Aloha Liz,
While I very much like the idea of Railroad as a hike and bike alternative corridor, I have to wonder how effective allowing though cars with a 25 mph speed limit would be. There would either have to be serious speed bumps every 50 yards or continuous police enforcement to make people actually go that slow. What I have seen of law enforcement in HPP so far does not portend well for hopes of strict enforcement. I honestly don't think that many people would use the road if they knew they really couldn't go faster than 25. Just my opinion. I really like your ideas about village centers and community activism, though.
Lee, your idea is one that I have not heard before and it is very interesting. The only drawback I see is having a partially four-lane 130 as the only way out. If something were to block the newly four-laned 130 during an evacuation, it would be a mess. That might be the time for that gated, emergency only route across 15th.
Cheers,
Jerry
