Subject: Hamakua CDP
Hi LeAna,
My office will be coordinating the review of the subject plan and that we'll be also coordinating with our
Highways Division Hawaii District Office. Emailed you to check in with you if there's anything specific or
issues that you'd like us to consider. Also, wanted to check if you'd like our Airports and Harbors Divisions to
review; but don't think so since didn't see anything that is under their jurisdiction.
I've reviewed all the documents, and don't have any major comments. I would like to discuss further on the
next steps on the County and HDOT pursuit of County Actions 65-71 and Kokua Actions 49-52, later.
Also, wanted to let you know my office is currently procuring consultant services for a Hamakua Coast
Corridor Study. And, when we get moving the subject plan along with other County plans will be used to
provide a lot of the context for the transportation needs in our Study. And, would like to include the Countystaffinitsdevelopment.
This Study proposes to come up with projects and strategies to improve operations and maintenance of this
route. The length of the study is from Hilo to Waimea—50 miles. It will also consider historic/cultural,
flora/fauna, and flooding issues along the corridor. Transportation-wise it will be considering both regional andlocalized/community surface transportation needs for all modes—vehicles, freight,bike,ped and transit.
Thank you,
Ken
