Public invited to open house and presentation on Kūlanihāko‘i High School overpass

A legally required GSPC ( over or under) will provide alternative

KĪHEI – The Hawaiʻi State Department of Education (HIDOE) is inviting interested community members and parents to an open house and presentation to provide an update on the Kūlanihāko‘i High School pedestrian overpass across Piʻilani Highway at Kūlanihāko‘i Street that will serve the community and the school.

The meeting presentation will review progress made on the pedestrian grade-separated overpass since a September 2022 community open house identifying crossing alternatives. An environmental assessment for the project is underway and the draft is expected to be available by the end of the calendar year.

The open house will be held on Wednesday, October 25 at Kūlanihāko‘i High School cafeteria/multi-purpose room (Building D) from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., with the presentation at 5 p.m. HIDOE and Hawaiʻi State Department of Transportation representatives and project consultants will be available to answer questions and receive public input.
