Oh Whitey - you are wrong again. The concept of a coastal highway connecting Hilo to Kapoho was launched in the 1960's general plan and is not alive and well in any current planning document. The easement of Coastal Puna Pkwy is 60' as opposed to the easement on Papio at 40'. The actual width of blacktop is only 3' wider on Coastal Puna Pkwy than on Papio so not a substantial difference.
Cold patch? If anyone tries that on the HSCA roads without approval they better be prepared to defend their actions in court! The roads in HSCA are collectively owned and any improvements become the property of HSCA so the board would have to approve such actions.
It is interesting that everyone jumps to conclusions about the new flow of traffic without any concrete proof! You can rent a traffic/speed counter for $100 a week. Maybe put your money where your mouths are!

This has been the "plan" since the 70's. That is why Coastal Puna Parkway is so wide. It is supposed to be the coastal road. Still in the PCDP that way. The wider the road, the faster the traffic moves.
