Kuhua Street Extension and Improvement Project - Conceptual Alignment, not final
“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
Purpose
The Kuhua Street extension 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 pedestrian-friendly 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 Honoapiʻilani Highway.
Project Description
This project is to develop a new public collector roadway that will be aligned east of, and roughly parallel to, Honoapiʻilani 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.
