Malu Road
There is a steep drop-off along Malu Road right above the county’s greenwaste collection area. What are the plans to improve the safety in this particular area? Would it be feasible to install guardrails near this steep drop-off?
The County of Kauai is in the planning phase of this project. In the meantime, the County of Kauai is evaluating temporary measures to improve safety.
5326 Kula Mau‘u Street
On Dec. 1, 2015, the county Department of Public Works sent a road-permit violation letter requesting the removal of an illegal rock wall that extends into the county’s right-of-way and to restore the grassed shoulder. To date, this remedial action has not occurred. What is the status of this effort?
The County of Kauai is awaiting the results of a formal survey to determine the boundary the object is on.
