....Kaloli. What I wonder is now who has to fix them?

You do if your mailbox was damaged.

A set of boxes are down on Makuu and 3rd also.

How is it we're supposed to use public money to build a park in a private subdivision when that private subdivision can't even take care of their mailboxes?

Maybe it was one of the directors of the great "Mailbox Extortion Scheme" on a last ditch effort to rekindle the whole sordid affair.

Don't be surprised if we soon hear about it at the next BOD meeting with Ruth Mazuba, Dist. 2 and Patrick Murdoch, Dist. 6 both holding a lit match claiming "road safety".

Really CE.
With no lines or reflectors it’s hard to see the road much less the mailboxes.

At least the mailboxes are white. Telephone poles are even closer to the road, and brown, and they don't get hit that often.

There also may be more than inattentive, bad drivers in play here. Perhaps at night the drugged and the drunk use the mailbox pull outs for a quick rest stop, and hit the boxes as they're maneuvering as best they can. Just be thankful it's the mailboxes and not your yard. It happened to me on Maui, a car load of drunks pulled into my yard in the middle of the night, 6 people got out, hootin' & hollarin', pissed all over the lawn, then tore up the grass on their way out.

Touche' Kenney!

Maybe some steel posts at key points would help protect the mailboxes from collisions.

Apparently another vehicle may have run the stop sign at the bottom of Paradise and hit the boulder, instead of the rock wall in L Rd curve. Who knows if the missing red diamonds and left turn arrow signage the GM hasn't replaced yet, would've helped. If I recall the white delineators that were placed all around the outside curve there prevented further accidents at that location until Maynard removed them w/out board authority.

Hooray! Grounds for yet another lawsuit! Perhaps USPS can get involved, damaging their property is a Federal crime, right?

Makes one wonder whether the boulders placed on the curve at Paradise Ala Kai is association property. If it is that's another potential lawsuit. Who put the boulders there, the homeowner or the general manager?
