HCR 203 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

URGING THE COUNTY OF MAUI TO PRIORITIZE THE DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING OF THE NORTHERN TERMINUS OF THE KIHEI NORTH-SOUTH COLLECTOR ROAD.

HCR 203 is a non-binding resolution urging Maui County to prioritize planning the northern terminus of the Kihei North-South Collector Road. It directly affects Maui County officials, including the Mayor, Public Works Department, and County Council, by requiring them to identify the northern terminus location and submit a status report by January 2026. The resolution cites ongoing traffic congestion, safety risks from bottlenecks, and projected population growth as reasons for urgency, noting that a $25 million federal grant (2023) hasn't advanced this critical segment. It does not create new law but requests collaboration with transportation planning groups to integrate the terminus with existing infrastructure.
