Kuhua Street Extension and Improvement Project - Proposed Alignment
“We need to widen the roads in the Kuhua Camp area. Aki, Kopili, Paeohi, Kale, Hauola, Kale etc.”
Community Quote from Long-Term Planning Recovery Survey
Project Description
This project is to develop a new public collector roadway which will be aligned east of, and roughly parallel to, Honoapi’ilani Highway (approximately 2 miles) with two travel lanes and additional turn lanes at major intersections. Utilities including drainage, water, sewer, power, telephone, and television will be installed or upgraded. The Kuhua Street extension may include the proposed West Maui Greenway multiuse path.
Purpose
As this area is currently undeveloped, it will provide new necessary connectivity, egress, multimodal transportation, and utility corridors to West Maui. The project will alleviate existing traffic congestion and improve circulation, including pedestrianfriendly access by incorporating a multiuse trail along its entire length in a later phase. The roadway would also serve as an alternate route during emergencies or in the event of unexpected closures of Honoapi’ilani Highway.
Interdependencies and Roadblocks
Land acquisition for right-of-way and construction permitting will need to be obtained.
Next Steps
- Securing right of way, land acquisition and subdivisions
- Preparation of an environmental assessment and construction documents
- Obtainment of construction permits, advertisement for bid, and construction
