This concurrent resolution requests collaboration between the Hawaii State Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Maui County Department of Transportation with the Kihei Community Association (KCA) on the Kihei Mauka Road project. The resolution highlights the significant transportation challenges in the rapidly growing Kihei region, including frequent flooding and road closures that impact residents' daily commutes. The proposed Kihei Mauka Road is intended to provide an alternative route to the congested South Kihei Road, improving traffic flow and transportation options. The KCA, a nonprofit organization established in 1960, has identified the completion of this North-South Collector Road as a priority for 2025. The resolution specifically requests that the transportation departments collaborate with the KCA through regular consultations to incorporate community feedback, address environmental concerns, and ensure the project aligns with the Kihei-Makena Community Plan. Additionally, the resolution calls for certified copies of the resolution to be transmitted to the Directors of Transportation for both the state and county, as well as the President of the Kihei Community Association.
