East Kauaʻi community to discuss the future of transportation tonight

The fourth workshop for the East Kauaʻi Community and Circulation Plan will cover transportation this evening.

Community members are invited to participate in two more focused public workshops for the East Kauaʻi Community and Circulation Plan. The workshops will continue through September and are part of the department’s ongoing public engagement program.

The East Kauaʻi Community and Circulation Plan is a long-range planning initiative that addresses land use, transportation, infrastructure, housing, and more. It also emphasizes community priorities such as climate hazard resilience and the protection of cultural and historic resources.

“This planning process is about listening and learning together. We encourage all East Kauaʻi residents to be part of the conversation,” said Planning Director Kaʻāina Hull.

The last two workshops focus on specific priorities, including:

Workshop 4: Transportation – Tuesday, Aug. 12, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Kalukalu Economic Resilience Center at 1624 Kūhiō Highway in Kapaʻa.

Workshop 5: Parks, Recreation, and Economic Development – Tuesday, Sept. 16, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Samuel Mahelona Memorial Hospital Auditorium at 4800 Kawaihau Road in Kapaʻa.

The workshops will feature interactive opportunities for community feedback and dinner. For those unable to attend in person, workshop materials will also be available online.
