The budget needs some way to deal with the homeless people loitering and camping out in the areas around St.Theresa’s Church due to their meal service. They are blocking the sidewalks with debris and their bodies causing fear among the residents and making it unsafe and unhygienic conditions. The recipients of the meals must be allowed to stay on St.Theresa property at all times instead of loitering day and night in the neighborhood surrounding the church while waiting for the meals. The meal service could be provided at various alternate locations such as other churches or community meeting places. Meal service at the church every night has become a huge problem for the neighborhood. The Times Market has lost customers due to the fear and disturbance of the loiterers. There is a Change.Org petiition about this problem “St.Theresa Church Must Fix Loitering Due to Meal Service”.
Aloha auinala kākou, I’m unable to make the meeting this evening but if someone could convey my message I would appreciate it. I’d like to see all of our pedestrian crosswalks painting with fresh paint in Kihei and have the blinking lights installed like we have on our newer ones. At dusk a lot of folks are walking back mauka from the makai side of S. Kihei Rd. and it’s very hard to see them. I feel like this is an easy way to prevent accidents with pedestrians. Adding sidewalk from Mcdonald’s to Maui Sunset would help tremendously.
Also need to widen Pi’ilani Hwy to four lanes. During the tsunami evacuation thousands of folks were stuck trying to evacuate. mahalo
