– Get truck traffic out of town – Get cross-town traffic out of town – Prefer a longer bypass to get traffic all the way out of town (e.g., Waiemi to Church Road)
– Pre-planning for future expansion and growth – Very few landowners – Provide alternate emergency access – May be able to get U.S. Department of Defense support
– Stream Crossings – Hawaiian Home Lands – Money – Time
22
reduction in the volume of traffic, notably trucks using the roads
everyone through the same corridor
Opelo and Lindsey
23
– Hawaiian Homelands – Section 4f properties (Existing or Future Park Land) – Known archaeological or cultural sites – Existing subdivisions
– Grades – Number of Stream Crossings – Intersections

for 1000’ buffer from Lalamilo Farm Lots
grades are the most accommodating.
Road, connection points are limited due to DHHL Lalamilo, the Future Park Lands across from Mahua, and Kanehoa/Anekoa/Ouli subdivisions
to minimize stream crossings)

Lalamilo Farm Lots where it turns north while maintaining 1000’ buffer
erminus is the County Transfer Station Road
