LEADERSHIP FOR TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT!
Road improvements and traffic congestion relief will be a top priority
of my administration. The population growth of the Island of Hawai'i, particularly
in the Puna and West Hawai'i districts, has led to traffic congestion and
great frustration for our people who must commute for work, shopping and
other activities. The situation is even more aggravated by the rising gas
prices and lack of public transportation.
As your State Senator, I fought for and supported:
- Funding for Saddle Road improvements to link East and West Hawai'i
- The widening of Queen Kaahumanu Highway
- The Kawaihae Road bypass from Waimea to Kawaihae
- Continuing improvements to Komohana Street
- Keaau Bypass Road
- Keaau-Pahoa shoulder lane conversion
- The Mohouli and Puainako extensions
- Kealakehe Parkway Extension
- Akoni Pule Highway realignment and widening
- Volcano Highway improvements from Kulani Road to Mountain View School
- Hawai'i Belt Road rockfall prevention and drainage improvements
- Replacement of the Kawailii Bridge on Hawai'i Belt Road
