HomeMy WebLinkAboutCOM 0941.003 2016-2018I am in favor of the amendments to Bill 154 because it FINALLY includes allowing abandoned vehicles to be removed from private roads, like Ocean View. Ocean View has become a dumping ground for AV. The vehicle I write about below is STILL sitting on the roadway less than one block from my house. One month has already gone by. It is a miracle that the AV has not been torched as that creates another health and safety issue. We have a BIG SAFETY issue in HOVE (Hawaiian Ocean View Estates) and it is NOT being addressed in a timely manner. The issue is Abandoned Vehicles (AV) that sit on or near the roadway. On 4-12-18, 1 called the non -emergency police telephone line to report an AV close to my home. An officer came out, made his report and the report was sent to Environmental Management on 4-17-18. 1 called them to confirm that EM had the report (which they did.) However, Tiffany from the EM office informed me that they were no longer towing vehicles from private roads. This is wrong! Our roads are privately funded but they are open to the public and the police. We pay the fee when registering our vehicles that goes into the Vehicle Disposal Fund. It currently has over three million dollars in it for this purpose. The vehicle I reported is still sitting encroaching on the roadway creating a safety issue. We are grateful it has not been torched as that would be an additional issue for the environment. The abandoned vehicles are piling up and this is NOT acceptable. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Linda Schutt 808/939-9042 rye .N® Ref.
