Two residential zones and one business zone in Lahaina will reopen to residents and property owners this weekend, Maui County announced Monday.
Restrictions will be lifted from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday for residential Zone 5G, which includes E Kuu Aku Lane, and Zone 7F, which includes Kenui Street and Wainee Street, as well as business Zone 7G, which includes Hinau Street, Limahana Place and Wili Ko Place.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has not completed the removal of hazardous materials in Zone 7G, so while business owners can access this area, they are highly encouraged to not sift in the area until the EPA has completed its assessment, the county said.
Reentry vehicle passes will be required and will be distributed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and Wednesday at the Lahaina Civic Center, the Maui County Kalana O Maui building lobby area and the Kako'o Maui office at Maui Mall. Two vehicle passes will be available per property owner, and two vehicle passes will be available per rental dwelling. Optional personal protective equipment kits will be available during the vehicle pass distribution.
After the first two days of assisted reentry, passage through the checkpoint will be available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily for area residents with a vehicle pass or ID.
Access to Zone 5G will be from the Lahaina Bypass to Keawe Street, then left on E Kuu Aku Lane. Zones 7F and 7G will be accessed through Kapunakea Street, with drivers turning left on Front Street and left on Kenui Street. All vehicles will exit at Honoapiilani Highway.
The following documents may be used to prove ownership or residency to receive a pass:
• Property deed/title or property tax records clearly showing the resident's name as the property owner. To access county tax records, visit www.mauipropertytax.com.
