CLEAR THAT MOMENT: South Kihei Road through the north Kihei area one Sunday afternoon in March.
South Maui residents with interest in future transportation projects in their region are welcome to view an online town hall meeting on April 27.
The Maui County Planning Department set the virtual meeting from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 27 via live stream on the department’s We Are South Maui Facebook page.
The event is an opportunity for the public to learn about upcoming transportation projects in South Maui, and is part of the South Maui Community Plan update process.
Panelists from state and county government agencies are set to discuss future street improvements planned for the South Maui region, and answer questions about the area's transportation network.
Topics expected as part of the discussion: state and county road projects to address safety and congestion matters; planned pedestrian and bicycle system improvements; future upgrades for Piʻilani Highway; and future plans for the Maui Bus system.
Panelists at the town hall will include:
- Ed Sniffen, Deputy Director for Highways, Hawaii Department of Transportation
- Lauren Armstrong, Executive Director, Maui Metropolitan Planning Organization
- Nolly Yagin, Head Traffic Engineer, Maui County Public Works
- Marc Takamori, Director, Maui County Department of Transportation
“With so many agencies involved in our transportation network, it can be difficult to know who is doing what and where projects are in the process,” Mayor Michael Victorino said. “This meeting will help make future plans a little clearer for South Maui residents.”
“This town hall will show where projects are in the process, so we can work with the community to address unmet transportation and mobility needs with the South Maui Community Plan update,” said Planning Department Director Michele McLean.
The live stream April 27 will be accessible at www.facebook.com/wearesouthmaui, at the time of the event. (A Facebook account is not required to view the live stream).
