There's really not much I could do as a State House Representative
More to the point: it's a statewide problem which the counties refuse to address.
Hawaii County just happens to have the most "privately-owned" roads and the lowest fuel tax.
Of particular interest: County is quite flexible on their "standards" whenever the State provides funding under the (State) Roads In Limbo program -- yet they cite these same "standards" as justification to ignore the "private" roads. I'm sure at least some subdivisions could manage a 12-foot paved surface on a 40-foot easement -- just like a recent RIL project which now provides a paved road to a grand total of ... three driveways.
