(HALE‘IWA) – The City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Design and Construction (DDC) invites the public to attend a community meeting for the Kamehameha Highway Improvements in Hale‘iwa Town Project. The purpose of the meeting is to provide an overview of the project and update area residents and businesses on planned improvements that will enhance pedestrian connectivity and promote an active pedestrian-oriented commercial street frontage.
The project will also mitigate stormwater ponding along Kamehameha Highway between the ‘Ōpae‘ula Bridge (Twin Bridges) and Anahulu River Bridge within Hale‘iwa Town.
Project improvements include repaving of the roadway, paving the shoulders with permeable concrete pavers, concrete or asphalt (based on site conditions), installation of raised concrete curbs between the roadway and shoulders, a subdrainage system, and underground stormwater storage tanks.
The project was initially conceived of as the Hale‘iwa Town Improvement District Project, which requires financial participation from abutting property owners. However, based on community input, DDC has scaled down the project and will fund the improvements as a rehabilitation of streets project through the City’s Capital Improvement Program.
