So many folks have died on that road its criminal.And when the folks putting up the shopping center in Orchidland wanted to pay for the light themselves the county said "NO" its crazy!it really makes me mad how the county is not providing any infrastructure to the area.mean while all you hear is there is so much excess tax revenue they don't know what to do with it!!!!!!!!
Fact is its dangerous and crowded we need reduced speed limits,double lanes,turning lanes and traffic lights ect.. wether some folks want them or not.The Keaau-Pahoa bypass has all that and I have not heard of too many(not even one) people getting killed on it.Shipmans new "subdivision" is going to have its entrances on the kp Bypass "funny" how that infrastructure is already in place for them.
When we were looking for property the realtor told us locals don't buy in Orchidland because its to dangerous to get on/off the highway maybe thats why the subdivision never really took off like you would think.
I think I read that something like 50 thousand more people were expected to move into Puna in the next 10 years,(do you think they figured interest rates into it).Gee I wonder how long it will take the county if ever to build us a decent road.
Sorry to rant but the goverment needs to take responsibility for what they half-a$$ed created for easy revenue and they are not acting fast enough, anyone of us could get killed.
