Traffic has significantly increased on Palani Road since Nan removed the left turn lane at the Henry Street intersection on Tuesday. There is simply not enough room to include a left turn here until they complete the water line connection on the right side of the roadway.
The county’s project manager, who is overseeing construction of this roadway, he’d look into possible solutions, which include asking Nan to expedite the completion of the water line connection, to mitigate this issue.
Nan’s project manager suggested drivers use alternative routes, such as Hina-Lani or Manawalea Streets.

Construction on the new Pier One Imports store has begun. Tinguely Development is renovating the old Ross Dress For Less space at Kona Coast Shopping Center.
Councilman Dominic Yagong recently announced his candidacy for Hawaii County Mayor. Mayor Kenoi has astutely guided Hawaii County over the past three years, so he has my vote for mayor. I have serious doubts about Councilman Yagong’s ability to run this county effectively.
Lastly, the new Saddle Road Nene fencing between m.m 29 and m.m 30.1 should be completed by next week.
