Kokua Line – September 12, 2013
Question: I notice that the contractor doing repaving work in the Kailua residential area has been resurfacing entry roads owned by private homes. These are not government roadways, but private roads serving only six to eight homes. Who is paying for work on those roadways? Are our tax dollars being used?
Answer: Tax dollars are being used to repave private roadways. But there’s nothing underhanded or illegal about it. It’s allowed by law, under certain conditions, said Chris Takashige, director of the city Department of Design and Construction.
