Multiple sources, including Maui County and Maui Now, report that the County of Maui Department of Public Works hosted a virtual meeting and open house on June 25, 2026, focused on the environmental assessment for the proposed West Maui Greenway. The 25-mile multiuse trail would run along the West Maui Coast and is designed to serve commuters, recreational users, and emergency response needs.
- The West Maui Greenway is a proposed 25-mile multiuse trail connecting Ukumehame in the south to LÄ«poa Point in the north along the West Maui Coast.
- The virtual meeting ran from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 25, 2026, via Zoom (Meeting ID: 889 3362 6269).
- State law requires an environmental assessment as part of the planning and approval process for the shared-use path.
- The project is being managed by DPW in partnership with consultants SSFM International.
- The trail would be physically separate from Honoapi’ilani Highway and is envisioned to serve as an emergency evacuation route, a protective firebreak, and a potential corridor for undergrounding utilities.
- Construction would repurpose abandoned sugar cane haul roads and a railroad right-of-way.
- Community members can submit feedback on proposed design considerations at the project website through July 24, 2026.
- The county contact for the project is civil engineer Nolly Yagin at nolly.yagin@co.maui.hi.us. (Maui Now)
