdivision. It is unfair for this project to impose itself upon other existing subdivisions
by dumping its vehicles onto our streets in order for their residents to get to and from the
beach. Requiring this connection would greatly enhance the traffic circulation for this
azea. Furthermore, since you aze allowing the Kahakai Development folks to keep its
7,500 sq. ft. lot designation, it makes a lot of sense for the long run to require this project
to construct the necessary infrastructwe NOW, rather than having tax payer dollazs pay
for it later.
We are sick and tired of putting up with vehicles from subdivisions that should have their
own mauka makai access.
Please do the right and responsible thing and require the Kahakai Development project
to construct its own mauka makai (from Alii Drive to Kualcini Highway) connection
NOW.
Thank you,
The Residents of Royal Poinci Drive in Alii Kai subdivision
