'Awapuhi Nani Rd 4--Low profile road strips 2022 Project
Complaints were received by neighbors about vehicles speeding near the beginning of Road 4 from the Mauna Kea Drive side of the subdivision. The Board discussed the issue and decided to add low profile road strips to deter speeders and encourage them to "slow down", especially when children are seen playing in the neighborhood.
Mahalo to AEA president Glen B. and neighbor Ross A. for their hard work completing the project. Numerous comments were made on the positive impact this project will have on the community.
Culvert Signs Project 2020
The Aloha Estates Association Board contracted Loeffler Construction in 2017 to install cement barriers to be placed on the side of the road in places that were precariously dangerous to residents and visitors alike who could fall into deep ravines on either side of the road while out for a walk. The barriers were placed on 'Ohia Nani Rd 1, Hapu'u Nani Rd 2 and along the intersection of Na'u Nani Rd 3 and Mauna Loa Drive. The weight of the barriers on the road were a concern and a visual inspection affirmed fears of the possible weakened and deteriorating culverts beneath.
The Board was notified by residents on 'Ohia Nani Rd 1 of the potential hazards on the road under which the culvert was placed decades before to help with water flow during heavy rain events that are common to the area. As a temporary solution, custom signs were ordered from GP Roadway Solutions to warn people of deteriorating culverts on the Volcano end of 'Ohia Nani Rd 1 and at the intersection of Na'u Nani Rd 3 and Mauna Loa Drive. Road 1 residents who live nearby the affected culvert requested "No Trucks Beyond This Point!" signs to deter heavy vehicles from driving over the weakened area. Mahalo to all those involved in this project, especially the Hubners for their diligence and kokua on the matter.
