Aloha team,
This CL was put there by others that participated in the process. It was more than
five people that made this recommendation.
If we start deleting roads because of obscenities and phone calls there will be no
order to the process. P
Lets keep the CL in place. What we are getting is what we hoped for
COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION!!!:))))))
It is a positive sign to have people getting involved.
They have an opportunity now AND at the PREP fair to give input and make
productive suggestions. They can give us recommended alternative routes to
replace the ones others have offered.

It is likely that Sea view is posturing with the nimby attitude. Farris you live in an
adjacent community to them yes?
What alternatives do you see?
Some HPP folks are up roaring, Some HA folks will too.
Do we just walk away from the strong focused work and efforts of others who
created the PCDP and now others who are asking that it be implemented???
The PRIVATELY owned road, that happens to go in front of our home, and
Marlene's, that we legally and lawfully own is the ONLY ER CL route in Puna.
We get traffic from lower Puna daily that is not emergency related.
Likely Sea View folks use it to "cut" or avoid traffic when there is a perfectly
good HDOT public roadway they can use. What reason are some in an uproar?
Remember, this is a Puna district plan. It is inclusive of all.
A precedent has been set in our County with the "PEAR".
I would love to have a conversation relating to this in committee,as last time I was
cut off by a history doesn't matter statement.
We want to work with all communities.
The sea view CL may not be a connection that is in the end chosen.
I do not agreed to pulling the input of those who engaged in the process earlier,
because a few fowl mouth emotion people.
As they get more involved in the process they may understand that this is a time
of DATA gathering from all.
We invite them to look at their area, consider there neighbors and community
needs, reflect and come up with a viable CL alternative.
Respectfully,
Stephanie

I am a committee member and have not seen them.
