Ponopuna, unless you are an HPP property owner, you don't get any say in the matter. As the County keeps reminding folks, it is all private property. As far as dirt roads keeping Hawaii Hawaiian, you might talk to the folks at Hawaiian Homelands. They keep telling Hawaiians who get old and die waiting for leases that one reason it takes so long is that they don't have money to pave roads to the lease lots.
Actually you might have a say. All the projects must go through the regualr permit approval process first. Also unless the HPP subdivision closed the "gate" once a year each and every year, those roads are non longer private roads. The county may not want to take responsibility but they are no longer "private" roads -- see fight over Ainaloa to Hi Acres connector.
