Road and Highway Builders LLC has made significant progress reconstructing Saddle Road between m.m 11 and m.m 19. The entire project should be graded by late March/early April 2011. In addition, RHB is slated to resume paving in early February.
RHB is expecting a mid-2011 opening of this newly reconstructed roadway (cleanup, installation of signage and roadway striping will continue after the opening).
Nan Inc. likely won’t start paving the first segment of the Ane Keohokalole Highway (between Kealakehe High School and the Henry Street/Palani Road intersection) by the end of the year.
They are looking at paving all three roadway segments at once (Kealakehe Parkway to Kealakehe High School, Kealakehe High School to Palani Road/Henry Street intersection, and Palani Road/Henry Street intersection to Queen Kaahumanu Highway). The exact schedule hasn’t been formulated yet. However, I’ll follow-up with the contractor in early 2011.
The State LUC sent me a O’oma Beachside Village‘s recent petition. They want the LUC to reconsider reclassifying O’oma from conservation to urban.
Lastly, the DLNR Office of Conservation and Coastal Lands has scheduled two public hearings regarding the Thirty Meter Telescope‘s conservation district use application.
