I can't find any news or official announcements regarding this. Anyone have a link to a believable source? Or is some idiot bureaucrat or politician just "mulling" it?So this is all about Covid mitigation? In that case it's, most generous word that comes to mind, misguided. Fewer days means more congestion during hours open, exactly what you're trying to avoid. Instead, block the middle parking spaces near dumpsters to keep people away from one another. Not that outdoor exposure for a few seconds is problematic. Geez!
Edited to add: I just looked on bigislandnow.com , and they confirm this lame plan. Of course, the county's own website hasn't been updated. Expect exponential increases in roadside dumping with no improvement in Covid infection rates. Stupid is as stupid does.
