Driving by on the way to the pool yesterday, I noticed that the Makuu Market (getting back to the thread topic) was getting a lot of new gravel put down in the market area, & it looked like the workers were really smoothing it down (even using a road roller)....so this looks like a very in-depth make-over....now for my dream of better looking stalls (I know, but it would be wonderful if they looked less like a FEMA tarp village, & more like a tropical Hawaiian market... I can dream...right.???)

Yes ... but I'll settle for not having to walk through inches of standing water every time it rains.

Driving by today, beautiful smooth gravel area & old pole frames going up (may have replaced some poles...but there are pink & yellow & duct-taped ones are still there...)

Oh well...I can dream, right
Nice bamboo roofs, using a resource (& hopefully labor) from on island:

Yesterday they were doing the entrance driveway with chip and seal.

entrance driveway with chip and seal

Did they use a licensed contractor?

Seriously, it would be useful to have a comparison for HPP's chip seal work, and the market driveway is a great real-world use case...

Did they call it roadway maintenance or improvement? Seriously... LOL

[kalakoa]

roadway maintenance or improvement?

Almost forgot! Did they get permits for the work, or is it true that they're considered a "Federal enclave" which is "not part of County"?

market driveway is a great real-world use case...

Yes and no.
Yes, it's gets lots of traffic.
No, it's one day, for 8 hours each week, and the speed limit when I've driven on it is about 2 mph. Of course, that approximates Orchidland 40th Street's speed limit, but probably not most roads in HPP.
