Oceanic Time Warner Cable has slightly delayed the availability of Road Runner Extreme (30Mbps/5Mbps) and speed increases to the Standard and Turbo Tiers (from 5Mbps to 10Mbps and 8Mbps to 15Mbps) until August 15th (This applies to Big Island customers only).
I upgraded my Road Runner service to the Turbo tier (Currently 8Mbps/1Mbps-soon 15Mbps/1Mbps) in preparation for this upgrade on Friday.
The manager overseeing the La’aloa Avenue Extension project e-mailed me this update:
“The project is still at the property acquisition stage. The Land Management and Corporation Counsel is working with the property owners to seek an agreement.”
I’ve reviewed the newest Saddle Road bid solicitation. The solicitation is broken down into three sub components:
Schedule A: The earthwork for the first 3.9 miles (out of ten miles) would be completed
Schedule B: The earthwork for the first 6.0 miles would be completed
Option X: Option X would complete the earthwork for the balance of the project (if the CFLHD/HDOT is able to secure the additional funding within 180 days from contract award)
I asked the CFLHD where construction may begin. The winning contractor will have the discretion where to start. However, it is likely they’ll begin up by m.m 41 and head makai.
Lastly, the county still expects to advertise the Kaiminani Drive reconstruction project in late 2011.
