City's mowing, weed trimming appreciated

Honolulu Advertiser

This letter is to acknowledge and say thank you for the frequent mowing and weed trimming along Kamehameha Highway on the North Shore.

Also, the recent weed trimming of the ocean-view areas such as Waimea Bay expose our breathtaking views. The most recent and very noticeable job was the trimming of the bike path foliage. The piles of cuttings were daunting, but they were picked up within two weeks.

The city and county is doing a wonderful job of maintaining our area and I really appreciate it.

Aloha and welcome to the North Shore of Oahu


Renowned for its legendary beaches, Haleiwa is a favorite refuge for Hawaii’s residents and a must-see for visitors.

Nowhere else on Oahu will you find quaint shops and cafes housed in plantation-era buildings less than five miles from world-famous surf spots. More info...

From the vast pineapple plantations near Wahiawa, to the tropical orchards of Waialua, to the more than colorful atmosphere of Haleiwa town, there's plenty to do and see. Travel down the road and you come upon the world-renowned beaches of Pipeline, Sunset Beach, and of course Waimea Bay. Take a hike in Waimea Valley or explore Peacock Flats in Mokuleia on the Waianae Range. Stop by a roadside stand in Kahuku and pick up a fresh papaya or savor a fresh catch shrimp plate. Catch an authentic Polynesian canoe pageant at the Polynesian Cultural Center in Laie, and you have the makings of a fun-filled time on the North Shore.
