You mention this quite a bit... just wondering... are you a licensed civil engineer?
Anyway, what Yurtgirl said hits the nail on the head.
"True too that many people have schedules to keep, kids to pick up, multiple stops to make and live in the boonies..."
You all live and drive in the boonies. Period. Be happy 130 is even paved. [:p]
Seriously though, true the road could use some improvements, but I have a feeling the people at county and state are afraid of expansion because it's only going to increase traffic and encourage more growth in a part of the island it was never meant for. Seriously, this county knows what it's like to deal with a major tragedy in a populated area... do you think it wants to concentrate or encourage more development in the most probable path of the volcano?????
