Maui Discussion

Half of the public lights at the crossroad between Baldwin Avenue and Makawao Avenue in Makawao are off. Who is responsible for changing light bulbs in the light fixtures along public streets?

Was a proper county permit approved and obtained for the recent construction of a chain link fence with barbed wire and a plywood structure inside the fence at the Kahoʻolawe Island Reserve Commission’s property located in the 2900 block of South Kīhei Road?

Over a year ago, Hololani Street in Pukalani was partially paved and speed bumps were installed. However, the project appeared to have run out of money halfway through and signs were installed reading “BUMP” where there are none, with half the road still unpaved.

Does a marijuana dispensary need to be registered with the county?

I’ve been seeing a lot more people driving with their headlights off at dusk when the sun sets. What does the law require when driving without headlights?

Why is the speed limit going up Haleakalā Highway 55 mph all the way up to Haliʻimaile and going down it is 45 mph?

Why is it that so many of the “Ask the Mayor” questions are about state issues and projects? Shouldn’t you stick to answering county-related topics?

I would really like to have a paved walkway along the perimeter of the park on Shaw Street in Lahaina. It would be nice to have a safe place for families to get exercise.

I saw the electric signs warning folks of the nighttime work being done around the Piʻilani Highway-Ohukai Road intersection. Why on Earth would there be nighttime work in a crowded residential area?

Why does Pukalani only have one county bus stop? We are a community of over 7,500 residents, some of whom have to walk approximately two miles to reach the nearest county bus stop.

Can someone register a cat colony in a residential area? If so, what is the limit on the number of cats, and what (if any) can the neighbors do to prevent them from invading their property (yards, garages, vehicles, etc.)?

Why have we not built a desalination plant on Maui? The increase in the economic flow would most likely make up for the cost in a few years. Israel is so far ahead of us in that. So are several other countries. Water, water, everywhere….

Why are they repaving Mokulele Highway when it seemed to be in good driving condition before? There seem to be many other Maui roads that need resurfacing more than this one.

While it’s troubling that HSTA’s administration failed to run a glitch-free election, I am prepared to accept the possibility that those technical problems called the legitimacy of a fair vote into question, said Doug Robertson, a former Hawaiʻi teacher and former HSTA member.

When will the Kahului Airport Bypass Road be completed? Phase 1 and Phase 2?

Kaupakalua Road has become very unsafe, with drivers on the opposite side of the road to avoid the potholes.

How can the public participate in remembering our war heroes through the annual “Blossoms for the Brave” community lei-making event?

Who will pick up trash in Pāʻia now that Benny has retired, and when can more trash cans be installed in town?

I’m an avid bus rider and many of my fellow passengers are circling the drain financially. Any fare increases would only dig the hole further. What is the latest on the proposed fare hikes?

Because Hansen Road is closed and the connector road is not finished yet, Hoʻokele gets supremely backed up when trying to turn left onto Mokulele. Can the intersection be modified to have two lanes turning left, instead of one?
