Road repairs on South Kihei Road from January 2024 mud flood continue this week

  3/19/24 #kihei Yesterday morning a crew from the Highways Division of the Department of Public Works was at work on the makai side of South Kihei Road (SKR) just South of the Kūlanihāko‘i stream. This part of the roadway was washed away back in January and has had barricades in the bike lane of SKR ever since. Now about 2 months later we seem workers taking actions to fill this puka,...

Why can’t we get the North South Collector Road across Kihei or just in North Kihei?

  3/17/24 HAPPY SAINT PATRICK’S DAY!  Do we need the luck of the Irish to get the missing segments constructed?   While the North-South Collector Road (NSCR) plan addressed in the 1998 community plan was to extend across the entire Kihei sub area,  we are just examining the next two phases between Waipuilani and Ka‘ono‘ulu.  For over a decade various County...

It is a different source, but North Kihei gets yet more flooding

  2/8/24 #kihei North Kihei cannot get a break from flooding. At least this time the flooding is clean water, not the “mud flood” stormwater variety, but as it gushes over the road on to private property, you do not want it in your home.  And it wastes a lot of potable water when a major pipe bursts. The County has asked South Maui to conserve water for 24 hours due to the...

Public Works (DPW) working for public fire safety in Kihei

  1/3/24 #kihei UPDATE   At almost this same exact location, this could  have been yet another fireworks tragedy. Perhaps because of the brush abatement, the lack of wind,   quicker neighborhood actions, some luck or a combination of all of these. 12/31/23 was scorched earth and a damaged fence.  Once again firefighters lacked a key to the County gate at...

County work in Waipuilani stream gulch

  12/13/23  #kihei# Early this afternoon, we came across the Maui County crew activity makai of the highway, but were unclear what specific action they were performing there With the trades blowing, this stirred up dirt and silt so we chose not to stop there to determine what they were doing, but we expect the residents in area were experiencing unpleasant conditions.    ...

Final 2023 membership meeting on hot topic has low turnout

11/22/23  #kihei Maybe it was because it was Thanksgiving week? Maybe because it has been many months since Kihei has been flooded? Maybe folks are only focused on wildfires? Whatever the reason, there were a lot of empty seats at the Pro Arts Playhouse for an outstanding presentation directed at stormwater flooding, but wildfire matters are certainly intertwined with what is being done to...
