Any additional route will have to go through someone's backyard, the original designers stuck us with that reality long ago.
The 4 laneing of 130 to Pahoa will definitely help, and that's already in motion.
The targeting of many small other connectors could definitely help. I live in Mtn View on the south side of 11. An alternate route to volcano or pahoa would be welcome, even if it was through all the subdivisions. The Kahikopele proposal is an interesting one. I can see how that could work given the various cross streets that already exist. I would hope that enough land could be acquired so the maze of left and right turns from street to street could be avoided. A few curves would be acceptable, but hopefully a continuous path would be possible, and could be paved for a 35mph speed limit.
