Board notes road blessing; construction to clear path toward Pohoiki intended to create alternate lava‑flow exit
Summary
President Smiley Burrows reported a road blessing on Kahukai Street and said construction has begun to clear a path toward Pohoiki to provide another evacuation route in case of future lava flows.
President Smiley Burrows told the board about a recent road blessing on Kahukai Street and said it acknowledged "the beginning of construction to clear a path toward Pohoiki that will give the community another way out in the event of another lava flow." The board framed the work as an important resilience measure for residents of Leilani Estates.
Board members did not record a formal vote or funding decision at the meeting tied directly to the road clearance item, but the treasurer later proposed reallocating funds to a road repair account elsewhere on the agenda. Smiley also said the board plans to meet with county officials soon on related park‑grant matters, which could intersect with infrastructure planning.
