Letter: Divert portion of HART funds to traffic problem
So, the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation wants its share of $1 billion from state revenues. And now the director’s salary will be $350,000 a year, when I thought $113,000 was an overreach.
All for a 20-mile train to nowhere. It doesn’t even help Central Oahu.
Where is our train station? If we peeled off $100,000 from the $1 billion, we could open up a Satellite City Hall (or even a Mini City Hall, as my senator suggested) in Mililani and keep the elderly off the dangerous road to Wahiawa, where they have to search for parking.
Koa Ridge made the situation worse. Waipio is a long way from Wahiawa. Maybe we can put those elders into Pearl City traffic instead?
When will we focus some resources on the people who pay the bills?
