Can anything be done about autos waiting to park at Jamba Juice/ Starbucks Kapahulu store?
Parking is usually full and people insist on waiting for space to open up even if it means blocking the sidewalk and Mo’oheau Street. Oftentimes it overflows into the Kapahulu/Date Street intersection, creating a hazard for pedestrians and other drivers and at times stopping traffic flow. A. To regular readers of this column, the following may sound like a broken record. But Capt. Jose Gaytan of the Honolulu Police Department’s Traffic Division again recommends his two-step approach to this kind of problem. • When you see violations occurring, call 911. • If it’s “a chronic and protracted problem,” Gaytan said, you should “contact the district in charge, in this case District 7, ask for the captain and explain the problem.” The district will assign someone to analyze and “try to work out a plan to remedy” the problem. “If it’s a safety issue, they can’t ignore it.” In this case, they may try to find personnel to monitor the situation. The number for Honolulu patrol District 7 is 529-33
