Danger on Government Beach Road (HWY 137)

[Wao nahele kane]

The County has been collecting federal moneys for many years for road maintenance. I wonder if they are collecting money from the federal government for “HWY 137”. I also wonder what the federal standards are set for a road to qualify as a “HWY”. Could it be possible that the County has been and is collecting Federal funds for a road that is said to be a “HWY” but does not meet the said qualifications? Is it possible there are misappropriations occurring? Is it ok to install speed bumps on a "HWY", grow trees on a "HWY" or deem a gravel/dirt pot filled half ass scratched out trail as a "HWY"? What happens to federal road funding when it’s found to be grossly abused?
