As a County, we do what we can, but much of the burden must fall <br /> on the State, given the disparity of resources. This is especially true when traffic <br /> congestion can only be alleviated by action from the Department of Transportation. <br /> SCR 72 and SR 39 address a critical bottleneck, and your support for their <br /> approval will be appreciated. <br /> Resp tfully Submitted, <br /> Harry Kim <br /> MAYOR <br /> County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
