Downton Hilo plan

[Devany]

Jerry, thanks for sharing this. It does appear to have some good ideas, also very nicely put together with photos etc. At first reading, it had me wondering about raising the entire street level as was once done in Sacramento, Chicago and other towns that needed infrastructure below ground or were dealing with flood issues. Even historical buildings were raised and have remained standing above the original ground level for a very long time. It would enable a Tsunami to flow under the existing downtown and provide parking. Of course with the seismic and flooding issues, this structure would have to withstand a lot if it is even possible.

It will be interesting to see what they do, if they do any or part of the suggestions. People here are so resistant to change of any kind, and we are talking major changes that need to be made.

Thanks again for sharing it Jerry. I am going to sit down and read it more closely.

Aloha au i Hawai`i,
