One gate at a time...
Our long term goal is to have the State and counties enact stronger laws to improve public beach access. But short term, we're hoping that our neighbors on private and public streets with gates will voluntarily follow the lead of homeowners on Kai Nani Place in Kailua, who are leaving their gate unlocked.
We owe our sincere thanks to them and Rep. Cynthia Thielen, who lives on that street, for doing what they believe is the right thing for our community. Now it's up to us to show them we respect their concerns by helping keep that street free of litter, noise and vandalism. If you see anyone abusing the courtesy they have extended to us, please report it immediately and notify the residents.
Let's set an example for the other gated road homeowners that a little aloha goes a long way! Mahalo to our friends on Kai Nani. One gate is open... but many more remain locked all over the island.
