County Project Plans Concrete Sidewalks Along Bridal and Vival Streets

The Maui County Housing and Land Use Committee reconvened on August 20, 2025, to continue discussions from previous meetings held on August 5 and 6. The primary focus of this session was on infrastructure improvements related to sidewalk connectivity in the county.

The meeting began with a discussion about the need for sidewalks along a portion of the County Street frontage. Committee members emphasized the importance of providing safe walking paths for residents, particularly to enhance access to local destinations such as Bridal. It was noted that existing sidewalks are already present at the corner of Vival Street, allowing pedestrians to walk from there to the dirt areas that require development.

Further discussions clarified the layout of the project site, specifically addressing the placement of concrete curbs and gutters. The committee reviewed the existing conditions along Vival Street and Kane Street, where dirt sidewalks currently exist. Plans were confirmed to install concrete sidewalks in these areas to improve pedestrian access.

The committee members expressed satisfaction with the proposed improvements, highlighting the significance of enhancing connectivity for residents. The meeting concluded with a consensus on the importance of these infrastructure upgrades, which are expected to facilitate better access to public transit and local amenities.

Overall, the session underscored the committee's commitment to improving pedestrian infrastructure in Maui County, with specific plans for sidewalk enhancements moving forward.
