Beginning on July 6, 2015, traffic flow improvements will be made to ease congestion on Kapolei Parkway at the intersection of Fort Barette Road, fronting Kapolei High School.

Kapolei Parkway lanes will be modified between Kunehi Street and Maluohai Street in both directions approaching the Fort Barrette Road intersection. Existing left-turn-only lanes onto Fort Barrette Road will be modified to allow left turns and straight movements to improve traffic flow and reduce queue lengths.

Kapolei_Regional_Park_cropped

Kapolei Regional Park serves as home to many sports and recreation teams, and is heavily used by residents, families and community members. However, the limited parking stalls in the Park are inadequate to support the community and park users have continued to reach out to us regarding the difficulties they encounter when looking for parking.

That is why Councilmember Pine introduced Resolution 15-171, to urge City administration to conduct a feasibility study on the addition of 100 parking stalls within the Park and obtaining the use of alternative parking stalls that are available but not used on weekends at nearby local businesses for users of the park.

Resolution 15-171, CD1 was recently passed at the Parks, Community and Customer Services Committee. Your support and testimonies are much needed at the upcoming July 8, 2015 City Council meeting at Kapolei Hale, where Resolution 15-171 will be up for adoption. Feel free to call (808) 768-5001 or email kmpine@honolulu.gov.

 

In our growing community, new homes, roads and infrastructure are emerging and providing places to live for our Leeward families. For years, members of District One suffered because when these roads and infrastructure were built because the City did not accept them in a timely manner, causing them to deteriorate without maintenance or repair.   “Leeward communities have waited too long for these basic city services, and because the City did not streamline its road acceptance process earlier, that wait turned from months to years, and was unacceptable,” said Councilmember Pine.   Responding to the community’s concerns, Councilmember Pine introduced Resolution 15-11 and 15-12 which shined light on long-delayed road safety and maintenance improvements in the Villages of Kapolei, the Mehana Subdivision and the Kahiwelo Subdivision in Makakilo, forcing the City to reevaluate how quickly it processes and accepts road improvements, now bringing about change to our communities that has waited for years for the city to take ownership of its roads.

Councilmember Pine and Greg Peterson (resident of Villages of Kapolei), who attended the Council’s public hearing and helped illustrate the need for road maintenance in Kapolei.

 

Councilmember Pine is proud to announce that she has secured funding to pave the roads in the Villages of Kapolei.  Residents have expressed their frustrations about the decades of inaction due to the City and the State disagreeing about who should fix these roads.

 

Councilmember Pine added several Kapolei roads to the Capital Improvement Budget for the rehabilitation of streets, including streets within the Villages of Kapolei, Kamokila Boulevard, and Kapolei Parkway.  This work includes repaving and repairing road hazards as necessary.  These specific streets include:

 

  • Streets within the Villages of Kapolei, including streets within the Kumuiki, Aeloa, Aeloa Terrace, Villas at Aeloa, Senior Residence at Kapolei, Senior Residence at Kapolei 2, Malanai, Malanai Iki, Kekuilani Palms, Kekuilani Villas, Kekuilani Courts, Kekuilani Gardens, Makalii II, Iwalani, Makalii, Kulalani Village, Nohona at Kapolei, Pae Ko Gardens, Kealakai at Kapolei, Malu’Ohai, Villas at Maluohai, Kapolei Ho’Olimalima, Kapolei Kai, Kaupe’a, Nohona II at Kapolei, and Nohona III at Kapolei subdivisions between Farrington Highway and Kapolei Parkway;

 

  • Kamokila Boulevard, between Manawai Street and Roosevelt Avenue; and

 

  • Kapolei Parkway, between Renton Road and Keoneula Boulevard.

 

Kapolei residents have waited long for these roads to be fixed and are finally getting their voices heard.  This amendment highlights Councilmember Pine’s commitment to improving the conditions of our roads and making our communities safer for our families and keiki.
