Rob Tucker's PMAR Proposal

[Daniel]

I like BOTH Ideas. Make an exit on each one with the new highway coming somewhere near the airport and end at the airport intersection. Maybe even continue on to keaukaha.

A PMAR connection to Hilo is another can of worms to figure out.

My preference is Puainako and the possibly the Airport Road. Puainako is a four lane divided roadway past Safeway and Longs. Why it is a four lane is a bit of a mystery. It would seem that there are or were intentions for it to go somewhere. But Pauinako is interesting for a few reasons. I mention the Airport because I would love to see a bus run to and from the airport.

1. It does not really connect with Hwy. 11 as a route to town and so reduces traffic on that inbound.
2. It accesses major shopping destinations
3. It aims directly uphill toward the Saddle Road and Komohana routes.

There may be better ideas out there.
