Warren Lee just as bad a Bruce McClure? Come on County of Hawaii

--------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friends and Neighbors,

Tuesday, Please feel free to Call Warren directly if you don't see action on Holu and Keo Keo St. These are your roads. They have junked up 7 speed bumps in 2 bottom blocks of Ahikawa. Now Ahulani has become a high speed freeway. Open ALL connectors and there won't be a need for these bumps. Open Holu- From highlands to palisades.

Warren Lee (Director, Hi Co. Dept. of Public Works) call 961-8341
or email wlee@co.hawaii.hi.us
Take action or pay the price.

Aloha, Susan

Dear Warren,

You knew there was a 30 day waiting period. What seems to be the problem? The residents of Kona Coastview, Kona Wonderview, Kona Highlands, and all of the subdivisons north of Highlands are all WAITING! Is it poor communication skills? Incompentance? or just torture for the west side paying a MAJORITY of the taxes that keep this County a float? I am sincerly disappointed. I heard such good things about you Warren, unfortunelty you are not living up to it.

Ladys and Gentlemen, Friends and Neighbors. This is Bruce McClure's replacement.
Same s***t different person.

Let's see if they open the road on Tuesday. When the only two guys in the County that know up from down can come back from vacation and make a few rocks disappear.

Sadly waiting for action.

Aaron-It appears the road will not open until Tuesday, January 12 due to internal miscommunication. Altho not intended as an alibi, nevertheless, the absence of Stanley Nakasone and Ben Casuga(both on leave status) have not helped the communication situation. In addition, due to my personal oversight, I did not transmit the Director's 12/30/09 e-mail to HWY MAINT., as requested by HM at the 1/7/10 meeting, until noon today.


I apologize for my error.Please call if you have question.Aloha-Boby.

The road should be open the first working day after the 9th of january barring any unforseen emergencies.

Aloha Warren,

Are we still on schedule to Open Holu St. from Kona Coastview to Kona Palisades for 1/9/10? This was your last correspondence and I am assuming it is still on track. We would like to get a photo of the opening. What time are you planning on moving the rocks/ barrier?
We are also inquiring about the Opening of Holu St. to Kona Highlands? This will cut down some of Jake Jacobs problems on the corner of Kie Kie St. and even up the traffic flow.
There are 3 water mains on this connector road that belonged to the late Carl Matsumoto Water system. The lot was cleared years ago for the new road but Matsumoto’s water mains had to be removed. When our new water system went in 5 years ago, they never followed up with the opening of this road.
The more traffic can flow down various streets the smoother the traffic flow will be.
The speed bumps/humps will be an accident waiting to happen when the cars are speeding and become airborne. Especially on the steeper parts of Ahikawa and Ahulani.

7 speed bumps in 2 blocks is WAY too many! Please ask a qualified Engineer to review the entire subdivision and place them evenly.
Thank you for your follow up.

Susan. Sorry to disappoint you with the delay. We are not perfect but I understand there are a few.

Keep the faith. Warren.

Dear Warren,

We are not asking for perfection. Just consideration.
We will see your actions on Tuesday.
I have had 4 calls already. The public is not going to sit by for more B.S. delays.
They have to drive these roads daily.

Subject: Concerning Kona Coastview Subdivision faulty road planning Ahulani St/Holo Holo St. speedway/noise machine
Attention Please Warren Lee (Director, Hi Co. Dept. of Public Works)

Please take action and open up Holu and Keo Keo St. to ease up on the noise and traffic that has created a monster all because of bad planning with the County directors or whoever is responsible for more trashing of the Kona Coast and our subdivisions.
Most drivers on this side of Hualalai mountainside / above the Kona Airport are now using one road to enter and exit the lower Kona Coastview Subdivision and that road is Ahulani St. , the road where my home is located.
Since Ahikawa St. is now filled with speed bumps, all traffic avoids those bumps and heads over here on Ahulani St. to do their racing/driving up and down.
My name is Teresa Jean Aipia and I live in Kona Coastview Subdivision near the bottom of the road between Ahulani St./Nana St./HoloHolo St .
I built this house upon my property over 30 years ago with my family , raised my kids here and now my grandchildren ...... What was once a nice quiet area is now within the past year a very noisy speedway for loud engined vehicles speeding their way up and down and this has become a horrid nightmare
Only Ahulani St. is now bombarded with all the speed and noise driving us all crazy 24 hours a day.
I wear earplugs in the evening and still hear the noise of the vehicles who stream from a few subdivisions to bottle neck down here in front of my home to enter/exit using the Holo Holo St.
Please help us improve our area back to what was by opening up Keo Keo St. and Holu St.
Thank you for you time,
Teresa Jean Aipia
