95 phases, should phased/segmented construction be deemed 96 necessary. 97 98 B. Feasibility and Preliminary Design Study: Revised Northern Alignment 99 and Terminus of Keauhou-Kahului Parkway (Aliʻi Hwy). Although an 100 element of Project Recommendation No. 1 above, the Committee 101 particularly recommends a comprehensive, multi-parcel feasibility and 102 preliminary design analysis to realign the northern portion of the proposed 103 Parkway/Highway, so as to keep the northern section of this highway and 104 its connection with Queen Kaʻahumanu Highway south of the flood plain 105 laying within the ahupuaʻa of Kahului and thus to be aligned within or st 106 adjacent to the ahupuaʻa of Puapuaʻa 1 (See attached map). 107 108 I. This realigned, new northern alignment and terminus with Queen 109 Kaʻahumanu Highway is recommended as a means to reduce the 110 overall project development cost by: 111 112 a. avoiding the Waiʻaha flood plain which the current plan requires 113 crossing with multiple bridges/culverts both above and below 114 Kuakini Highway, and 115 116 b. Avoiding the need to construct a new, high capacity intersection at 117 Queen Kaʻahumanu Highway within the short intermediate section 118 between its existing intersections with Puapua`anui Street 119 (Pualani Estates subdivision) and Hualālai Road. 120 121 II. The Committee recognizes the multiple ownerships of parcels within 122 the proposed realignment area, and the possibility of conflicting 123 roadways plans among such parcels with regard to effecting the 124 desired thoroughfare, and thus wishes to emphasize the need for 125 comprehensive engagement and planning with and among the subject 126 landowners, above and below Kuakini Highway, in order to produce 127 the desired feasibility and preliminary design product. The Committee 128 also acknowledges the pending entitlement status for development of 129 the now vacant and undeveloped parcels that would be transected by 130 the proposed realignment. Consequently, the Committee 131 recommends that this northern section feasibility-design analysis have 132 the highest priority within the undertaking of the above-listed Aliʻi 133 Parkway/highway project. 134 135 C. Final Design of Kealakaʻa St. Extension to Hina Lani St. 136 137 I. The Committee is advised that preliminary design and right-of-way 138 acquisition agreements have been completed between the 139 landowners and the County for this southernmost segment of a highly 140 desirable new arterial-collector street to eventually run from Kalaoa 141 (Kona Palisades, Coastview, Wonderview, Highlands and other 142 interstitial subdivisions) to the regional public school complex 143 (Kealakehe Elementary, Intermediate and High schools). This 144 segment (northern extension of Kealakaʻa St. to Hina Lani Street) is Page 3 of 5
