NOTICE TO VENDORS AT KALAPANA
This notice is to inform you that the County will initiate enforcement of the law that prohibits commercial activity within any County right-of- way. Pursuant to Hawai‘i County Code (“HCC”) §22-2.5, no portion of a County street, which includes any “county owned and maintained street, highway, or right of way,” shall be used for purposes of vending, selling, renting or leasing any goods, wares, food, merchandise or other kinds of property. Enforcement is necessary to alleviate bicycle accidents and disruption to residents in the area.
The County will strictly enforce the provisions of HCC § 22-2.5 beginning July 1, 2018.
By that date, all vendors currently operating on the roadway or shoulders must vacate all portions of the roadway. Failure to comply with this deadline may result in monetary fines as provided in HCC § 24-16.
The County intends to move the parking area for vehicles to the second gate of Highway 130 to reduce the walking or biking distance to the park boundary. The County will provide guidance to vendors who wish to continue to operate on suitable locations off the roadway.
An informal community meeting will be held to address any outstanding concerns or questions as detailed below:
Date: April 25, 2018
Time: 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Location: Pahoa Community Center
Who: Affected entities and County personnel
Please note that the meeting is being held for your convenience. The County continues to be dedicated to the safety and well-being of its residents. Mahalo for your understanding.

I'm sure that the timing of the meeting (Wednesday evening) is just a coincidence.
Time to get the popcorn ready, this should be entertaining.
