I learned alot of things from this Kona Town Meeting at old A last night.
1. If you see any pot holes the County Needs your help to contact them and they will get filled according to Ron Thiel (Division Head, Hi Co. DPW Traffic) and Warren Lee (Director, Hi Co. Dept. of Public Works) call 961-8341 or email wlee@co.hawaii.hi.us
or rthiel@co.hawaii.hi.us
2. Phase 2 of Queen Kahaamunu highway is under litigation so they are starting the process again for a new set of bids. This is on hold. Jiro Sumada (Deputy Director, State Highway Division) admitted there were alot of errors on phase 1 and the County and State are learning from them.
3. Lako Street is dead in the water. No money and no connection.
4. The mid-level road is proposed to go from Kaiminani thru to Henry Street. This is designed for a 4 lane road but they are only going to build 2 lanes now! They are working on the permits and trying to meet the Oct. 1st deadline in order to get the $35 million in federal funds.
5. Complaints about the speed limits on Queen K's first phase can be directed to the traffic branch- Albert Takashita. If you are not satisfied with the limits you can contact him.
6. Complaint regarding the over weight vehicles seemed to stump the speakers. They looked like a deer in the head lights. They said it is a Police responsibility.
This Kona Town Meeting is a Great Group and very benefical for our community. It was refreshing to put faces with the responsiblities for our roads.
