Come on now, the bridge closure will not be too bad.

I read the Advertiser this AM about the Bridge closure and was quite surprised to see (in print anyway) that Mike Lyons sounded pretty ticked off. I've always found him to be a very even keeled guy, kind of mellow. I think when you resurface a bridge that is barely 2 lanes wide, you have close the thing down.

Don't worry Mike, we'll be OK. The tourists will find Haleiwa Joes, the locals won't mind driving up to Weed Circle. Heck, we drive 45 minutes to go to the movies. If it makes you feel any better, the people in Kailua have been dealing with major road construction for more than a year. If the bridge to Lanakai was closed, I am sure the city and county would do double time because that is the only way in and out of that place. To compare that to a minor inconveniece is a bit over the top. Maybe the Advertiser misquoted you?

I for one am happy that is going to get done.

Sidewalks next anyone???
