Kauai Multimodal Plan

Using a fedreal grant, the County of Kauai has retained the services of Charlier Associates, Inc. to prepare a comprehensive Multimodal Transportation Plan. "Multimodal" means that public transit, walking, and bicycling are all considered when planning for future transportation needs. You can contribute to the information being collected for this plan by visiting www.movekauai.net.

Kaumuali‘i Highway Expansion

The roadway connection between Lihue and Puhi is in the process of being widened by the Hawaii State Department of Transportation (DOT) to accommodate two inbound lanes and two outbound lanes. Broad sidewalks are being be built on both sides of Kaumauali‘i Highway along this approximately two-mile stretch, and the bicycling accommodations along the Highway in this area are currently designed as "bike routes," similar to the designs we see elsewhere along our island's highways.

Kauai Path is advocating for a few changes to the pedestrian crosswalks and replacing the "bike routes" with "bike lanes," changes to better reflect the current "Complete Streets" approach embraced by the County of Kauai and the DOT.
