Yes, some sort of barrier in the middle of the streets close to the highway that are currently being used as short-cut routes. The residents can sill exit off their street to the main roads out (M,P,K) one direction or the other but doesn't work nearly as well for the non-residents intending to cut through the park. How far down, street-wise, do you think commuters would be willing to travel before it's not worth their while in cutting across HPP?

Yeah, I have suggested this for a year or so. It is possible and practical for HPP to control the use on those upper roads if the residents there want to. Post a sign on the south end of each road saying "closed to through traffic 7 am to 9 am" and let a volunteer resident on the street take charge of opening and closing the gate. Do that for a week and you can probably relax.
I did run this past some HDOT officials and they said it could be done without need for a permit or permission from government. HPP owns those roads and as long as residents and public safety can get to and from the properties HPP can do what it wants.
It will be interesting to see what happens when construction begins on Hwy. 130 and continues for several years.

Weren't they suppose to have started construction already on Hwy 130?

Yes. Reputedly there are delays getting Right of Way (ROW), and land at the intersection of Shower/Pohaku with 130 is such a problem. HPP cannot grant ROW or ROEntry because the land (underlying roadway) is owned in common by owners of ~5,000 lots. Perhaps the State will take it through declaration of eminent domain.
