I made a mistake regarding roadway striping for the new Kealaka’a/Palani/Palihiolo Street traffic signal. The striping contractor finished this work likely around the last time I blogged about this project. However, the warning signs which were in the mauka turn pocket threw me off.
I’m going to call up the project engineer this week to find out when the county plans to activate the signal. The latter was going to happen after the roadway striping was completed as far as I understood. In addition, I’m also going to reiterate my concern about the poor makai town-bound roadway pavement to the project engineer.
The new Queen Kaahumanu Highway streetlights by the police station were turned on a few days ago. I’m absolutely ecstatic HDCC’s electrical contractor was able to resolve the electrical issues with these lights. However, it appears the streetlights by the Makala Blvd/Queen Kaahumanu Highway intersection is still off. I hope HDCC’s electrical contractor can also fix these streetlights.
Parker Ranch’s contractor, Goodfellow Brothers, apparently still needs to complete additional work on the Parker Ranch Connector Road. (some drainage, final paving, roadway markings, signage) before it can be opened to the public. This explains why Parker Ranch reached a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs to delay the opening of this roadway until August 28th, 2010. However, it doesn’t explain why they failed to initiate the dedication of this roadway to the county until the last minute.
I’ve noticed Goodfellow Brothers/SSFM International’s surveyor subcontractor has been surveying Queen Kaahumanu Highway for the phase II widening project during the past couple days. The HDOT is planning on giving Goodfellow Brothers the design notice to proceed in July for this project. However, the time frame when they’ll give Goodfellow the construction notice to proceed is still unchanged (sometime in October/November).
