Waipio road bill discussed, postponed
A discussion by Hawaii County Council members about the possibility of closing Waipio Valley Road to pedestrians was impassioned but inconclusive Thursday.
During Thursday’s meeting of the Committee on Public Works and Mass Transit, outgoing Hamakua Councilwoman Valerie Poindexter presented a bill to close pedestrian access to the very steep, one-lane road into Waipio Valley for safety reasons, but also postponed decision making on the motion in order to prolong the discussion into future meetings.
