From that report:
The top three Connectivity Locations for each of the four Puna areas are:
Volcano Area:
1. Fern Forest/Eden Roc - Kaleponi to Punahele
2. Volcano Village - Wright Road to Stainback
3. Fern Forest/ Eden Rock- Leila Road to Ahi Avenue, Map 3
Puna Uka (Upper):
1. Highway 11 to Fern Acres- South Lauko to Puhala
2. Enos Road to Hawaiian Acres - Enos Road to Ao and Kea Roads in Hawaiian Acres
3. Connect Fern Acres to Kopua Farmlots on Puhala to Kahikopele
Puna Waena (Middle):
1. HPP/HB/HS - Hawaiian Paradise Park to Hawaiian Beaches/Hawaiian Shores (Railroad)
2. HPP/Hilo - HPP to Hilo (Railroad)
3. Orchidland/Hawaiian Acres -- Pohaku Drive to Pulelehua Road
Puna Kai (Lower):
1. HPP to Hawaiian Beaches/Hawaiian Shores (Railroad)
2. Nanawale- Additional Access to Highway 132 via Forest Road
3. Seaview Estates -- Kamoamoa Road to Highway 130
This effort seems generally useful but directly conflicts with County's current posture of "cannot support private roads in any way shape or form". What if a given subdivision is opposed to more access? Worse, what happens if they actually build all of these, magically turning the "private subdivision roads" into a public road system (which they will then refuse to pave).
Should be fun to watch.
