Subject: Pahoa - Post Office Road
Aloha Mayor Kim,
For approximately two years FoPF and Mainstreet Pahoa Association have attempted to seek a solution to a hazardous road condition in Pahoa Village.
Post Office Road in Pahoa Village is a county road which is rendered hazardous and dangerous by the non-conforming placement of utility poles and resulting restriction in the right of way.
We have documented the situation for Public Works and have researched the Joint Pole Agreement and Franchise Agreement between the utility companies and the CoH.
We have tried to work with our councilwoman without result.
In June we met with Bruce McClure and Ron Thiel where the need for improvement was recognized and assurances of progress were undertaken. In follow up with P.W. I have been given the impression that the interests of the utility companies out weight the interests of the residents.
In frustration I seek the attention of your office in resolution of this rather mundane matter. We ask your help and guidance before we proceed with other remedies.
Please contact me as soon as possible on this subject.
Sincerely,
Rob Tucker, President
