Community members raised concerns about increased accidents on the highway through Kilauea and suggested reducing the posted speed limit from 50 to 40 mph. The board approved a motion, moved by Ginny Shinn and seconded by Thomas Pickett, instructing the association to write a letter to Larry Dill at the State Department of Transportation requesting a review and ‘smoothing’ of speed limits and consideration of safety mitigations.
The motion passed unanimously. The minutes record the board’s action as a formal request for the Department of Transportation to consider lower speed limits and other safety measures; no engineering study or DOT timeline for review was recorded in the minutes.
