Meeting on Uhu`e Town Core project set for Wednesday, Sept. 12
LIHU`E — The County of Kauai will hold an open house and presentation on
Wednesday, Sept. 12, to provide an update on the LThu`e Town Core Mobility and Revitalization
project.
The meeting will be held from 5 to 7:30 p.m., at the Kauai War Memorial Convention
Hall, in LThu`e.
Officials will provide a status report including an overview of the construction phases and
work anticipated to be completed by late 2019. Presentations will be made by representatives of
the County of Kauai and Kiewit Construction.
The LThu`e Town Core Mobility and Revitalization project will improve safety for all users,
including those driving, walking, bicycling, and taking transit. It will increase the number of full-
time parking spaces along Rice Street to support economic development. The project includes
streetscape improvements, development of a transit hub, new and expanded sidewalks, a
shared -use path, improved bus stops and bike facilities, safer pedestrian crossings, and
dedicated on -street parking.
The project is being funded in part by the Transportation Investment Generating
Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant program. In 2015, the County of Kauai was awarded this
$15.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The county will fund an
additional $2 million to the project.
