Citation for this assertion?
HELCO doesn't do anything for free. Either they "absorb" the cost of infrastructure work (and pass it along to ratepayers) or they "charge" someone for it (public works, so passed along to the taxpayers).
In this case, they moved the poles enough for one more lane, so they'll have to move the poles again if the highway is ever widened, and charge accordingly. Ordinarily I would add "but that's Never Gonna Happen", except there's a long-range plan that suggests it might.
Some people have no choice when they get into traffic
In which case it's up to area employers to institute "flex-time" in order to better distribute the rush hour....
