Honolulu Landing - to pave or not to pave?

[Rob Tucker]

There are certainly other places in Puna that could use the asphalt.

I've personally been struggling with Public Works about widening Post Office Rd. in Pahoa Village. It's a 25' wide easement which is hazardous and narrow. Ultility poles are inappropriately placed seven feet into the roadway. Increase in traffic has made this a logjam.

Publc Works maintains that they cannot undertake the sub standard private roads in the subdivisions in Puna. They can't seem to undertake the sub standard public roads under their care either. This is just one of many issues where we intend to be more effective with Friends of Puna's Future.
