Convience does NOT trump Safety

The County created the problem of safety when they put in speed bumps on Ahikawa. I had one CRAZY lady call me at 10:00pm last night to rant on and on about safety. Well try living on Ahikawa or Ahulani. You are totally correct. there is a HUGE safety issue with the volume of cars now on Ahulani to avoid the Ahikawa speed bumps.
The reality is some 10 years back the County had plans for open 4 connector roads. This crazy lady sounds like a newbie to the neighborhood. What about the poor homeowners on Nana St? What about the poor homeowners on Ahulani? There is a real problem. It is called even traffic flow.
We had an Engineer from the mainland walk the entire road on Holu/ Keo Keo from Palisades to Coastview. His comment is there is NO I repeat NO sight problems on Keo Keo. The sight problems he saw was on the cross streets on Ahikawa.
The County has been in litigation for years, the judge (Ibarra) has made the decision to open this road as per the County plans. All of the people are waiting for this opening. One idiot is holding it up.
Please call Warren Lee and give him your opinion.
