Question: Why is there no canopy over the Uber and Lyft ride pickup median at the Honolulu airport? Visitors and residents are left to stand in the sun or rain while waiting for their app rides. TheBus riders, too, I believe.

Question: In early November, Hawaiian Electric contacted those affected by the June Downtown Honolulu power outage about a compromise payment. We were informed it may take over two weeks to process. This was in early November. I submitted my request and authorized release, but it is now about a month since doing so. When can we expect our payment?

Question: Does the city still mail out property tax notices, or do we have to check online? I didn’t get anything this year.

Question: Why is it taking so long to rebuild the Kala­pawai Roundabout? This project has been underway for years. It’s great that they’re done with Phase 5, but there are four more phases to go — to redo a traffic circle that was working OK as it was.

Question: I have questions about state tax overpayments. I am a preparer who does GET and individual taxes for clients. The only overpayment that is automatically refunded to the taxpayer is the individual tax on a yearly return. Please help me understand why the state does not issue an automatic refund when a taxpayer overpays their GET tax. The tax office, also, does not include the credit on the subsequent required filing, but, rather, the credit for overpayment sits in the taxpayer’s account. This is ridiculous and unacceptable! What gives the state the right to do this? How do we as taxpayers correct this issue?

Question: Some city parks have swimming pools, and I’ve seen adults swimming laps. Do any of these pools offer swimming lessons for adults, or are the lessons only for children?

Question: Regarding the new online test to get a driver’s permit (808ne.ws/4fv1GuY), my grandson had the correct computer to take the test but it couldn’t verify him so he will have to go to the DMV to take it anyway. I wish we had known this could happen so he could have made an appointment and not wasted time trying over and over.

Question: Regarding new rules at community gardens (808ne.ws/3BSivCy), I have some questions as I am one who could be considered in violation although I do have good reasons for neglecting my plot (ill health). Will there be a grace period in terms of cutting back overgrowth and removing trees that are no longer allowed? Also, why are they saying no trees? Last, will they enforce against the feeding of feral cats?

Question: How will I know if I am getting the extra stimulus payment? When would I get it? Do I have to submit a form?

Question: I’m a renter with a pretty good landlord so when my year’s lease expired I continued on a month-to-month basis because I wasn’t sure how much longer I would stay. Now I am ready to move out and I gave two month’s notice but my landlord says he needs three months. Is this required?
