This afternoon we see both locations at Wailaka and on both sides of the crossing of Kulanihako’i Stream gulch are almost repaired after last month’s mud floods
Looking South from Kaonoulu So Kihei Rd appears ready for vehicles
The makai edge of the Southbound lane is patched, but not completed
We see the more Northern spot is repaved
Riding high paving the “low road.”

How can the Hilton have been allowed to build so many structures including parking lots and on the ocean there when this area has always been a major flood zone. That tiny bridge is barely high enough to hold back the torrents of runoff from Haleakala. Why didnt’ they have to put in major infrastructure before building and also not be permitted to place so many structures on empty fields or beach front. Come on Maui County, Wise up!
Mahalo One major reason was the County Administration’s Maui Planning Commission continued to renew/extend their SMA permit SEE https://gokihei.org/environment/building-makai-of-south-kihei-road-in-2021 AND https://gokihei.org/environment/after-several-false-starts-real-activity-begins-at-maui-lu-site-this-monday
Looks like they just patching it up with a Band-Aid and not actually making the necessary improvements. So it looks like the same thing is going to happen next year perhaps even worse.
We agree that So Kihei Rd in No Kihei has a limited life. Combining erosion, sea level rise and storm water flooding, it is just a matter of time Wil the key missing segments of the Collector Rd be opened before that?
