The County of Hawai‘i is appealing to the community to drive with caution and Aloha,

“We want to keep this as peaceful as possible, and the Hawai‘i Police Department is
asking for your help to keep the Saddle Road open and safe for everybody,” the Mayor
said. “We are all ‘ohana of this Island community.”
Kim expressed appreciation of the protestors’ conduct at the Pu’uhonua site.
“The main thing is to respect each other, and to keep everyone safe and in peace,”
Mayor Kim said.
