REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OF THE COUNTY OF MAUI TO COLLABORATE WITH THE KIHEI COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION IN THE PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE KIHEI MAUKA ROAD PROJECT.

This concurrent resolution (HCR 201) requests that Hawaii's State Department of Transportation and Maui County's Department of Transportation collaborate with the Kihei Community Association (KCA) in planning and implementing the Kihei Mauka Road project. It specifically asks for regular consultations to incorporate community feedback, address environmental concerns, and align the project with the Kihei-Makena Community Plan. The resolution does not fund or construct the road but focuses on ensuring community input during the planning phase. It directly affects the KCA, state and county transportation departments, and residents of Kihei who experience current traffic and flooding challenges on South Kihei Road.
