I am sorry it took another serious landslide to consider a long-term fix to the Pali tunnel area. I hope it doesn’t happen again, but I am glad the state is there now, and not just to clean up. My prayers go out for the quick recovery of the mother injured in the slide.

Along with the continuous saga of landslides, Windward residents have been dealing with the nighttime closure of the Pali to repair and improve the highway, which is definitely needed.

Residents have been advised that the work can only be done at night to allow morning and afternoon commutes. These repairs are slated to go on for two years, with nightly closures one way and then the other.

What about using this time, while they have the Pali closed to work on the landslides, to use some of those daylight hours to continue the total highway repair? It would seem a good use of resources and daylight to shorten the overall project and save money, too.
