The final roadway striping at the Palani/Kealaka’a/Palihiolo street intersection began today. This the last step before this much-needed new traffic signal can be activated and this long overdue project can be finally completed.
Goodfellow Brothers has apparently resolved the Parker Ranch Connector Road dry well problem. So, the dedication of this roadway to the county is only remaining issue holding up the opening of this roadway. The latter raises some red flags for me. Why did Parker Ranch wait until the last minute to initiate the dedication of this roadway to the county?
Parker Ranch has until May 25, 2010 to reach a settlement agreement extension with the plaintiffs. They are seeking a 90 day extension to complete this roadway. However, I believe this is an unreasonable request in light of the current circumstances.
HELCO still reviewing HDCC’s electrical contractor new meter box plans. This means most of the Queen Kaahumanu Highway street lights will be off until these plans are approved and the new meter boxes can be installed. The current boxes can only service a certain amount street lights before the circuits overheat.
Lastly, the final roadway striping for the Queen Kaahumanu Highway extension (between Henry and Lako Street) should be completed by June.
