  1. Rosa Sosa says

    No. No. No. Just no! This would be devastating to our island community! Leave this area alone! It’s already perfect!

  2. Jujubee says

    I think you may need to add a freeway or more roads if you are going to add more houses…

  3. Suzanne and Mark Albers says

    We will be attending the meeting at the MACC on Nov 18 at 9:30. There is some confusion as to the best time to be there. Will there be other items on the agenda? People do not want to spend the whole day there, but everyone we know is upset about this irresponsible development project and want to do all they can to stop it.

  4. repus says

    Traffic is already horrible to & from the west side without adding all of these new residential areas, not to mention hotel(s?); where will they be going for their jobs, shopping & other everyday needs, & how do they get there? Where will their waste go, & how is this going to effect & impact the reef & other ocean life? This all seems like a bad idea for the island, to me.

  5. Vanessa Benoit says

    This is absolutely disgusting

  6. Donna Brown says

    Bad all around.
    Sewage treatment plant- right next to the ocean.
    Not close to town, people will have to commute everywhere.
    Traffic already at a standstill every day.
    Island infrastructure can’t handle a new town.

  7. Bill Huhta says

    Keep me updated!

  8. Hillary Palmer says

    What are their plans to mitigate the traffic problems that all these houses will bring. It already takes 3 hours to get from the west side to Kahului in rush hour.
