I was at the meeting and left right after the DOT presentations because I was so disgusted with their pompous attitude (we are the experts so we know more than you and don't have to listen to your ideas for improvement or concerns). The roundabout for Kahakai is still on the drawing board and I maintain that that is where we need one. We do NOT need one at the "intersection of death" by Malama Marketplace. For one thing, it will be way too close to the Kahakai roundabout. For another, this plan has not addressed some of the major problems, such as the entry into and exit from the marketplace.But DOT Highways Div. administrator Alvin Take****a claims that he knows best because he has 40 years experience with highways. So I guess he is including the design by Kea'au HS as an example of his expertise...?
