you guys are funny, try living driving in the middle of Hawaiian Acres. The Government Rd between Honolulu Landing and 4 corners is in great shape and easily drivable for any car/truck at 25 miles an hour (they even recently took out a few of the humps too). My road you would bottom out at 3 miles an hour, try drive that daily... you never complain about that nice well kept road you have down there in WaaWaa.... no need to pave it, if you like pavement move to Hilo aloha

C'mon Bananahead, did you not see that most of us want the road safe, not necessarily paved?

I've driven through sections of Hawaiian Acres, and heartily agree that some of your roads are really tough to drive. However, to state that ANY car/truck can easily drive the unpaved portion of Government Beach Road at 25 miles an hour isn't correct. Yes, the county did lower one of the blind hills a bit to make it safer. There are still plenty of places on the unpaved portion where due to little or no visibility from blind hills or narrow roadway, you must go slowly to avoid a potential head on with oncoming traffic.
