Just called HPPOA. I've been putting off calling bc day after day I keep forgetting. Before I know it, the day is done and I've forgotten again! I've done this for months!
Anyway, I told them we live off of Maku'u and that there are 16 houses occupied here on the dead-end, so there's lots more traffic than in the past. Apparently I'm #240 or so on the waiting list of complaints. (240? Not good at remembering numbers, but somewhere in there.)
I told her we haven't seen work in at least a year, and then it was only grading. A few new houses have been built since last work, and the potholes from the trucks coming in and out of construction sites is awful awful awful. NEVER saw it this bad. It's like the Indiana Jones ride out there! When we first moved here 7+ years ago, the roads were maintained with fresh new red cinder, flattened and beautiful. With plants trimmed away from the road.
She told me they need new equipment - the grader is 15 years old (15? again, not good at numbers) and they need a new one. She told me that if people showed up at the meetings, the board will know how bad things are and how much we need the maintenance and will authorize the increase in road fees. Not sure what the excuse of no work being done on the encroaching grasses and plants onto the roadway, but hey, at least they listened and were nice considering all they hear is complaints.
As far as going to the meetings, I for one don't want to go bc a) I don't like going out at night and b) I can't stand confrontation. I figure I pay for something, I get it. I shouldn't need to have to go to meetings. All it takes for the board to know how bad things are is to drive around. Do they all live on paved roads?
My attitude is that there is only one thing HPPOA does, and that's maintain the roads. And they're not maintaining them. This is their job. This is their only task.
She did say we've had so much construction and so many new residents that the roads can't take the amt of traffic they used to.
Anyway, I'm not happy with the road situation. My neighbors aren't happy with it. My car's not happy with it. Is anyone happy with it?
I suggest everyone within HPP whose road looks like a roller coaster call HPPOA and make that list very very long. We shouldn't have to go to meetings. 966-4500
