HAH<br />I know him better than you, I can guarantee it. I think anyone who supports this Filipino is an absolute FOOL. <br />A decade or so, there was a homeless man named Jeffrey, who lived at the traffic light at Wailua Beach. He did a good job cleaned his little area, swept it with palm fronds and picked up the litter. This is basically what Alalem is - a homeless squatter who weedeats and mows that area and has hung out there for so long that someone gave him a key to the gate.

Run it like a raised boardwalk right through the golf course, down between 1st and 9th fairways, and 2nd and 8th, and cut back behind #3. Would need some netting for protection, but at least that way the non-golfer crowd could enjoy the scenery and the birds too and the golf course would not be so much of a subsidized special privilege, and the path would be well off the beach. Some of the golfers might grumble but it would not affect all the holes and maybe even that restaurant could turn someone a profit if the path passed right in front.

Just wait until you see what they come up with for the golf course... so far a 30' high fence and under-grounding are two of the better ideas. And Moody (does he still own it) isn't exactly going to give us the Hanama`ulu shoreline without resort zoning in exchange. But whatever the administration does you can bet the council will eventually tell us "there's nothing we can do"... after they give up their right to do anything...

And if Andy is correct, we are locked into this path all the way to Nawiliwili no matter what is said and done at this point. Which explains why Noyes is so dead set on moving ahead as is including Joann and Tim. And is that why the county settled on the land deal with the Lagoons to accomodate the path by the airport?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-24891219210452731502012-12-01T17:44:19.676-10:002012-12-01T17:44:19.676-10:00The Wailua segment as proposed makes no sense to m...The Wailua segment as proposed makes no sense to me. But the multiple picnic shelters at Kealia actually does make sense to me, because there is little shade along the path, and some folks do need a rest spot where they can sit a spell.

So if they don't connect the two segments the county might have to pay back the $60 million (Ooooo- watch the trolls come out to dispute this again). Oh and by the way- when this segment came before the council for funding approval they got the administration to say that if the council approved the funding, the administration would come back to the council for a sign-off on the final plan. But surprise, surprise- exactly as happened the other half-dozen times with the other segments (including the boondoggle to get the Safeway-Foodland Bridge built with bike path money), after the council released the money the administration went right ahead and did whatever they wanted and the council then claimed there was "nothing we can do about it."Andy Parxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15398587036690312685noreply@blogger.com
