Here's a video I made of a recent walk from L'Orange Place to the next closest public access for Kailua Beach, which L'Orange residents claimed was just a couple hundred feet away when they went on TV and spoke to news reporters. Aside from that inaccuracy, the video shows how dangerous this stretch of road is for pedestrians, bicycle riders and children who have no choice but to use Kalaheo Avenue to get to that public access.
Since it's a pretty long walk, contrary to what the L'Orange homeowners say, I had plenty of time to also talk about the recently passed State legislation that will supposedly make beachfront property owners responsible for trimming back vegetation that could impede lateral beach access. Good luck with that. The bill was modeled on a City law that makes homeowners responsible for maintaining sidewalks and unimproved sidewalk areas next to their properties... a law that isn't being enforced, as I can personally attest to.
