MEDIA RELEASE

Police are advising Hilo motorists that because Big Island schools will be closed, there will be normal two-way traffic patterns on Waianuenue Avenue and Kapiolani Street during the Christmas and New Year holiday season.

The usual weekday morning one-way traffic patterns will not be in effect from Thursday, December 20, 2001, through Sunday, January 6, 2002, because public schools will also be closed.

The one-way traffic patterns will start again when school resumes on Monday, January 7, 2002.

During school days, traffic on Waianuenue below Komohana Street is one-way in the makai direction from 7:15 to 8 a.m. on school days. During the same hours, traffic along Kapiolani between Haili Street and Waianuenue is one-way in the Puna direction.
