Were you aware that Kaneohe Ranch is behind the influx of all those large motorcoaches we've seen meandering through our residential streets? We see them on Mokapu Boulevard, Oneawa Street, Kalāheo Avenue, throughout Kailua Town and Lanikai. We see them squeezing through the Macy's/Long's parking lot, and Kailua Beach parking lots where they can be found reversing and parking in public AUTOMOBILE parking spaces; thereby forcing all of us off the road to manuver around the protruding behemoths.
We love and appreciate our tourists! And we continue to welcome them on our CITY BUSES. This is revenue for our government. It is WRONG that a private entity as Kaneohe Ranch -- motivated by MONEY can wreak so much havoc in our community. We've had ENOUGH of Kaneohe Ranch!
Alas, Kaneohe Ranch is turning Kailua into a "mini-Waikīkī" tourist shopping destination -- that's why the increase from SIX to now EIGHT Waikīkī motorcoaches descending on our hometown EACH DAY!
Its time to STAND UP and FIGHT BACK. Traffic backups, vehicular accidents, and pedestrian safety is compromised. We say "Stop this NOW!"
Here are a couple photos of some tour buses (below) parking across multiple public automobile spaces. This may work now, but with Whole Foods and all the other commercial development in the works, WHERE WILL THESE LARGE TOUR BUSES PARK? What is Kaneohe Ranch planning next? Kailua certainly does NOT NEED or WANT a Bus Transit Station! (re: City's presentation at a recent Kailua Neighborhood Board meeting)
and look... one of the many tour VANS found around Kailua Town:
