Comm. No. 2019-06 <br />Parks, Water & Roads Group <br />Report to AC for February 2019 <br />POLOLU: The bill for funding work on the trail will be before the Ways & Means Committee in the next <br />few weeks. The request is for $500,000 for safety work (including "hardening" of certain areas that are <br />deemed dangerous). <br />PRATT ROAD: We agreed that the next step is to proceed with Phase 2 of the clean-up/clearing and <br />maintenance project. This is the next step westward toward Old Halaula Mill Road and Union Mill <br />Road. The tentative date for Phase 2 is at the end of March. We are looking into ways to fund clean-up <br />and maintenance of Pratt Rd. <br />I'OLE: Sarah recounted the dangerous effects that the recent mud -slide had on our community. <br />John reported that he had spoken with Don Smith (DOT) about having DOT work with 'lole to develop <br />improved engineering practices for the future. Andrew Stevens noted that there is another road <br />option with regard to this problem (it runs parallel to the highway and comes out at the end of the <br />Middle School). John said that he would contact Capt. Evangelista as to how to have that road <br />designated as an emergency route. <br />DOT: Members of our group who attended the January 31s' meeting with DOT Chief Engineer, Don <br />Smith and his deputy Harry Takiue discussed the progress, to date, on promises made to fix some <br />problems. Please refer to Toni's article in the February 22,2019 (pg 9) KMN. Of the 8 listed areas of <br />concern there has been success with the tree removal at Halawa Gulch and installing a cross -walk <br />pedestrian notice on the highway between the elementary/high school (makai side) and the nursery on <br />the mauka/mountain side. Our group will continue to monitor the commitments made and review the <br />process in one month. <br />HALAULA WELL: Toni reported that the DWS wants to have a community meeting to inform residents <br />of their plans and the process of obtaining bids to do the work that will affect area residents. <br />NEXT MEETING: March 27, 2019 Wednesday, Old Judiciary Bldg. at 5 p.m. <br />
