 COUNTY BEGINS PUAPUA`ANUI STREET STRIPING
5/8/2013
Concerns over speeding on Puapua`anui Street have been expressed over the past several years. Within that time, two major "near miss" accidents have occurred, and had mobilized homeowners to initiate several sign waving events to educate drivers of the problem (some speeders were also from within Pualani Estates). In 2012 the Board formed a Traffic Safety Committee to work with County Representatives, the Mayor's Office, Kona Police, and Traffic Department to address these concerns. We are pleased that the County has responded with a new striping plan as a first step in addressing excessive and reckless driving within our community.

TIP: Making sure your street address is visible will help postal and other delivery services and civil/medical emergency services locate your residence quickly.
