Public meeting planned for proposed traffic improvements near Hilo Harbor
The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation is hosting a public meeting from 5 to 7 p.m. today (July 5) to provide information about its proposed land acquisition for traffic improvements on Kalanianaʻole Street adjacent to Hilo Harbor.
The meeting will be at Keaukaha Elementary School located at 240 Desha Ave. in Hilo.
The proposed improvements include construction of a dedicated turn lane from Kalanianaʻole Street into Hilo Harbor and construction of stacking lanes for semi-trailers within Hilo Harbor. Acquisition of five properties along Kalanianaʻole Street would be needed for this project.
The draft environmental assessment for the land acquisition can be found online.
