Curious as to whether anyone here attended the public meeting on January 16th regarding the proposed-Pahoa-roundabout. It was initially to have been held back in December, but was rescheduled for this past Wednesday.
Here's the meeting-link as well as the artist's/(ostrich's?) rendering...

I found the link withIN the article to be enlightening/froghtening as well. Hard to imagine the traffic-nightmare being even worse than it already is.... but it looks like that's what we have to look forward to folks.
Having lived in Puna for over 25 years, having barely escaped death and/or dismemberment a number of times on my 10-times-a-week white-knuckle drive through those stupid (soon to be stupider?) intersections, all I can say is "Roundabout?" Gimme a Break (...and gimme some traffic lights!)!"
