Well, folks, the DOT meeting in Pahoa Monday night was enlightening, to say the least. We were informed that the current construction between the Keaau transfer station and Shower Drive is for commuter-hour shoulders only and that those lanes will merge just the Keaau side of Shower Drive, not AT Shower Drive. And it was confirmed that the Shower Drive stoplight has not yet gotten out of the DOT's design phase!
Sen. Ruderman urged the DOT to make sure the merge lanes go all the way to Shower Drive and that the intersection include turn lanes! But the DOT said that is NOT in the design.
The DOT needs a complete overhaul!
