It’s come to my conclusion they are confusing unity with uniformity and are erasing their individualism. This year, a cord was physically taken back from my daughter due to them being banned so the students who didn’t take extra classes or put in extra hours of studying don’t feel less accomplished as those who put in blood, sweat and tears to earn them. Last year, the students were unable to identify themselves by gender by removing white cap and gowns and making all students wear blue. Rob Shapiro, Kīhei Individualism shouldn’t be erased at Maui High School graduation How this was passed so that construction could begin now is a complete head-scratcher! Based on history alone, this ill-conceived design is going to experience a ton of problems including pedestrians getting hit, accidents in and around the turnabout and congestion before/after school like Kīhei has never seen before.Īgain, I repeat, the stupidity is astounding. And - GASP - it further demonstrates pure lunacy by having students actually cross the highway instead of “walking over the highway.” Whatever metrics, studies, research or anything else used to justify a turnabout on a fast highway (and reducing the posted speed limit does nothing to deter fast moving traffic) is incredibly dumb. Only an idiot could have possibly conceived such a monstrosity. The new Kīhei turnabout is a disaster waiting to happen. Troy Brown, Wailuku Roundabout under construction on Piʻilani Highway is “disaster waiting to happen” I have a chronic bad back and these bumps are dangerous for my health.
