    Aloha,

    I understand that you are looking into fixing this road.
    In the 4 years we have lived on this street we have had to
    replace all 4 tires on our car along with the rear break lights.

    This road is like living in a 3rd world country, please do
    whatever you can to fix this rotten road.

    Mahalo,

    Aloha,

    I heard about the budget meeting, but I won’t be able to make it. I just moved to Hui Rd F a few months ago and the potholes have been a burden for sure, they were a factor to losing my wallet since it popped out of my backpack pocket when I went over one while riding my bike. If they were fixed I’m sure everyone on the road would be very appreciative, I know I would. Thanks for your time and help in this matter.

    Best Regards,
    Luke O’Connor

    Aloha Council Member Tamara Paltin

    I am unable to attend the upcoming Budget, Finance, and Economic Development Committee Meeting on March 30, 2023 Lahaina Civic Center; but,
    wish to express deep concerns.
    As a Maui, Hawaii tax payer, I have budgetary concerns requesting your advocacy.
    On March 3, 2022, Yui Lei Sugimuru, Council Member Maui MPO Policy Board Chair (via KITV.com) solicited public feedback to Maui Metropolitan Planning Organization. I emailed public concern on February 27, 2022, to: lauren@mauimpo.org
    Action has not been addressed. Therefore, I request your advocacy to please address:
    Specifically: Hui Road F (Lahaina, 96761) road conditions (extremely large hazardous pot holes).
    My property is located at Napili Ridge, 120 Hui Road F (Unit A12), Lahaina, HI 96761.
    You may wish to take the time to drive or walk-up Hui Road F to observe, with caution, road hazards impacting citizens.
    Hui Road F is in critical need of repair/repaving, there are extremely large pot holes.

    Please be our advocate to promote and budget for the repair/repaving of Hui Road F.
    Thank you in advance,

    Mahalo,

    Aloha councilwoman Paltin,we live in Napili Ridge and as other hundreds of residents and visitor we have to drive that road every single day in and out,several times a day sometimes, it’s almost impassable,potholes,overgrown hedges along the sides of it,we got to avoid people walking on the street for the lack of sidewalk and avoid holes at the same time.
    We got our taxes double.
    Hopefully with amount of taxes collected from the hundred of people that live on that street we will get new pavement and a couple speed bumps.
    I won’t hold my breath tho but thats our hope for the last 20 years….
    Thank you for your time

    I live on Hui F Rd. and I ask that you please allocate funds to resurface this road. It has been neglected for many years now and quite a bit of tax money comes from property owners here, as well as votes. Thank you, Scott Francis. Napili ridge property owner

    Aloha Tamara,

    It is my understanding there is a budget hearing at the Lahaina Civic Center on March 30th.

    I am an owner of a unit at Napili Ridge. I lived there for many years but now it is a long term rental.

    Since 1990 when I purchased my condo there have been problems with the road. Large pot holes all the way and down which slows cars down but it very hard on the tires and suspension of our vehicles.

    Please consider allocating funds for improvements to Hui F. Rd.

    Thank you

    Aloha,
    I heard there is a meeting scheduled on Thursday March 30th to address budget issues. Hopefully, Hui F Rd can be considered for much needed repair.

    I have lived for 12 years here on Hui F Rd, and am a homeowner at Napili Ridge Condos.
    The road has always been hazardous with many potholes, especially reoccurring after rains.
    A lot of both children who walk home from the bus, and elderly live here. You can trip in the potholes, I have.
    The night lighting on the street is poor, and you MUST carry a flashlight to avoid tripping and falling. I’m surprised there has not been a lawsuit yet. Perhaps there has been, but who would be responsible.

    Please consider adding Hui F Rd. to budgetary consideration. I realize to do a full upgrade would require new underground and infrastructure. But, many homeowners pay their property taxes to drive daily on this increasingly dangerous road.
    I have not seen a worse road on the Westside.

    I love my island home, and it would be wonderful, rather than criss crossing up the road avoiding tire popping holes with high beams on….to have a smooth ride to my residence when I come home from work at night.

    Much mahalos,
    Julia McGrath

    Aloha Tamara
    I am an owner at Napili Ridge for nearly 30 years. This our second home which we frequently use (average 100 days/year)
    We have been paying taxes all this time and as of recent paying an extraordinary increase as a TVR even though our unit will never be rented for short or long term use. We take / use very little of the county for what we pay in taxes.

    Hui Rd F road condition is an unsafe. It is riddled with potholes from ~ 300 ft in all the way past Napili Ridge.
    Residents, service trucks, and visitors mauka bound drive on the makai bound side to avoid the potholes.

    With a $1.5 billion budget and all the additional tax Maui County will be collecting as they inflate market property values, it should not be too much to ask the County to take Napili Ridges paid tax dollars to maintain this road.
    Please represent Napili Ridge and the property owners and residents of Hui Rd F in the upcoming and future budget meetings demanding road maintenance for our road.

    Mahalo

    Aloha Tamara

    I live at the end of the street at 200 Hui Rd F. I have 2 vehicles with low profile tires and have gotten 3 flat tires by hitting the potholes and the potholes cut my new low profile tires. This is the worst street on all of West Maui and you know there are a lot of people paying taxes on this road which has 2 large apartment complexes on this street beside all the homes and condos.

    I will be there on March 30th at the Civic Center at 6pm
