KNA to ask DOT for pedestrian crossing at planned roundabout

Planning Committee chair Ginny Shinn told the board the KNA should bring the county planning director to a future meeting after preparing questions, and she proposed sending a letter to state transportation engineer Larry Dill asking that a pedestrian crossing be added to the planned roundabout between Aina Hou and the new Kilauea entry road. The motion to send the letter was seconded by Thomas Pickett and carried unanimously.

The board also asked the Department of Transportation to create an interim safe area for keiki to cross the highway to Aina Hou while the roundabout is planned. The committee will prepare a list of questions for the county planning director in advance of a future KNA meeting.
