As reported in the Honolulu StarAdvertiser, Mayor Kirk Caldwell and other city leaders Monday urged unprecedented spending to repave the city’s most damaged and degraded streets through the next five years. The $150 million Caldwell and the City Council propose for street repaving next fiscal year would almost double what the city spent for such repairs last year. It would also far outpace the meager $6 million or so the city spent in 2002, by comparison, according to Councilman Stanley Chang.
