Here we go again, the borderline incompetent Honolulu Department of Transportation Services has finally decided to form a group to study e-bikes long after it’s been a problem for years. What is wrong with our government? How do the same officials get elected over and over with such little oversight or performance review?

Homelessness, overbuilding, roosters, monster homes, noise enforcement and now e-bikes. Our city doesn’t begin to address these issues until they’ve been problems for years.

The DTS and Director Roger Morton, in particular, have shown remarkable ineptitude. While the rail debacle speaks for itself, there is also a lack of timed lights and green thoroughfares, standard in cities half our size. Meanwhile, Oahu citizens sit at red lights, one empty intersection after another.

The lack of resolution regarding e-bikes is almost predictable, but the lack of enforcement is absolutely predictable. We deserve better.
