​The Maui Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), in coordination with the County’s Planning Department, invites you to join us for a week of community events for the West Maui Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Action Plan!
 
Between February 27 and March 3, we’ll host three public walking tours, a community meeting and open house, and project team office hours. More information about these activities is available below and on the project website (www.WestMauiCommunityCorridor.org).
 
Walking Tours
Our walking tours will address different accessibility and mobility challenges along the Community Corridor. Each tour will cover about a mile and last 90 minutes. As we walk, we’ll discuss opportunities for better connections and safety for people walking, rolling, biking, and taking the bus around the Keawe Street and Honoapiʻilani Hwy intersection or the Pioneer Mill area (a possible location for a future transit hub). Sign up for one of these tours now at www.WestMauiCommunityCorridor.org.  
 

• Monday, February 27, 4:00-5:30 p.m. — Hosted by Councilmember Tamara Paltin and including members of the Huliau Foundation, this sunset walk will tour the area of Keawe Street and Honoapiʻilani Highway. Meet in the Cannery Mall parking lot by the southern entrance to the mall.
• Thursday, March 2, 8:00-9:30 am. — Our second walk will tour the Pioneer Mill area, which is one possible location for a new West Maui Transit Hub. Meet in the parking lot at the Outlets of Maui. 
• Friday, March 3, 8:00-9:30 a.m. — With the participation of Managing Director Kekuhaipio Akana and our co-hosts, the Maui Bicycling League, we’ll return to the Keawe Street and Honoapiʻilani Highway area for a morning walk. Meet in the Cannery Mall parking lot by the southern entrance to the mall.

 
Community Open House & Office Hours
The walking tours will be complemented by a community open house, “office hours” with the project team, and targeted stakeholder and technical committee design sessions. These activities will help us shape a vision for the Community Corridor and begin to develop early project and program recommendations. We hope you’ll join us for an overview of what we’ve learned so far and an opportunity to provide feedback and ask questions at one of these events:
 

• Community Meeting & Open House on Tuesday, February 28, 6:00-8:00 p.m. — Join us at the Kaunoa Senior Services Center Main Hall (788 Pauoa Street) for a presentation of the project team’s work to date. We’ll discuss early findings related to affordable housing, transportation, and economic development, as well as other important opportunities for the Community Corridor. There will be activities to gather your input and time for you to talk with our team.
• Project “Office Hours” & Drop-In Session on Friday March 3 from 1:00-4:00 p.m. — We’ll wrap up the week by spending the afternoon at the Lāhainā Art Show at Cannery Mall (1221 Honoapi’ilani Highway). Stop by anytime for an informal overview of what we’ve learned through the week and to share more ideas with the team.

 
Please reach out with any questions, and visit our website for additional information about the Community Corridor. We look forward to your participation and input!
