The people who think opening that road up will be some sort of solution are dreaming, it will just move one traffic nightmare down the road and add it to another traffic nightmare.
For me, that would be exactly the point: with a clearly demonstrated "we did everything we could, it didn't help", it might just barely be possible to start the larger discussion about the inadequacy of "one road in, one road out".
Keaau-Pahoa widening project includes at least two more roundabouts, so we'll be doing this again and again over the coming decade(s), and with the additional traffic from population growth, it will only be worse Next Time.
