Community members and the Maui Bicycling League met in Lahaina to discuss coordinating roughly $600 million in planned transportation projects across West Maui. Organizers stressed the importance of designing these investments as one connected network rather than isolated improvements.
- Five major projects are planned or underway in West Maui, including the Honoapiʻilani Highway coastal realignment, Lahaina Bypass Phase 1C, and the West Maui Greenway.
- Combined federal, state, and county funding for these projects is estimated at approximately $600 million.
- Community participants urged agencies to coordinate projects into a single safe, multimodal transportation network.
- The Hawaii Department of Transportation was praised for quickly clearing storm debris from bike lanes ahead of the community ride.
- Maui County’s Department of Public Works is managing heavy infrastructure demands simultaneously with wildfire recovery and recent storm damage.
