A new adult day care home and expansion of the
Hawaii State Hospital will be on the agenda
when the Kaneohe Neighborhood Board holds its monthly meeting on Thursday,
October 15.
The Board also plans to receive a City-County update
on a dangerous crosswalk and to review a community member’s request to remove a
bus stop.
The meeting will take place in the cafeteria of
Benjamin Parker Elementary School, 45-259 Waikalua Road, starting at 7 p.m.
New adult day care home: The
Board’s business agenda includes discussion of a proposed care facility in a
home at 46-329
Kumoo Loop. The Mizumoto family presented a plan for the facility at the
Board planning meeting on October 6.
State Hospital expansion: The
business agenda also includes discussion of a report
on the expansion issue that was presented in September by a permitted
interaction group of Board members. The report says the hospital and Windward
Community College have plans that compete for the same parcel of land. (For

Dangerous crosswalk: The Honolulu
Department of Transportation Services will have a representative at the meeting
to answer questions about improving pedestrian safety at a crosswalk
on the Kamehameha Highway. The crosswalk, at Pahia Road, has been the site
of four pedestrian deaths in recent years. Improving the crosswalk is a
priority for the Board, which is concerned about delays in the
project.
Bus stop removal: The Board has
set aside time to hear a constituent’s proposal to remove a bus stop near 45-329 Mealele
Street. The constituent says the stop is not needed because two other bus
stops are located in the same stretch of road.
The Neighborhood Board agenda also includes reports by the Honolulu Police and Fire
Departments, Marine Corps Base Hawaii, elected officials and community
organizations. Every meeting also includes agenda time for residents to share
concerns and information with the Board.
