Aloha Hawaii County Council,

My name is Wade Lonokapu, I am writing in support of Bill 131. The State of Hawaii, Lower Puna `
residents and the businesses that support the Lower Puna communities would tremendously benefit from
an improved transit system. Demographic and census studies validate the need for this form of
infrastructure development. The districts residents and governmental expenditures applicable to
the existing Highways and roadways are of sufficient significance to justify this need. Highway 130 sucks
the life out of so many residents pockets (in fuel, time, maintenance)and requires a great chunk of the
States budget to maintain. The revenue generated in the transit system would be a tremendous added
compliment to the resolution of this delima. Hawaii County would actually be moving in the right direction i
and not only saving money for other needs but also putting money back into the bank and be reducing the
carbon monoxide pollution from the burdening traffic. Please, please pass Bill 131 and fund the proposed
mass transit system for not only Lower Puna but also for the State of Hawaii and the welfare of our planet
and lives as a whole. Every step in the right direction grows our future success. Again, please pass Bill
131. It is the right thing to do. Maybe, some of the money that would be saved and revenue generated in
the mass transit system could fix the botched traffic light and coning system at Pohaku/Shower...LOU!
Thank you so much for your time, service and consideration.We sincerely appreciate your care for our
community.
