Bill > HR193

This resolution requests collaboration between the Hawaii State Department of Transportation and the Maui County Department of Transportation with the Kihei Community Association (KCA) regarding the Kihei Mauka Road project. The resolution highlights the significant transportation challenges in Kihei, a rapidly growing region in South Maui that experiences frequent road flooding and congestion. 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 road segment as a priority for 2025. The resolution specifically calls for collaborative planning that includes regular consultations to incorporate community feedback, address environmental concerns, and ensure alignment with the Kihei-Makena Community Plan. Additionally, the resolution directs that official copies be sent to the state and county transportation directors and the KCA president, demonstrating a formal request for cooperative infrastructure development.
