Da Shadow: Bus shelters for Southshore, Kealia crosswalk

• Editor’s note: Old-timers might still remember the introduction from “The Shadow” radio program: “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!” Jerome Freitas, a retired state Department of Transportation worker who is now better known as “Da Shadow,” since 2004 has been meeting with government representatives about problems he has discovered or that have been reported to him, and reporting the county’s responses.

Koloa and Po‘ipu bus shelters

When will bus shelters be installed for the Koloa and Po‘ipu areas?

As a part of the Po‘ipu Road Multimodal Improvements project, eight bus shelters are slated to be installed on the Southside. Phase I of the project is estimated to begin in late 2021, while Phase II is estimated to begin in late 2022. The schedule may be subject to change.

Kealia crosswalk

Area near the Kealia post office: There is a county crosswalk installed, but no pedestrian sign posted. Can the county please look into installing a sign for this area?

The Department of Public Works Engineering Division is looking into this request to install a sign or signs in the area.
