Mayor Kenoi's administration was able to construct/or rehabilitate several roads in West Hawaii. He was able to do more in eight years than Harry Kim did.
Mayor Kenoi-
Mamalahoa Highway bypass
La'aloa Avenue Extension
Rehabilitation of Kaiminani Drive Phase 1 & 2
Ane K. Highway
Widening of Mamalahoa Highway in Waimea
And he did it in the midst of...and coming out of recession. Not to mention all the additions and renovations for our parks and recreational facilities. Look, I'm no Billy fan. I voted against him twice. But I will not act like he did not do anything for our county. The new park in Puna -- albeit new...and still in need of finishing touches -- will be transformational for Puna folks. It is real easy for folks to talk negatively about it if you don't use it. But for those of us who have already seen the facility packed with kids and other community folks --it's a slam dunk. To see people walking, playing, saying hello to one another is a good thing for Puna. Again, I'm not a Billy fan, but I will not deny his accomplishments.
Mayor Kim-
Widening of Kuakini Highway
Manawalea Street/Keanalehu Street Extension (completed in Mayor Kenoi's first term )
Kealaka'a Street realignment/signalization (completed in Mayor Kenoi's first term)
