Whitey quote:
"These speed bumps cost $1500 each. Speed bumps for Coastal Puna Parkway would cost even more because the road is twice as wide and would be less effective because the road shoulder is also twice as wide.
But have no fear people...
The new unofficial detour up Kuna St. and down Coastal Puna Parkway takes the vehicles by Councilman Blas' residence. Maybe he will be the hero who rectifies this unneighborly situation!"
Whitey - You might check your facts. The folks on Coastal Puna Parkway who live there full time are reporting only a minor increase in diverted traffic. Further Coastal Puna Parkway is not twice as wide, it is a 60' width versus a 40' width. Probably only needs two humps instead of 3 like Papio. If needed, our councilman has already expressed interest in pursuing humps along this route. The good news is most people (90% +) are slowing down and going over the speed humps on Papio now that amber delineators have been installed either side of humps. Many people have made comments like "God Bless wish we had these on my street in Hawaiian Beaches!!" So what is the bottom line here. Are you afraid to get out and talk to your neighbors to see if they would support speed humps on Coastal Puna Parkway if speeding starts occuring? It was pretty impressive to see neighbors working together to affect a positive change on their community in the case of both the Papio Street speed humps and the ocean park.
Whitey - your comment about HPP is really lost in translation. Do you think HSCA is an island within an island and we're not to learn from the work the other subdivisions have done or lessons they have learned? Why reinvent the wheel unless it is because you don't support positive changes. Why don't you move down to HOVE if you want to stick your head in the sand and live a life in isolation!
BTW - Thank you Carol for your observations of how blogging brings out the darker side of many people's personalities. It also shows how little respect people have for facts when they can just make it up as they type.
