PROGRESS REPORT

Roads in Eden Roc present an ongoing challenge, as there never seems to be enough gravel to go around. Last month almost 45 tons were spread on roads 14, 19, 21, side of Ohia and the side of South Kopua road. Abandoned vehicles were removed from roads 8 and 12 and several were tagged which will be removed shortly.

Potholes all the way around the subdivision were filled at least once and more as needed and weather permitted.
In an effort to expediently and safely mow the sides of the road easements, an ad was placed in the Hilo newspaper (Tribune Herald) and there were at least fourteen responses and six interviews. We have about 37 miles of roadsides that need mowing just as quickly as possible and that task should commence within the next couple of weeks.

Rubbish was removed from roads 8, 12, 17,19,21,26, and Ohia. On that note we would like to invite everyone who can participate to join us at the park on 8th at 10:00a.m. May 5th for a “Clean the Roc” day. Hotdogs and sodas will be provided for participants and we look forward to meeting some of our neighbors. Obviously this is contingent upon the weather so if it is just pouring down rain, we’ll try it again the next Saturday – rubbish bags will be provided. I am trying to get a roll-off bin out here as a way to help hopefully cut down on the roadside litter as this is both an eyesore and seemingly ever-
present problem. It would be greatly helpful if everyone would keep things picked up around their lot(s) and mow alongside your property that skirts the roads. If everyone would do what they can to help the neighborhood we could spend what little money we have getting our roads in better shape. Volunteers to help spread gravel, fill potholes, etc. are ALWAYS needed and appreciated! If you would like to help or have a road or coqui frog problem please leave a message at the neighborhood phone line 968-8484.

Also, for the next two months we will have four loads of gravel brought in per month rather than the normal two loads per month. I will post the day and time just as soon as I know so that those who are interested may participate and advise as needed.

Mahalo for your time and lets all work together to make our little piece of paradise the best that it can be. Aloha,
Pam Jones
