Support for Highway Realignment with Emphasis on West Maui Greenway Connectivity
We recognize and support the relocation of a 6.5 -miles segment of Honoapiʻilani Highway mauka to safeguard this vital transportation corridor against the impacts of rising sea levels and climate change. This realignment plays a critical role in West Maui’s recovery, resilience, and future sustainability.

The Maui Bicycling League supports the realignment effort and does not oppose the current plan. However, we respectfully request that the Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT) prioritizes the conversion of the former highway route into a bike and pedestrian trail.
