A recent letter from a Kurtistown resident urging repainting of crosswalks is nuthin’ compared to our Third World crosswalks in Waikiki (“Crosswalk lines should be repainted,” Star-Advertiser, April 23).

When I take out-of-town visitors walking on Kalakaua Avenue, I shame! Who’s the mayor of this city? Don’t these hotels pay huge bucks in real property taxes every year? Why wasn’t a major repainting done during the pandemic when Waikiki was a ghost town? Auwe.
