The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT) will hold an environmental open house to discuss proposed improvements to Kaumualiʻi Highway between Anonui Street and Maluhia Road. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, August 26, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Kaua‘i Community College Fine Arts Auditorium.
According to HDOT, the department is conducting an environmental study that will examine options for improving safety, supporting multimodal connectivity, addressing travel demand and congestion, and assessing potential impacts on community, natural, cultural, and historic resources in the project area.
Community members attending the open house can provide input on the environmental study and learn about both the review process and project timeline. The open house will be held in person only.
A virtual meeting is also planned for Wednesday, August 27 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., allowing stakeholders another opportunity to participate. Registration for this online session is available at https://us06web.zoom.us meeting/register/ u-y5hL2mTv-0vsuAknslog.
