Nearly all the streets in Honolulu are in "dire need" of repaving.  It's a city wide issue that only the county and mayor can take responsibility for.  While pushing for a $3.2 billion dollar rail bail out, the mayor has neglected proper road maintenance.  Pot hole filling is supposed to be a temporary fix to a short window for repaving, not a long term solution.  It's time we pressure the city into doing what their primary responsibility to the public is, basic needs, infrastructure, safety, public health.  
The big picture is Honolulu has not had any "new" roads added and probably will never, given the density of buildings that exist, but older roads can be widened and improved to make commuting safer and faster.  Take a look at the up and coming urban living space in Kaka'ako, the city hasn't paved roads there in decades or more and they now have one of the strongest property tax basis do fund it.  It's a crime that we are taxed so much and get back so little in return.
