It took a 10-year legal battle to get to the bottom of who actually owns the roads in Kaka ako and to get someone to finally fix them. Now that a judge has ruled in favor of the city and state, the city has the green light to repair over 100 potholes in the area and eventually upgrade the streets entirely. Scott Saiki, the area lawmaker who also happens to be Speaker of the House, and City Facilities Director Roger Babcock shared the latest developments.

The City and County of Honolulu has begun filling potholes on Kaka‘ako streets acquired by the state earlier this year.
Work started Tuesday on Cummins, Queen, Waimanu, Kawaihao and Ilaniwai streets in Honolulu. The roads will remain open during the repairs.
The city previously maintained the publicly used roads but stopped a few years ago as a court case disputing the street ownership went through the courts. In February, the Hawai‘i Circuit Court ruled that the streets belonged to the state, and not to the Kaka‘ako Land Company.
The case is ongoing, but under a new agreement, the city will maintain the streets. The state also plans to eventually transfer ownership to the city.
