Thanks for posting Jerry. I spent the afternoon reading the entire report. I know that is kind of sick but I like this kind of thing and was having a slow afternoon anyway! I could not agree more with the recommendation to move Bay Front Highway. I have always thought it was so wrong to have all of downtown removed from the bay by a highway. Something else that has been something close to me for sometime as some of you know is downtown residential. And I loved the idea of the woonerfs.
I liked how they talked about the branding of Hilo Town (pages 18-22 or so). They made soem very excellent points in this. Public transportation is also key (I liked the idea of bringing back sampans). Also the idea of using water as a feature was fab. Hilo is known for lots of rain so let's make it a positive!
Good stuff here! Woot!
