Get ready for a full-on traffic mess explosion

Well, just months since the new charter school has opened in the tech park the traffic nightmare has started. About 2 p.m., it starts with traffic backing up way before Safeway, down Lipoa and around the round — about with 25 to 20 cars stacked up each way waiting to get in. I thought, ‘Oh well, I’ll go down South Kihei Road and miss the mess,’ but the traffic was backed up in both directions from construction on South Kihei Road!

And now we have the new high school coming up and we better get ready for a full-on traffic mess explosion! How do they plan on getting the students across the highway, or are they going to wait until it’s so bad that we have people upset and have road rage? I am just totally appalled at the stupidity of our county officials to plan ahead for problems instead of waiting until it too late and Band-Aids are applied.

I’ve been many places in the Mainland and seen it done right but for anything they do in a month it takes us a year to try and figure it out!
