When the county was actually discussing building PMAR with HPP a few years ago, there was a fact sheet put together based on the county's plans at the time. IIRC, Mr. Weatherford was on the committee, and he knows this subject better than most. One of the few things the county was clear about was that they did not want Railroad for the route. It meanders across HPP with about seven intersecting cross streets and the right of way, with the exception of the stretch between HPP and Hawaiian Beaches, is private and would require condemnation like any other property. In fact, I believe Railroad was referred to as a "red herring," but people and politicians who don't bother to research all this still revert to Railroad as their default route. I actually attended the meeting where the county described their plan as being to run the new road between two existing parallel roads in the "least developed" part of HPP to minimize having to buy out homes. At the time, that would have been somewhere between 10th and 15th, and it is still probably true, at least based on the most recent Google Maps snapshot I just looked at.

Meanwhile, the Shipmans remain intransigent, and there is no money anywhere in sight to build the thing.
