Rob and kalakoa brought up the County spending on roads, or lack thereof, in Hilo and Kona.
Here's another question on the survey about roads, although it may fall under state jurisdiction rather than County:
"Should an alternate route be built between Hilo and Puna?"
14% - Yes, Makai of Hwy 130
38% - Yes, Railroad Extension
11% - Mauka of Hwy 130
23% - Beach Road Extension
11% - Other
3% - No
The Railroad Extension is by far the most favored route by voters. It would traverse heavily populated HPP, so could be quickly accessed by a majority of Puna drivers. Unfortunately it runs through the land holdings of the Shipman family which probably makes it the least likely proposition, despite the wishes of residents.
On the fifth day - the scientists who studied the rivers - were forbidden to speak - or to study the rivers. -Jane Hirshfield's poem on creation
