Hotel Expansion - North Shore roads are already inadequate

Fortunately, there were no injuries or lives lost from Saturday's rockslide at Waimea Bay.

However, combined with the continued erosion of this nearly century-old two-lane highway, its partial closures during high surf and the almost daily bumper-to-bumper traffic, it clearly demonstrates that the roads on the North Shore are inadequate to handle even the current traffic load.

Given this reality, Turtle Bay Resort's planned expansion defies common sense.
We need to seriously examine the wisdom of allowing this project to proceed unchecked, especially considering its impact on the North Shore.
