· A TYPICAL SUNDAY IN THE LIFE OF AMADO YORO [and my wife]-----APRIL 26, 2015. ONE OF THE WORSE TRAFFIC CONGESTIONS I EVER EXPERIENCE IN HAWAII ROAD PARTICULARLY THE KAMEHAMEHA HIGHWAY FROM ANNA MILLER.SUMIDA FARM TO SAM'S CLUB, ABOUT A 2 MILE STRECTH FROM 2PM TO 4PM 2 HOURS A TURTLE PACE MOVEMENT ON TRAFFIC DUE TO CONSTRUCTION.=========SOMEONE MAY PONDER, INCLUDING MYSELF, will this be forever for the next 15 years or so-------related to the construction of the very costly rail system?========Felt some anxiety, stress, time pressure and yet, pressure about the extension of taxes collections for the rail======Way way back the original presentation, everything was seemed OK, in 2006 or 2007 the 0.5% was approved according to some estimation, it should be enough=====what now my love=======the project was behind schedule, yet the budget came out SHORT almost a MILLION?========Traffic, traffic, Can the authority and the responsible contractor/s find a better scheduling------we hope so--------Too bad, I missed some important meeting/s to attend. Rushing from downtown church for Sunday service and meeting-------I really missed the regular monthly Council's Board meeting that was held at the FilComCenter in Waipahu-------what a day, my love------traffic, traffic should have a better solution---------please don't let motorists stalled for many hours in a short span of the road------we hope there is a better way Like · Comment · Share Jessica Macugay Abella, Jay Respicio Sagario, Yvonne Yoro and 14 others like this.

Stay home if you do not a have a MEETING, important meeting to attend. Relax in front of your TV instead, less stress that way-------and by May 2, you will be able to watch Pacquiao's fight-------did you put a bet? 15 hrs · Like John Gines Garcia Yes! Boss! Pacman. ! May be good idea to bring your experience to the city council meeting about hart,,,,, 15 hrs · Like Amado Yoro Delfin Dumayas, ty, I think San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte, mo bera in traffic this time as the construction here is in progress------San Nicolas has good roads as I have seen it in late 2012.....I was able to take a picture of the BIG SAN NICOLAS DAMILI BANGA, able to to to the Robinson Mall-----as we proceeded to the DepEd Diivision office-----in Laoag City Amado Yoro's photo. 15 hrs · Like · 2 Amado Yoro Amado Yoro's photo. 15 hrs · Like · 1 Delfin Dumayas Natrapik ita ti kalsada nga agpa-Laoag, manong Amado Yoro...

And they are working in a plain field now, how much more if they run into buildings, utility lines, plus delays, lucky if they can finish the rail with 10 billion. and they are telling us that we will have a better quality of life then. Sorry to hear about your experience today, hope rail workers are not being paid overtime today, Sus maria josep. 15 hrs · Like · 1 Cheryl Lei Yoro Balcita That's why I think they should just stop the project altogether - it's supposed to help commute but it's causing more stress and problems for everyone. Getting to and from places never took an hour or more growing up, it's gotten worse over the years and will continue to get worse due to this dumb project. 15 years is too long and at what price is it costing us? We are paying for it now, our kids will be paying for it later...RIDICULOUS! Just my opinion! 14 hrs · Like · 1 Amado Yoro I stand corrected about the amount that is short---alll I know is SHORT.Mario Orbito-----IT IS TOO EXPENSVIE------------and it will always be short -----no maparti a baka koma daytoy------just killing a cow------maibus diay darana---------all the blood drains out and the dead body will become stink to dry up---------I hope not; convince me that the cow remains alive though all the blood drained out----then, people will enjoy the kaldo [ride] 14 hrs · Like · 1 Andrea Baptista "I told you so!" ..... I wish the mayor(s), the Honolulu Council(s), the state legislature(s ) the governor(s), the greedy labor unions and all the stupid "dreamers" rooting for the ,rail system listened! I wish ex-Gov. Cayetano and his company had more teeth ans support on the discontinuance of the project.,,,,,,,,,,,, All ye, Pro-rail people are you sure there will be enough revenue to finance YOUR rail? ...... All, ye, public officials who keep pushing for more taxes, when you can't BLEED anymore taxpayers, will you give up your salaries to finance YOUR project- rail? ....... I'm not giving up my SS benefit and pension to your GROSS MIISTAKE. I'll be using ny own car to run around town, not to pay a r ide on YOUR rail, you know! ...... THINK! STOP THE RAIL NOW! Use the standing concrete posts to build BUS ROUTES instead! 14 hrs · Like · 1 Mario Orbito Agree to Manang Andrea, and Cheryl Lei. contractors, labor unions and politicians are in cahoot together in this rail satisfy their greed. Rail will not solve traffic, whoever will gave up their cars? It does not go to schools where we drop our children, to our doctors, and other parts of the island. How many times are we ever fooled? Now more taxes. Wish Ben will try again. 13 hrs · Like Amado Yoro Thanks for the better terminology BLEED in place of drained out Manang Andrea Baptista. There are numbers of columns/posts now standing from Kapolei to Leoku/Farrington Hwy by the Don Quijote store-----driving is also slowed down. My driving time from the Ewa Villages to Waipahu, Fort Weaver Road one lane took me 5-8 minutes to the Oahu Sugar Parking lot in the late 70's or before this rail project, , this time around, for a 4 lanes Fort Weaver Road, may take a 20 to 45 minutes due to congestions toward the H-! freeway, and the Farrington Hwy is narrowed down------what a day, my love, what an experience-----ay sus 13 hrs · Like Amado Yoro Election time is around the corner.And whatever type of election that be, vote out those no good; vote in those who are good 13 hrs · Like John Witeck Traffic sucks due to disjointed construction and I'm afraid it will worsen -- and the fixed rail being built will not improve matters at all. I feel for those who have to daily endure such commutes! Hope you don't have another Sunday like today! 11 hrs · Like Amado Yoro just imagine how traffic can be eased Amado Yoro's photo. 10 hrs · Like Amado Yoro Amado Yoro's photo. 10 hrs · Like Amado Yoro Mr. John Witeck, later, drive either to Kapolei or Waipahu from Wahiawa/Mililani and ride the train, say, 7=15 years from now 10 hrs · Like · 1 Amado Yoro or that years we will not be able to renew our driver license lol 10 hrs · Like John Witeck I doubt that will be convenient for most folks and that the parking will be adequate.
