Wailua
Beach Bike Path
Poll |
KAPA'A,
KAUA'I - November 4, 2009
The Wailua-Kapa`a Neighborhood Association board of directors was asked
last month to take a position on where the proposed Bike Path through
Wailua should be constructed -- on Wailua Beach adjacent to Kuhio
Highway or the alternate route behind Coco Palms. Whatever our personal
preferences were, we knew that our association's members and the
residents of East Kaua`i were divided on this issue.
Therefore,
we developed an opinion poll on our website to allow people to express
their preferences on this community issue.
The online poll commenced on October 13 and concluded on November
1. According to the results,
457
votes were registered and 54% favored the Bike Path on Wailua Beach
while 46% favored redirecting the path.
The polling site provided information on both sides of the
issue.
Only one vote per web connection was permitted by the polling software.
Based on the close results of the poll, the board will not take a
position.
We would like to thank all the concerned citizens who took part in this
poll.
