Summary:
This Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) presents the Recommended alternative and the evaluation of impacts associated with the proposed improvement of Saddle Road between the Mamalahoa Highway (SR 190) and Milepost 6 near Hilo. Twelve action alternatives were under consideration that incorporate use of the existing alignment and potential new alignments. The Recommended Alternative reconstructs the existing substandard two-lane roadway to a two-lane roadway with shoulders for a design speed of 80 to 100 kilometers per hour. Substantive issues have been resolved and included protected species of flora and fauna, Critical Habitat for the Endangered Palila, wetlands and biological habitats of importance, archaeological resources, fire hazard, residential displacement, and noise.
