The existing light would have worked with just connecting the industrial park to the ball field (it is already a 4 way light) with a road. But connecting to the 3 way light makes good sense too, maybe more sense for accommodating large trucks.
"Didn't Puna Kai have to pay for their traffic light? As a condition of permit approval?"
Yes, and they paid for it.
A similar bribe was offered to the county for the OLE development but he went bankrupt, never finished the development, and therefore, no light. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it will get a COD instead.
"The reason for the new stop light is due to the increased traffic from the industrial park."
From what, Mirandas?
