Idaho, USA. Ma hope o ka make ʻana o kāna kaikamahine i ka wā i hāʻule ai kahi kaʻa i loko o kahi kiaʻi i ka makahiki 2016, ua hana ʻo Steve Amers i kāna misionari e hoʻohanohano i kāna hoʻomanaʻo ma ka ʻimi ʻana i nā guardrails ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ma lalo o ke kaomi ʻana mai Ames, ua ʻōlelo ke Keʻena ʻOihana ʻo Idaho e nānā ana i nā kaukani o nā kiaʻi ma ka mokuʻāina no ka palekana.
Ma Nowemapa 1, 2016, ua nalowale ʻo Aimers i kāna kaikamahine 17 makahiki, ʻo Hannah Aimers, i ka wā i pā ai kāna kaʻa i ka hopena o kahi kiaʻi ma Tennessee. Hoʻopaʻa ke kiaʻi i kāna kaʻa a kau aku iā ia.
Ua ʻike ʻo Ames ua hewa kekahi mea, no laila ua hoʻopiʻi ʻo ia i ka mea hana ma luna o ka hoʻolālā. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua hiki mai ka hihia i kahi "hopena ʻoluʻolu". (Hōʻike nā moʻolelo o ka ʻaha hoʻokolokolo ʻaʻohe mea hōʻike i hoʻokomo pono ʻia ka pā i pā i ke kaʻa o Hana.)
"Makemake au e hōʻoia ʻaʻohe mea e like me kaʻu e ala ai i kēlā me kēia lā no ka mea ʻo wau ka makua o kahi keiki make i ʻopa ʻia e ka pā," wahi a Ames.
Ua kamaʻilio ʻo ia i nā poʻe kālai'āina a me nā alakaʻi o ka lawe ʻana i ka US e huki i ka nānā ʻana i nā pahu paʻa i hiki ʻole ke hoʻokomo pono ʻia. Ua kapa ʻia kekahi o lākou ʻo "Frankenstein fences" no ka mea he mau pā i kūkulu ʻia mai ka hui ʻana o nā ʻāpana i ʻōlelo ʻia e Ames e hana i nā monsters ma ko mākou mau alanui. Ua ʻike ʻo ia i nā ala hao ʻē aʻe i hoʻokomo ʻia i luna, i hope, me nā kī ʻole a pololei ʻole paha.
ʻO ke kumu mua o nā pale ʻana, ʻo ia ka pale ʻana i nā kānaka mai ka ʻauheʻe ʻana mai nā pā, ke kuʻi ʻana i nā kumulāʻau a i ʻole nā alahaka, a i ʻole ke holo ʻana i nā kahawai.
Wahi a ka Federal Highway Administration, he "poʻo haʻalulu" nā mea e hoʻemi ai i ka ikehu e paheʻe ma luna o ka pale ke paʻi i kahi kaʻa.
Hiki i ke kaʻa ke pā i ke poʻo o ke kaʻa a hoʻopololei ke poʻo hopena i ka pale a hoʻihoʻi hou iā ia mai ke kaʻa a hiki i ke kū ʻana o ke kaʻa. Inā paʻi ke kaʻa i ke kaʻa ma kahi kihi, ua haki ke poʻo i ka pale, e hoʻolohi i ke kaʻa ma hope o ke ala.
Inā ʻaʻole, hiki i ke kaʻa kiaʻi ke paʻi i ke kaʻa - he hae ʻulaʻula no Ames, no ka mea, e ʻōlelo ana nā mea hana kiaʻi no ka hui ʻana i nā ʻāpana e pale aku ai i ka ʻeha nui a i ʻole ka make, akā ʻaʻole e hiki.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Trinity Highway Products, i kapa ʻia ʻo Valtir i kēia manawa, ʻo ka hiki ʻole ke hahai i nā ʻōlelo aʻo i hui ʻia e hiki ke hopena i ka "ʻeha nui a i ʻole ka make inā pili ka kaʻa i kahi hui ʻana me kahi ʻōnaehana ʻaʻole i ʻae ʻia e ka Federal Highway Administration (FHA)".
ʻO nā kūlana kiaʻi o Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) e koi pū i nā limahana e hoʻokomo i nā pale e like me nā kuhikuhi a ka mea hana. Ua hoʻāʻo ʻia kēia mau ʻōnaehana a ʻae ʻia e ka Federal Housing Administration (FHA).
Akā, ma hope o ka noiʻi akahele, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ames ua loaʻa iā ia he 28 "ʻano pale ʻo Frankenstein" ma Interstate 84 ma Idaho wale nō. Wahi a Ames, ua hoʻokomo hewa ʻia ka pā kokoke i ka hale kūʻai hale kūʻai ʻo Boise Outlet. ʻO ke ala kiaʻi ma Caldwell, he mau mile ma ke komohana o Interstate 84, ʻo ia kekahi o nā pale kiaʻi ʻino loa i ʻike ʻia e Aimers.
"He koʻikoʻi a weliweli ka pilikia ma Idaho," wahi a Ames. "Ua hoʻomaka wau e ʻike i nā laʻana o nā kumu hopena o kekahi mea hana i hoʻokomo ʻia me nā kaʻa o kekahi mea hana. Ua ʻike au i ka nui o nā kihi Trinity slotted kahi i hoʻokomo ʻia ai ka lua kaʻaahi i lalo. I koʻu hoʻomaka ʻana e ʻike i kēia a ʻike hou aʻe, ʻike wau he koʻikoʻi maoli kēia.
Wahi a nā moʻolelo ITD, ʻehā mau kānaka ma Idaho i make ma waena o 2017 a me 2021 i ka wā i hāʻule ai kahi kaʻa i ka palena o ka pale, akā ua ʻōlelo ʻo ITD ʻaʻohe hōʻike o nā pōʻino a i ʻole nā hōʻike mākaʻi ʻo ka pale ponoʻī ke kumu o ko lākou make.
"Ke hana hewa kekahi, ʻaʻohe o mākou nānā, ʻaʻohe mākaʻikaʻi ITD, ʻaʻohe hoʻomaʻamaʻa no nā mea hoʻonohonoho a me nā mea hana. He kuhi hewa loa ia no ka mea ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i nā ʻōnaehana paʻa kūʻai, "wahi a Eimers. “Pono mākou e hōʻoia i ka hoʻokomo pono ʻia ʻana o kēia mau mea hana, i kūʻai ʻia me nā ʻauhau mokuʻāina a i ʻole ke kōkua federal. A i ʻole, ʻaihue mākou i ʻumi miliona mau kālā i kēlā me kēia makahiki a ke hoʻokau nei i nā pōʻino ma nā alanui.
No laila he aha ka hana a Ames? Ua koi ʻo ia i ke Keʻena ʻOihana ʻOihana ʻo Idaho e nānā i nā wahi pā āpau ma ka mokuʻāina. Ua hōʻike ʻo ITD e hoʻolohe ana.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo John Tomlinson Luna Hoʻonaʻauao ITD i kēia manawa ke alakaʻi nei ka ʻoihana i kahi papa helu mokuʻāina o ka ʻōnaehana pā holoʻokoʻa.
"Makemake mākou e hōʻoia ua hoʻokomo pono ʻia lākou, i palekana lākou," wahi a Tomlinson. “I ka wā e poino ai nā wēlau o ka pā kiaʻi, e nānā mākou no ka hoʻokomo pono ʻana iā lākou, a inā he pōʻino, hoʻoponopono koke mākou. Makemake mākou e hoʻoponopono. Makemake mākou e hoʻopaʻa pono ʻia lākou.
I ʻOkakopa, ua hoʻomaka nā luina e ʻeli i ka hohonu ma mua o 10,000 mau pale kiaʻi i hoʻopuehu ʻia ma mua o 900 mau mile o nā kiaʻi ma nā alanui mokuʻāina, wahi āna.
Ua hoʻohui ʻo Tomlinson, "A laila e hōʻoia i kā mākou kanaka mālama i nā ala kūpono o ke kamaʻilio e hiki ai i nā poʻe mālama mālama, nā ʻaelike a me nā mea ʻē aʻe no ka mea makemake wale mākou e palekana."
Ua ʻaelike ʻo Meridian's RailCo LLC i ka ITD e hoʻokomo a mālama i nā railings ma Idaho. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kevin Wade ka mea nona RailCo, hiki ke hui ʻia a hoʻokomo hewa ʻia paha nā ʻāpana o nā kaʻa kaʻa Frankenstein inā ʻaʻole i nānā ʻo ITD i ka hana mālama o kā lākou hui.
I ka nīnau ʻana i ke kumu i hana hewa ai lākou i ka hoʻokomo ʻana a hoʻoponopono ʻana paha i ka pā, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Tomlinson ma muli o ka backlog lako.
ʻO ka noiʻi ʻana i nā tausani o nā pā a hiki ke hoʻoponopono iā lākou he manawa a me ke kālā. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻo ITD i ke kumukūʻai hoʻoponopono a hiki i ka pau ʻana o ka waihona.
"Pono mākou e hōʻoia ua lawa kā mākou kālā no kēia," wahi a Tomlinson. "Akā he mea nui ia - inā pepehi a hōʻeha nui paha i nā kānaka, hana mākou i nā loli kūpono."
Ua ʻōlelo hou ʻo Tomlinson, ua ʻike lākou i kekahi "mau lālā lālā" a lākou e "makemake e hoʻololi" a e hoʻomau i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka ʻōnaehana alanui holoʻokoʻa o ka mokuʻāina i nā mahina e hiki mai ana.
Ua ʻōlelo hou ʻo ia ʻaʻole lākou i ʻike ʻaʻole e holo pono kēia mau lāʻau hope loa i ka wā o ka ulia.
Ua hoʻopili ʻo KTVB iā Idaho Gov. Brad Little e pili ana i kēia. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo kāna kākau ʻōlelo paʻi, ʻo Madison Hardy, e hana pū ana ʻo Little me ka ʻAhaʻōlelo e hoʻoponopono i nā āpau palekana me kahi pūʻulu kālā hoʻokele.
"ʻO ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka palekana a me ka pōmaikaʻi o ka poʻe Idahoans ka mea nui loa no ke Kiaʻāina ʻo Little, a ʻo kāna mau mea nui i ke kānāwai no ka makahiki 2023 e ʻoi aku ma mua o $ 1 biliona i nā hoʻopukapuka palekana hou a hoʻomau," kākau ʻo Hardy i kahi leka uila.
ʻO ka hope, e hoʻomau ʻo Ames e hana pū me nā luna kānāwai a me ke Keʻena ʻOihana e hoʻohanohano i kāna kaikamahine, e nānā i nā pā, a kāhea aku i nā mea hiki ke kōkua.
ʻAʻole makemake wale ʻo Ames e hoʻoponopono i ka pilikia o nā pale pōʻino, makemake ʻo ia e hoʻololi i ka moʻomeheu kūloko o ke keʻena kaʻahele, e hoʻolilo i ka palekana i mea nui. Ke hana nei ʻo ia no ka loaʻa ʻana o ke alakaʻi maʻalahi a hui pū ʻia mai nā keʻena halihali mokuʻāina, ka FHA, a me nā mea hana pā. Ke hana nei ʻo ia e kiʻi i nā mea hana e hoʻohui i "kēia ʻaoʻao" a i ʻole nā lepili kala i kā lākou ʻōnaehana.
"E ʻoluʻolu, mai ʻae i nā ʻohana ma Idaho e like me aʻu," wahi a Ames. "ʻAʻole pono ʻoe e ʻae i ka poʻe e make ma Idaho."
