NORTH SHORE -- Pupukea Road on the North Shore will be undergoing work this winter when the City and County of Honolulu begins the Pupukea Rock Fall Mitigation Project later this year. A net-like drapery will be installed over the loose rocks that line the road as a rocky wall, and a fence will be installed to prevent larger boulders from falling onto the steep and winding road, and further down into the residential area below.

    A leaf blower ban? Really? I’m all for legislating how much noise people can make, don’t get me wrong. I’ve been an amplified professional with wicked tinnitus for just about the entirety of my adult life, and I appreciate the incalculable value of people being quiet. But leaf blowers? If we’re going to specify aural nuisances, then let’s at least be thorough.
