Leilani and the Viewing Area
#1
https://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com/201...tes-fails/

Turkovsky explained that Leilani Estates is divided into two sections: Section 1, a small unincorporated area not part of the association consisting of about 75 homes located the farthest possible distance from the lava; and the greater part of the subdivision, Section 2, with more than 2,000 lots.

The majority of those in opposition to the resolution, Turkovsky pointed out, do not live close to the lava and are not directly affected by tourists, while Section 2 residents are more affected and are broadly in support of the resolution.


Imagine that! ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL.

Kamelamela said the road arguably is not a terminus -- the road does not end, it is merely impeded -- and that a barricade at the entrance to the subdivision will impede traffic flow.

It's a through road on paper, therefore it's not a dead-end (even though it is).

O'Hara said that the creation of a lava viewing area, a much-discussed potential project since before the end of the eruption, would "take the stress off" many Puna communities.

Months later ... still "discussed" and "potential".

I wonder what it would cost for the county to bulldoze a gravel road and parking area for a decent lava viewing spot in such a way as to allow maximum tourist visitation but also divert the resulting traffic away from the remaining homes in Leilani? Perhaps we could bait Harry Kim into going for it by letting him do it under his much beloved (by him and his cohort) emergency powers. Oh, wait. That would take thinking outside the box and listening to people who aren't necessarily part of the county power base. Never mind.

-- the road does not end, it is merely impeded --

Like the word inconceivable in the Princess Bride:
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

the road does not end

Send out crews to reopen it, or concede the point.
