Maui Discussion

Instead of patching all the potholes on Hansen Road every other month (by the sugar cane mill), could ya please find the heart and funds to have it paved, please?

Recently I visited the wildlife refuge and Hawaiian cultural site in Waihee. Where I parked, people were enjoying themselves and a few were hitting golf balls into the ocean. Later, I saw dozens of golf balls washed in by the tide along the shore. I’d like to know, is hitting golf balls into the ocean legal?

Why is the Kula Forest Reserve / Polipoli still closed? There has been ample time for cleanup and repair. I realize Polipoli is not a money-maker for the County, but it is one of the best places on the island and is about the only truly public hunting area on the island

I know a smoking ban was passed on Maui and I’m wondering when that is going to be enforced?

I’m sad to see the 3-Can Plan going away in my neighborhood. What does the County plan to do with the green waste and recycling containers? If they are going to trash them, can citizens keep these to use on their own?

Are there any restrictions on transporting kayaks on one’s car or truck? I’ve seen some cars that have a kayak that extends at least 5 feet in both the front and rear of the vehicle.

My question is in regards to the attached road sign, located on Keolani Place airport access road. The sign is located just at the airport exit, opposite Hemoloa Street. The sign has been vandalized for a number of years now, and has not been repaired or replaced. Can the County replace or repair the sign?

I recently received a ticket for wearing my seatbelt shoulder strap under my armpit. The ticket has no box to check, other than “No seatbelt.” Should I have been fined? From what I have read in the rules of the road book, no law is stated.

Why are the Hookipa Beach Park bathrooms still closed? They’ve been closed since June 2014. Hookipa was voted third-most visited place, behind the crater and the road to Hana! C’mon Mayor! Give Hookipa our bathrooms back

My trash did not get picked up today, and I’m wondering if we are eligible for a reimbursement for these missed pickups? This is a service I paid for, like my cable and electric bills, so can’t I get a refund when they don’t pick up my rubbish?

I know that Maui has banned plastic bags in the stores but, I’ve noticed lately that one large, Hawaii-based supermarket chain has been using them. They are reusable, but I don’t know if they are biodegradable. Can you please look into this?

Will Maui County try to enforce its laws and regulations for car services on this notoriously troubled company?

Are these survey teams a sign that improvements might be coming to Puukolii?

I’ve noticed that there is a lot of drunk driving on the island. I know of two drunk driving accidents involving people I know. They were drunk and driving their vehicles home when they got into an accident.

I want to build a house on my family property, but it’s located in a flood zone. How do I get any needed permits to build in a flood zone?

If the renovations of the restrooms at Honokowai Beach Park are completed, why aren’t the bathrooms open already?

If the County of Maui is adamant about everybody’s seatbelt use, why does the county allow passengers to ride in the open beds of trucks?

Kokomo has not had any major restoration for over 10 years while Hāna Highway seems to have an annual repaving whether it needs it or not.

Am I correct that hotels are not allowed to set up umbrellas and lounge chairs on our public beaches in advance of a guest request?

My neighbors don’t live on Maui, but it seems like their house is always full of short-term tenants.
