yes lee, the county did pay for 10 feet wide road, HA paid the other side. but the point was it was an emergency road, no heavy trucks, sidewalks, bikepaths, many many promises made. i was trying to warn HPP people that when the county says railroad will be emergency also that they dont always hold to their promises.
i dont know if railroad is already a county roadway. if so, they improved their own roadway (with tax payer funds) so i dont believe they will ever close it now. but road 8 is a private road that the county is talking about diverting traffic into. this was not planned as an alternate route for traffic jams. it is going to be a dangerous situation as the current speed limit is 25mph and i dont think puna commuters are used to that speed..there are not even stop signs at all the cross roads or turnouts or line of sights on this rollar coaster type road.. safe somewhat at 25mph but not as a commuter route.
