From HiloJulie’s link above:
Members of the Hawaiian homestead communities of Panaʻewa and Keaukaha and the state Department of Hawaiian Home Lands are concerned about possible impacts of a new road, and don’t want any alternate routes going through Hawaiian homelands.
Can’t argue with that. Although once they look at and reject the other routes that also impact the communities they would transverse, or empty property owned by wealthy land barons (or land ali’i) they might let us know what’s left for our consideration.
Hilo Councilwoman Sue Lee Loy, who represents the Panaʻewa and Keaukaha areas, said no community throughout the country has ever solved traffic problems by building another road. When she looks at the money for the study, she sees it as an opportunity to explore other alternatives.
I can argue with that. No road ever solved traffic congestion? Throughout the entire United States? Has she grown but never flown?
The council wants to delay action for various reasons, some of which we can only hope and assume will include alternative routes like flying car corridors and seaglider ports along the Puna coast.
