30 Kapolei Residents and Advocates Hungry for Safe Streets Solutions

Kapolei is hungry to find solutions for safe streets! Residents, resident associations, government agencies and nonprofits came together to generate ideas to make streets safe and welcoming for people who live in Kapolei.
Suggestions ranged from pedestrian crossing flags, better lighting and rapid flashing beacons, redesigning and right-sizing streets with roundabouts to calm traffic and increase safety for people who drive/bike/walk, better awareness signage and road markings, red light cameras, safe routes to school grants, more HPD enforcement, cutting tree branches that obscure lighting, and speed-reducing rumble strips/speed tables/speed humps. These suggestions will be explored and some implemented by a committee composed of community and agency stakeholders.

Home Schaedel of Malu’ōhai Homestead spoke about the need to protect children and elderly adults in Kapolei.
Lei Osorio and child came to advocate for safe neighborhoods for all.
Mark Miyaguchi, Vice-Principal of Kapolei Elementary urged involving Kapolei Elementary, Middle and High Schools in solutions.
30 people came to the site where 70-year old Guillerma Balanza was killed while walking in a marked crosswalk at 5 a.m. on May 1, 2017.
In attendance were 30 representatives of Villages of Kapolei residents, Association staff, Kapolei Neighborhood Board, Kapolei Elementary, Malu’ōhai Homestead, Honolulu Police Department, Honolulu Fire Department, Hawaii Housing Finance & Development Corporation, city Department of Transportation Services, Department of Health, Queen’s Trauma Center, Nanakuli-Maili Neighborhood Board, Blue Zones Project, Offices of Representative Sharon Har and Senator Mike Gabbard, and the Hawaii Bicycling League.
The Solutions Meeting was called by the Hawaii Bicycling League, www.hbl.org, which holds such Meetings when people who walk or bike are killed or seriously injured to find education, enforcement, and engineering solutions to prevent future tregedies. HBL’s vision is to have zero deaths on our streets so people can feel safe and comfortable to walk, run, bike and actively move about for health, recreation and transportation.

The next Solutions Meeting will be in Nanakuli on Saturday, April 15, 2017, at the site where cyclist Aitnes Kenan was killed on February 16, 2017 at about 5 a.m. Please check www.hbl.org or call 735-5756  for updates. Previous Solutions Meetings in Nanakuli/Waianae, Kailua, Kaneohe, and Pearl City have resulted in education, enforcement, and engineering changes to reduce traffic collisions and injuries.

Judge sentences 2014 Haleiwa Metric assaulter

Update: The Judge sentenced Chevis Santiago to 5 years maximum indeterminate sentence. Seems like he is trying to turn himself around. He wrote letters of apology to the victims. His grandparents, uncles, girlfriend and baby daughter were present. He publicly apologized in court.

The prosecutor and HBL asked for prison time because his history of drug abuse and violence cannot be corrected merely by saying sorry. Indeed he has continued to violate the law, including serious and dangerous behaviors. Whether a person is angry and takes it out on bicyclists on the road, or is impaired and crashes into people on the road, the person is a danger.

We hope he will change his life, and become the good person who helps others as he was raised to be. We wish him well in his journey to a better life.

(HBL represents 1859 cyclist-members, young and old, who just want to be safe on the road from violence or from bad drivers. Heeding Kamehameha’s law of the splintered paddle, the strong should protect the weak, especially when driving a car that can be a dangerous weapon if driven badly. )

(background):

Chevis Santiago, who assaulted and injured six people (4 bicyclists and 2 course marshals) at the Haleiwa Metric Century in April, 2014, will be sentenced to up to 5 years in prison tomorrow morning, Tuesday, 2/14/17 at 8:30 a.m. in Honolulu Circuit Court, 777 Punchbowl Street, 3rd floor, Judge Trader’s courtroom.

Witnesses saw Santiago and others drinking beer while driving before stopping to assault 4 defenseless bicyclists on their bikes and 2 course marshals who came to their aid in an unprovoked attack. He kicked and punched all of them, bloodying one elderly cyclist’s face, causing permanent eye injury to one course marshal, and broke the left heel of a course marshal (felony assault).

Please come to court for the sentencing if you can to show support for the bicyclists and course marshals, and against the defendant’s unacceptable behavior.
