I can’t agree more with the letter from Susanna Glanz bemoaning the weeds and graffiti plaguing Oahu and turning it into a Third World wannabe (“Graffiti, grime, weeds mar beauty of island,” Star-Advertiser, July 17). I’d also like to point out the trash that is all over our highways.
I travel frequently and on my way home from the airport it is typical to see piles of trash all along the sides of the freeway. Additionally, the landscaping along the highways is pathetic: Not only are the weeds taking over but the landscape plants that were healthy have deteriorated and even died.
What is the matter with us that we tolerate such eyesores? Please, Gov. Green, can you get your Department of Transportation to deal with this and restore pride in our community by keeping it clean and planting lovely tropical plants for our residents and visitors to appreciate when they spend their hard-earned dollars to visit our state?
