Public Works Director Ikaika Rodenhurst said the cost of improving every road in the subdivision up to county standards could reach more than $10 million a mile, which would bring the full cost of road repairs to an estimated $837 million.
It's really too bad that infrastructure standards can never, ever be reduced to something that's a reasonable fit to the requirements. Hawaiian Acres does not need 40-ft pavement on 60-ft easements.
Nonetheless, Sako said the costs of the project, distributed among the roughly 4,000 residents of the subdivision, could cost each resident up to about $750 a month over a 25-year period.
Here's the thing: there are lots of people in the Acres who get by on less than $750/month. Where will they go?

UPDATE FEBRUARY 27 2021
We are moving forward with the Road Improvement District proposal that will be considered by all landowners within the boundaries of Hawaiian Acres. We will be posting more information in the coming weeks.
With all due haste, or something.
