Call the MAYOR

It is important that we all contact the MAYOR (ph #768-4141)

We need to hold the CITY responsible to conduct a Comprehensive Traffic Analysis for ALL of Kailua -- not just the roads fronting Don Quijote.  This traffic study should be funded strictly by the City, and NOT by a private entity!

The City failed to codify our completed Ko'olaupoko Sustainable Communities Plan into the Land Use Ordinance (even after repeated requests from our Neighborhood Board) since 1999.  The Ko'olaupoko Sustainable Communities Plan states: no big box stores in our community, and no store larger than 90,000 square feet! At 130,000 square feet, the Target store is larger than two football fields combined!

In the last few years, Kaneohe Ranch has developed a large area of Kailua Town which has brought in a significant amount of traffic.  With the development of the new Whole Foods building and the selling of the old Don Quijote property, how much more traffic can Kailua Town really take?

The City needs to look at Kailua's traffic problem BEFORE they issue any building permits for Target or for any other future development in Kailua Town!!!
