This is an interesting thread - If you wanted to live in a remote area, would you move on a County connective right of way between two major pre-developed land regions that have no other connective within miles? Could you seriously expect your desire to keep it remote to contain any merit when the inevitable time came to improve the connective? No need to answer the questions, it’s just something to ponder. I don’t live on the Beach Road and didn’t want to live on it just because of the above questions I asked myself.
I do happen to live here in Waa Waa and know the feelings here on the subject are divided and that’s inclusive of old timers too. Those for road improvement are not just the new people who have moved here, it’s divided across the board and many new people likewise don’t want improvements. I personally have mixed feelings on the subject. At the same time I see a need for our little community of people down here to get together so perhaps we can help shape the inevitable and keep the tranquility that we all value so much down here. I see no need to use asphalt on the road but I can see why an improvement is needed. I’m ok with the use of a tree sap based chip-seal road media and I know some opposed to road improvements are ok with chip-seal also. Chipseal roads are far less expensive compared to asphalt and would provide a better medium for such an improvement in this environmentally sensitive area.
E ho'a'o no i pau kuhihewa.
