I am of the opinion that Hwy. 130 needs improvements and that they can be accomplished with comparative ease when contrasted with several years of heavy construction to four lane the ten miles. If a first phase of PMAR can be built the heavy congestion will be alleviated.
People should be aware that just adding the shoulders to the highway was a two year project. Widening and signalizing will be ongoing for years and make travel worse and dangerous. PMAR can be built without having to maintain traffic flow - much, much easier to build without dealing with traffic.
Hwy. 130 needs safety features now.... turn lanes, merge lanes.
Gary Safarik suggested some years ago that for about $250,000 a year it would be possible to place traffic control officers at the tough intersections and Keaau merge. That could be a good way to deal with traffic while PMAR gets moved forward.
