across stainback to one of the upper roads in Hilo
This route is only more likely in that it serves Volcano; it does nothing to solve the 130 problem.

Top of keaau to stainback isn't that far of a reach.

An alternate Hilo-Keaau route only needs about a mile of new road, some of which already exists -- nor does this solve the 130 problem.
Ultimately it doesn't matter; any alternate route requires two things that we will never have at the same time: funding and political will.
Allowing development that avoids the "must drive Hilo all the time" might not fix much of the problem, but it would create enough of a circus to distract people from the issues.

It is fun to argue about but the true fact is it won't happen in anyone who reads this sentence lifetime.. I'm okay with that I'm almost gone anyway. it is what it is.

For me, this was confirmed after reading STORY OF THE ROADS in the Hawaiian Acres Community Association newsletter from June 1962.
It might as well have been written yesterday.

Should be required reading for anyone who thinks "something must be done".
Their deterioration since September 20, 1960 is evidence of their insufficient engineering and inefficiency of construction.
