Some areas here in the Park are considering requesting speedbumps as part of the project since there are already people who drive 50-60 on the cinders. Having said that, my main concerns center on the financial management and not the idea of having paved roads. Am I the only one who remembers the Paradise Drive repaving fiasco? Let's hope they've learned how to do better and get the whole thing done without any hitches.
Whatever my worries about the details, it does speak well that the community has decided to do something about what many feel is a shortcoming of life in HPP. The vote passed by a large margin, and this could lead to more autonomous solutions to other problems here and elsewhere in Puna. Heaven knows the politicians in Hilo have shown little inclination to do anything.
Cheers,
Jerry
