Starting 6 a.m. Thursday, Honolulu police will begin enforcing no-parking rules on the bike lane side of the Lanikai loop 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the city said in a news release Tuesday. Residents have complained for years about traffic and parking problems caused by people flocking to Lanikai Beach.
The Department of Transportation Services said it was trying to give motorists and area residents a chance to plan ahead and remove all vehicles from the bike lane side of the loop along Aalapapa and Mokulua drives.
Missing inmate turns himself in on Big Island
Hawaii island inmate Michael Joyce turned himself in to police Monday night and was returned to the Hawaii Community Correctional Center.
Joyce, who was serving time for second-degree assault, failed to report to the Hilo facility for his scheduled check-in April 6.
He is classified as “community custody,” which is the lowest custody level. His next parole hearing was scheduled for June.
Joyce was in the extended-furlough program and lived and worked outside of the facility but must check in at various times throughout the month.
