Intersection of Hulikoa Sreet with Queen Kaahumanu Highway. <br /> <br /> <br />Burke Matsuyama provided the Action Committee with an update of the Full-Crossing <br /> <br />Intersection of Hulikoa Street with Queen Kaahumanu Highway and the circulation plan that <br />  <br />connects it via a frontage road to the Airport (a hand-out was given out to illustrate the current <br />  <br />plan being discussed by the State Department of Transportation, attached for reference). Some of <br />  <br />the issues presented to the committee are: <br />  <br />There will be U-Turns at Kaiminani Drive and Hina Lani Street which will undermine <br />  <br />the capacity of Hina Lani Street and Kaiminani Drive. <br /> <br /> <br />The left turn lanes will be eliminated and there will be a right-in/right-out only at Hulikoa <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Drive and the entrance at the Shore at Kohanaiki <br /> <br /> <br />The Frontage Road will be compromised and the access to the recreational areas of the <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Shores, Ooma, and NELHA will be limited. <br /> <br /> <br />A motion was made to have the Action Committee authorizes the Chair to send a letter to the <br /> <br /> <br />Planning Department and State Department of Transportation asking for consideration, based on <br /> <br /> <br />the public use of the Kohanaiki shoreline being so important to the Kona community, that the <br /> <br /> <br />new intersection of Hulikoa at Queen Kaahumanu Highway which is being designed as part of <br /> <br /> <br />the Phase 2 widening of Queen Kaahumanu Highway be configured as a full crossing, all <br /> <br /> <br />tm; <br />šE <br /> <br /> <br />
