Hawaii County police are advising motorists that there will be a temporary one-way traffic pattern on Kapiolani Street in Hilo on Saturday, April 17, to accommodate people attending the funeral Mass for Dorothy "Auntie Dottie" Thompson.
Traffic will be directed in the Puna, or southerly, direction on Kapiolani between Waianuenue Avenue and Haili Street. The one-way pattern will be in effect from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
During those hours, parking will be allowed on both sides of Kapiolani.
Thompson, one of the founders of the Merrie Monarch Festival, died last month at the age of 88.
