“Hana Highway Traffic Management” on Infrastructure & Transportation (IT) Committee agenda

The Maui County Council Infrastructure and Transportation (IT) Committee has scheduled “Hana Highway Traffic Management” on their agenda – Monday, June 28, 9:00 am.  Attached is the agenda for the meeting with links and information.
 
CM Sinenci has requested much information about Hana Highway management and some of the obstacles that have been encountered in the past. We hope to have definitive information before the meeting.
 
Also, there is a petition being circulated requesting the closure of Hana Highway 360 to all non-essential travel because of the issues created by the construction, numbers of visitors as well as illegal parking, etc.  Here is a link for your information. I am wondering how the business community feels about this option and the possible negative impacts on the businesses or maybe businesses are “to busy” and would welcome a respite. Not sure how this would affect employment/unemployment, etc. This is clearly a difficult situation and something needs to be done for sure. 
 
We are looking at enforcement options which may assist with the illegal parking.
