Maku'u rush hour

[csgray]

My understanding is that the old entrance (which is now closed) was not on the Maku'u property but instead was the entrance and gate to neighboring state or federal property and that they did not want it used once there was an alternative. I think the Market is doing a pretty good job considering that these are just regular people figuring it out, not traffic specialists. People do get on and off the highway in a better manner than before, the internal traffic plan does still need a little work and they are clearly trying to balance the parking needs with the need for expanded vendor spaces with mixed success. I think the time will come when the only parking spaces near the booths will be handicapped spaces and the rest of us will be parking out by the "new" entrance. I think the plan is to clear more parking as it is needed. I'm sure things will get thoroughly redesigned if they ever get the funding to build the permanent structures to replace the tents.
