Mayor's wish list delayed...

But he did share this bit of information. Well, at least he is talking about it. It's a good sign maybe might see some improvement?
Time will tell!
Kenoi said his office has been concentrating on projects the state and county can work on together, such as a new building for the College of Pharmacy at the University of Hawaii at Hilo and improvements to Highway 130 linking Keaau to Pahoa.
“It’s time for some urgently needed traffic relief for the working people who are commuting each day on the Keaau-to-Pahoa Highway, and we want to assist the state in every way we can to make that happen,” Kenoi said.
He said construction should begin by mid-2013 on the first phase of the plan to convert the existing shoulder lanes on Highway 130 into permanent lanes, and he’s pitching to the Legislature a larger plan to expand more than nine miles of the highway to four lanes.
Edit: 9 Miles for the larger plan...
well from where the 4 lane ends by the humane society, to Longs Drugs is only about 6 miles. So is he talking about expanding past Pahoa? 3 miles further out would be about a half a mile before leliia estates.
