All the needs following the Lahaina fire have come and gone, and still nothing has been done to prevent the same disaster from happening again.
There are no escape routes suitable for evacuation. There are no routes suitable for emergency vehicles. They cannot use the same two-lane road at the same time.
Improving the road around North Maui would be a good start. After the fire, I am sure there may have been federal funding available for improving access/regress to and from West Maui.
Just like fire safety laws require more than one fire exit from any building, there should be two viable entry/exits from West Maui.
Let's not wait until the next fire or tsunami to do the job.
