It is really that simple. Or take a cane knife to these illegal plantings and physically remove them yourself! What are they going to do, arrest you for taking back what belongs to the public? It was done in Poipu, it can be done on the North Shore. <br /><br />Don't pretend this concrete path is NOT to benefit the tourist dollar! Preserve access? Why do we need access through lo'i?

Some easements already exist, but the legal paperwork needs to be completed to record them. Other "lost" accesses could be obtained through eminent domain, as the county is considering right now to get a section for the Path in Waipouli. <br /><br />So it's not naive to think we could regain some of the accesses that have been closed.<br /><br />I'm sure if Ben, Tommy and the Path folks could figure out a way to make money off regaining our accesses, they'd be working on it. Instead, they're pretending like the Path is our salvation and I'm calling bullshit on that one, especially on the North Shore, where in so many places it would parallel existing roads.Joan Conrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172330100788007499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-2785048918787020122012-05-23T13:52:17.191-10:002012-05-23T13:52:17.191-10:00Joan sometimes I believe you must be naive.
