Public hearings on proposed federally funded transportation projects for Maui will be held next month at four community workshops.

Those are scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at Helene Hall in Hana; 6 to 8 p.m. April 9 at Paia Community Center; 6 to 8 p.m. April 10 at the West Maui Senior Center in Lahaina; and 6 to 8 p.m. April 11 at the Velma McWayne Santos Community Center in Wailuku.

At the meetings, the Maui Metropolitan Planning Organization will present a draft list of 2019-22 projects, which would be supported through the Transportation Improvement Program federal aid. Those projects include Kaupakalua Road pavement reconstruction; Makawao Avenue improvement; and traffic signal upgrades to Central Maui and part of the new Kihei north-south collector road.

On state highways, funds will help pay for shoreline erosion mitigation; safety improvements on Kula Highway and North Kihei Road; Hana Highway bridge preservation; and Puunene Avenue improvements. Funding also would go toward Maui Bus improvement plans, including operations and vehicle replacement projects.

According to an announcement of the meetings, Maui is anticipated to receive $100 million in Federal Highway Administration funds over the next four years. That funding would be matched with $24 million in county and state funds. Safety and repairs to existing roads and bridges are priority for federal funding, but construction of new roads and bicycle and pedestrian pathways also are included.

“The Maui MPO Technical Advisory Committee and Policy Board considered public input to help narrow down the list of projects to a program we can afford in the next four years,” said Maui planning organization Executive Director Lauren Armstrong. “We heard strong public support for solutions to traffic congestion, especially in Paia and West Maui, as well as requests for more bicycle and pedestrian paths and improved bus service.”

The April workshops follow up on community meetings hosted by the planning organization in February. During those sessions, members of the public completed surveys to rank the priority of projects proposed by the county of Department of Public Works and state Department of Transportation.

“We value the community’s input on these important projects, and urge you to stay involved with the MPO planning process,” said Maui planning organization Policy Board chairwoman and Maui County Council Member Stacy Crivello. “We have an opportunity to advocate for Maui’s priorities and ensure that we plan wisely for our fair share of federal transportation funding.”

The four-year draft list will not include projects such as the Paia relief route, the realignment of Honoapiilani Highway or extension of the Lahaina bypass to Kaanapali.

For information about the Paia road, the state Transportation Department will hold a public meeting from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. April 5 at Kaunoa Senior Center in Spreckelsville.
