Rob Tucker and leilanidude have the right idea. The generally ignored sham of a Puna Community Development Plan even had something reasonably similar, and many of us in HPP would support it. The problem is that the Hawaii DOT does not want to even consider such a route until the eternally delayed Highway 130 four lane project is finished. That's why there's no money.
Meanwhile Ohara might try to build something on a smaller scale, but I still see HPP opposing it due to the increased traffic it would bring to our private roads. I don't think even the Hawaii courts will let the county dump a couple thousand cars per day into HPP without compensation, but I guess it could happen. Would the county even pay for it?
