Haʻikū Community Association to hear from mayoral candidates

Update:

Tonight’s HCA public meeting (July 29) was scheduled well in advance to be a Mayor’s Candidate Forum, with updates on speed tables. 

“We fully understand the subject of speed tables is a priority to the public and because of the overwhelming community interest in speed tables, a new community meeting has been added on Aug. 26 so there will be ample time for updates, public questions and community input. This meeting was created specifically because we heard your concerns and want to ensure the topic received the time and attention it deserves,” HCA organizers said.

“Both meetings are important and each serves a different purpose,” according to the HCA. Tonight’s Mayor’s Candidate Forum gives the community the opportunity to hear directly from each candidate before the election, while the dedicated Speed Tables Meeting provides the time needed for updates, public questions, and meaningful community discussion. “By holding separate meetings, each receives the attention it deserves. Candidates will be asked their stance on the community concerns regarding ‘speed tables.'”

Tonight’s meeting (July 29) remains a Mayor’s Candidate Forum, and community advocate Gregg Blue will provide a brief update on recent developments on speed tables.

A designated Speed Tables Community Meeting will take place on Aug. 26, from 6:30–8:30 p.m. at the Haʻikū Community Center. Representatives from the Mayor’s Office, County Public Works, State Highways, and community representatives will be there to provide updates, answer questions, and hear directly from the community.
