KTA looking to place a new market at Auli`i Dr.

Thanks taropatch for the link. What an eyeopener to read through some of the PCDP. It was dissappointing to read that the concept of the PMAR has been basically dismissed by the PCDP as an non-doable project. That, in my eyes, makes all the planning moot. Without a proper road system in place that creates traffic circulation and connectivity, planning is just doomed to be one major Custer*#^.

It is clear that a ton of work has gone into PCDP, but,

(from PCDP) "While the concept of a limited access parkway has merit, it would be very difficult to
acquire right-of-way for this through a large subdivision such as HPP in a timely and costeffective
manner. Therefore, a shorter route through HPP is a more practical and less disruptive
alternative to implement within the time-frame of this plan."

shoots PCDP in the foot. And that came along with the stated objective was to be:

(from PCDP)
a. Create alternative, redundant routes for existing Highways 11, 130 and 132 utilizing
existing routes wherever possible.

Operative words: redundant, circulation, connectivity.

How can you plan for Village centers or retail locations without a proper road system?

ed to add: It is one thing to be able to say where a particular project shouldn't be, but the need is to be able to say where it should be.
