Oceanside 1250 promised a much needed public road from its project makai of Kealakekua to Napoopoo Road. But now, decades later, the development is there, the lots sold and the income taken, but the road isn't there, leaving the county and its citizens to pay for its huge expense.
I've seen this movie before....

The Mamalahoa Highway bypass is being constructed as we speak. The taxpayers haven't paid a dime of the construction costs for this roadway. 12.5 million dollars was received from the bonding company, and 20 million dollars was paid by the new owners of Hokuli'a to fullfill their entitlement obligations.
