I remember the majority of the time was spent digging a drench down the middle of 130 to connect the water lines from Paradise Drive to Pahoa.
We asked ourselves over and over again, why are they not adding driving lanes?? [:0]
Finally one day while stopped in the traffic jam, I asked one of the guys straightening traffic cones.
He laughed and said "because we will need more work in a few years".
Just like now.. Are they even considering the logical choices?
or just what benefits them?
Weve been trying to get a traffic lights at many of the entrances to our subdivisions for many years (where many of our friends and neighbors have been very seriously hurt or even killed).
How many people got Killed or Seriously Hurt in front of the Makuu Market?
I know its on a dangerous curve but cmon its private property.. right?
Maybe Hawaiian Homelands?
Just goes to show what can happen if you have friends in high places?
Sure seems so to me.
When they decided the Makuu Market was more important for its ONE DAY A WEEK traffic than the dangerous intersections we travel on a daily bases.
Thats the moment I gave up even trying to understand the reasoning and excepted the facts,
"its not what you know"
its
"Who you Know!"
it was just another screw-us-over... bunch of Bull Crap if ya ask me.
On the other hand Kahuna Scotts crew did do a very nice job!!
