Nowhere in their op-ed piece do the three politicians mention the effect of all those additional cars from their newly "limited" PMAR option on HPP's already substandard roads. We currently get hundreds of cars going across our mauka roads during rush hour to avoid some of the 130 crawl. With another option, this will get worse and spread over more of the subdivision, depending on where they bring the new road in . . . if it ever gets built. The result will be more dust, more potholes, and more traffic on residential unimproved roads.
A well built, buffered road all the way across HPP might actually be better than what they propose. At least it would be maintained by the government and keep most of the traffic focused. I see yet another lawsuit in HPP's future, and this time the expense might actually be justified if it forces the politicians to do this the right way. They need to pressure the state to finish the four lane project on 130 and then come up with a comprehensive plan that includes community input.
