I think the improvements at the Maku'u Market are great! Everything the association has done has been to make it safer for the multitudes to access it. How many trips to Hilo for vegetables are eliminated by their availability here in Puna? I know my diet has improved and my gas bill lowered because of the Market.
I too am upset at the delay to make other areas of Highway 130 safer, but feel no need to knock the improvements we do get.
I know this may be distasteful to some of you, but have any of you considered non violent civil disobedience as a method of attention getting. It worked for our Forfathers (well, that turned violent), Dr. King, critical mass, and throngs of war resisters in the 60's.
It wouldn't take many people and/or machines to blockade the highway, demonstrating the need for alternative routes and safety features.
Any radicals out there?[
