We conducted an investigation and decided to paint the word "STOP" on the pavement and also add longitudinal lines within the crosswalk for added visibility. Our investigation also revealed a limited sight distance problem for motorists stopped at this intersection because of vehicles parked on the makai and mauka, puna side of Kapiolani Street. We request the Hawaii County Code, Chapter 24, Article 10, Section 24-280, Schedule 28 under South Hilo be amended. This amendment will remove six marked parking stalls. A location map is attached for your information and use. HUGH Y. ONO, P.E. Chief Engineer CSU:jjs cc: Chief of Police Traffic Division I.R. No. 90-038 6,11 Comm. No. > 6 4zjl FMIe No......._.%�' Ref.

D,W UL.' 9 r REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC WORKS DATE: July 9, 1990 PLACE: Councilroom TIME: 2:30 p.m. Chairman and Members Hawaii County Council Hilo, Hawaii 96720 Your Committee on Public Works, to which was referred Communication No. 1544 and its attached Bill No. 248, reports as follows: Bill No. 248 proposes to eliminate six parking stalls on Kapiolani Street, Puna side of the Kapiolani Street/Wailoa Street intersection. This is to improve sight distance for motorists.on Wailoa Street at that intersection. The word "Stop" will -be painted on Wailoa Street at the Kapiolani Street intersection and also longitudinal lines within the crosswalk will also be painted. This will alert motorists to the -stop sign there. This decision by the Department of Public Works is in place of the "stop sign flashing light" that was discussed at a previous committee meeting. Chapter 24, Article 10, Division 5, section 24-280, schedule 28, subsection (c) South Hilo, of the Hawaii County Code 1983, relating to no parking at any time is amended.by adding the following: "( ) Kaniolani Street, mauka side, beginning at Wailoa Street and extendina one hundred five feet in the southerly direction." Incur Committee had some reservations about Bill No. 248 because there seems to be a difference of opinion between the members and the Department of Public Works. The Chief Engineer claims that he has not received any objections to eliminating parking at that intersection except that someone requested only a couple, not six, be removed. The members on the other hand, said they have received concerns about taking away on street parking because the Lanakila Homes area does not provide much off street parking. PWC REPORT NO. ins ADOPTED: PWC- log Page 2 July 9, 1990 Your Committee on Public Works, therefore recommends that the Full Council close the file on Bill No. 248 and Communication No. 1544. PHEN K.
