Hi Everyone,
You might be interested in this agenda item for our area's Neighborhood Board meeting tomorrow night, 7 PM at Aliamanu Middle School's cafeteria:
"Implementation of an afternoon rush-hour contra flow from Center Drive to Aloha Stadium, which would send traffic onto Salt Lake Blvd."
This is very difficult to visualize. Will the traffic flow from Center Drive, left on Kam Hwy, right on Radford Drive, left on Bougainville and left on Salt Lake Blvd.? Whatever, I believe it will cause major problems for Foster Village. Traffic will back up even more so on Bougainville, causing more people to detour through F.V. During afternoon rush hour it is frequently difficult to reach the Moanalua Freeway, or even Aiea for that matter, in less than 20-25 minutes, as the Ewa bound traffic backs up in the right lane on Kahuapaani.
I called KHVH this morning to speak with Rod Haraga, the head of the State Dept. of Transportation Dept. to inquire about this plan. But even though this agenda item was lumped with Puuloa Road, a State project, Salt Lake Blvd. belongs to the City and County.
If this project concerns you, I would suggest you attend the N.B. meeting. It's apparent that it is a fast track item.
Other community matters: It's great to see the shack at SLB and Luapele demolished! The owner's five year building permit for the property across the lane had expired and no progress had been made on it.
The dead trees in the median along our end of SLB will eventually be replaced, but not likely anytime soon - funding, you know. The same culprit that killed Wili Wili trees across the Island also killed them. Lastly, I have pursued the issue of dying vines in the SLB planters, but again, have run up against the same old excuses - lack of personnel, lack of funds, etc.
Aloha.
Janice
