Honestly peeps; where exactly would the path of this alternate road go? Sure, go around Kaena, too late it's a Bird Sanctuary, go over or around the mountains...Through grandma's house, and who's back yard in Nana's or Maili or Makakilo? Just use Google Earth, there ain't no path left unless you plan on uprooting entire neighborhoods!  The problem is population density! Too many people double stacking in homes on the Westside because the cost of rent and/or homes are still some what affordable to most working class citizens. Just my 2 nickels for the day!
