Kokua Line: Why was left-turn lane painted over in Hawaii Kai?
A resident is questioning the state or city's decision to paint over a dedicated left-turn lane on Lunalilo Home Road, which now forces drivers to block traffic to make turns.
Question: The state or city recently painted yellow lines over a dedicated left-turn lane from Lunalilo Home Road to Kaumakani Street headed toward Kaiser High School. Now to make a left turn one would have to wait in the lane and block traffic heading north. I don’t understand the thinking. If you could clarify the justification it would be appreciated.
