A thing of beauty… is taking forever

March 26th, 2008 by Vicki Viotti

I have to admit that I’m not home on the Windward side during the workday very much. By the time I get there, the workers assigned to the “beautification” of Kahekili Highway have long since gone home.

The only thing that looks much different, day after day, are restriped lanes that zigzag to make room for more highway beauty spots.

But friends who hang out in Kane’ohe every day swear that people are actually working on the project, expected to cost $3.62 million, when all is said and done. The improvements between Likelike Highway and Ha’iku Road are supposed to feature median landscape planter boxes at two locations, among other facelifts.

The up side is that the state found workaround to lane closures, so it’s not jamming up traffic too badly. But it seems to be taking a long time to finish. This project that has inched along all through the planning and design phases, too. Don’t forget: It was conceived back in 2001, when this was a different world.

Oh, well. At least we townside work drones can glance up at the Ko’olaus while we wait. They’re Mother Nature’s planter boxes.

    The biggest voices are the journalists.Now if I was writing an article about why things are inching along,like 7 years then I would go to the horses mouth,so to speak,and get answers.As a newspaper journalists,acting like a nipping chihuahua at the feet of those responsible,DOT,would be a start in getting answers.Going to the state representative in that area would be a start.Even going to the neighbor hood board meetings and evoking and provoking concerns would be a lot better for the community that just making observations.

    This is a test. This is ralvic illustrating a point that someone can ruin your reputation by posting with your name. This should be corrected.And identities and user names shouldn’t be easily copied at a whim. Now I’ve been to a lot of message board and blog sites where there is a greater sensitivity in protecting the people that blog.In no instance can you register with the same name as anyone else. Here there are no safeguards,obviously.
