TRANSPORTATION DISCUSSION: Meet State & County transportation officials and discuss West Maui transportation issues and solutions.In addition to the obvious concerns of West Maui regarding traffic and lack of infrastructure for impending projects we received this Action Alert on roadside spraying:
ACTION ALERT (via Gretchen Losano) : On Friday Autumn Rae Ness and I had a meeting with the Dept of Transportation regarding their potential use of roundup on our highways again, after 3 years of toxic free highway maintenance. Unfortunately, the people in charge of that decision are not convinced of the toxicity of glyphosate-based products ("if it's so toxic, why is is still on the market?") 😳 While there were several other options discussed they couldn't commit to even exploring any of them...needless to say we left the meeting feeing very frustrated and disappointed. Right now they have 20 cases of Roundup (which they think is "a very small amount") in house, and more on the way.
We requested a follow-up meeting in a couple of weeks to discuss the other potential options again in more detail, and we are hoping they will grant us that not-yet-scheduled meeting. Between now and then, Maui, we need your help. PLEASE CALL the Dept of Transportation and NICELY AND POLITELY let them know how you feel about their potential use of Roundup again...because right now they don't know how many of the people who pay their salaries are against this. They seem to think it is a viable solution and we need to remind them that IT IS NOT. Please call (808) 873-3535 and and ask to send a message or speak to Robin, or email : Dot...@hawaii.gov
We also have an opportunity to show up and voice our concerns about this IN PERSON on Tuesday at the West Maui Senior Center from 5 to 7:30 during the open meeting with our Transportation representatives from both Maui County and State
