Sales were at a steady 20% Increase from last year till they started Digging up the street (directly across our store) to install an oversized cement slab which is supposed to represent a sidewalk . This work has been going on starting on its FOURTH week for the size of a very small city block. Two days they were rained out but in the process of installing this large cement walkway they have temporarily removed all 11-12 parking spaces directly across the store and will replace it with maybe 8 spaces if we’re lucky. This space also provides parking for a small but well used park. We have always complained about the lack of parking space in the area, but nobody listens!

When this project is all done I will have lost several thousands of dollars in sales, but we will have gained an oversized sidewalk across the street, have left  fewer parking spaces,  created a narrower street with backsides of vehicles sticking out in traffic making it very difficult for our  Lihue station fire trucks and school busses  to have to maneuver around, and now and then please excuse the huge delivery trucks who will be stopping in the middle of the street to deliver their boxes to the stores. 

Please fire the geniuses who created this mess!!  AGAIN!!!!!
