the alternate route is a one way trip to the mainland. take it or leave it.
Wow that seems like a harsh option for someone who loves this place. I don't want to leave. Seems a little rude even, bluesboy. Like Kalakoa said, is that too much to push for? Making ripples about an issue that affects practically all of Puna?
For the amount of people down here the single route road option isn't adequate. While leaving the acres I saw diesel delivery trucks struggling to navigate the narrow 8 road. Unable to make the initial turn towards 8 after coming off Kuauli road because the Hawaiian acre roads are too narrow. There are no shoulders. The road was closed in both directions so all the morning deliveries had to come through the opposite direction of the miles long bumper to bumper mess of cars.
Hawaiian Acres and Orchidland roads aren't sufficient as an emergency alternate route!
I saw several vehicles pull off onto peoples driveways because their car broke down, radiator steaming from overheating.
There were also secondary accidents on 8 road. The emergency vehicles coming through took forever too because there are practically no shoulders for people to pull over and let them pass. A real gagglef*ck of a situation that should be addressed.
