Re: Bill 212 Testimony
In 1963 these roads were dedicated to the County of Hawaii. Over the past 20 years and three attempts we finally have an Improvement District installing a new water system.
We the homeowners are paying for the majority of the project. The remainder is being paid for by a grant from UDSA Urban Development. Each property owner is paying approximately $10,000.00 for a new water system, meter and hook ups.
By the time the system is in the roads will be on their final legs. The heavy equipment up and down the roads, the trenching from the pipes being laid, and the rain under mining the sides of the roads has literally destroyed the roads.
The roads have been maintained by a shovel of asphalt in the wholes every few months or so. This will be the first resurfacing this road has had in 43 years.
These roads will be used by residents of Coastview, Wonderview, Highlands, and Palisades and other surrounding subdivisions. The roads will become a main thorough fair once the cross streets are opened.
Once the system is finished.
Then the cross roads will need to be opened.
Then the resurfacing to complete the entire project.
If the road resurfacing is done prior to the cross roads being opened then the traffic will be traveling at top speeds down (the new smooth) roads, and will become a traffic hazard.
This project will become the prototype for all future water improvement districts.
Please help us complete this project with the resurfacing of the Coastview/ Wonderview roads.
Thank you for an opportunity to submit my testimony.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Susan McGeachy
Homeowner since 1988 in Coastview
