So it's that time of year when the county spends its money on road repairs again and starts to cause traffic back-ups. Who on the county council litigates and determines what roads need to ba fixed and re-layered anyway? They always seem to fix roads that are just fine and waste good money instead of fixing up the more rural streets and roadways that are in more dire need of it. Are we near to election year again or something? County officials take care of everything that visitors are going to travel on to get from one place to another. They aren't the ones who live here and have to travel down torn up roadways to get from home to work and back. The local community does deserve some kick-back for all their hard earned tax dollars. A friend of mine that lives out in Haiku recently heard from someone who works for the county department which is involved with the road repairs. She was told that sometime in the next year, Ulumalu road is expected to be re-tarred. What a relief if this actually does happen. That road has been in need of this for some time now. But what about Kahului and Wailuku's neighborhoods and streets? The county periodically sends out crews with a loader truck filled with hot asphault and shovels to simply patch up potholes every now and then. Sure, that does do a little bit of a solution for a bit. But all it really does is cause more bumps to travel over. its not like the county workers actually have the time to do a smooth job. It's simply fill the hole, pat it down, and move on to the next one. i'm not sure what anyone would be able to do about this but grumble just as i am now, but hopefully one day something will happen.
Come Waianae and you cry when they fix roads cause they dig the same place over and over. I just went to Sears and drop $160 in car repairs. We get steel plates everywhere! They getting creative look like T, H, S, F's and so on. We zig across the way to save our cars and take risk bumping into each other. Take care, good-good keep asking how come and why? Kaohi
