Hi again, Susan.
Attached here is a document that I added to the Kona Traffic Safety Committee (KTSC) agenda for January 24th. I'm a co-chair with that organization and try to keep people informed about issues relevant to our traffic dilemma. The number of residential and commercial development applications submitted to the planning department in that two month period is astounding.
The KTSC also takes issue with allowing traffic lights on the highway, and also takes issue with allowing development access on the highway, which adds to the bottleneck. Some in the group promote frontage roads or alternate road ingress/egress. We've been promoting local connectivity for quite a while, but the progress is staggeringly slow.
My greatest concern for West Hawaii is the inept planning for our infrastructure. Hard to see our issues from across a desk in Hilo (to paraphrase a comment I've heard many times before).
Please let me know if information like this is useful to you and the project.
Barbara
