As a frequent user of Papio in that I am a Waawaa resident and as such it appears I am one of the "scum and crackheads" as referenced by someone in this thread. I find it amusing the NIMBY, parochial overtones expressed. Most of us who have begged for only a modicum of maintenance on Beach Road more or less roll with the punches on this latest insult to injury action. Since the speed bumps are obviously directed at the residents of Waawaa and those assorted "scum/crackheads" who enjoy the coastline at Honolulu Landing, I might point out that Papio is part of a county designated road and as such provides legal access to points towards Kapoho. Since one poster pointed out that our desire for a passable road must be mitigated by the fact that "we knew what we were into when we moved to Waawaa", the residents on Papio must also acknowledge that they purchased property on a designated county road and "knew what they were into" when they moved there.
And while we're at it, the "scum and crackheads" are just people fishing, picnicking and doing what people do at the shoreline. Yes there are young people drinking and smoking but is that any different from how you remember your youth?
Although it is small minded and maybe even petty, frankly I don't care about your problems in Hawaiian Shores since it is obvious no one in this thread seems to recognize that the only people who are directly affected by this action are us "scum and crackheads" who live in Waawaa and recreate at Honolulu Landing. I will drive around the bumps, use alternate routes and try to organize a "blow your horn at the bumps" people's action just to reflect my disdain for your indifference for the problems other than your own.
