Puna lunatics demanded ... a traffic light at the intersection of Kahakai and Pahoa Village Road
This is written into the "Bryson's permit" as a prerequisite for final.
In any case ... due to the anti-growth and subsequent piecemeal project approvals, the long-term problems will be well-established before anyone quite notices them.
In this instance: Bryson's is about 9 acres, the existing Malama shopping center sits on about 9 acres, and between these two parcels is ... another 9 acres. It's going to be quite the traffic nightmare once it's all developed, with each having its own access, similar to the way it's currently necessary to drive out to the highway when visiting friends in the next subdivision.
I wonder what will go into the old Malama location? Maybe they can afford to leave it empty to avoid potential competition ... this is how Safeway and Walmart manage their real estate portfolios... pretty sure the old Hilo Safeway location is still vacant.
