Community design workshops scheduled for West Kauai
LIHU'E — As part of the West Kaua'i Community Plan process, community design
workshops are scheduled for Hanapepe- `Ele`ele, Waimea, and Kekaha. The events will
examine the form and character of West Kaua`i's town centers including issues related to
housing, shared spaces, connectivity, and traffic circulation.
Participants will have the opportunity to discuss what degree of change is desired or
expected for each community, and the ways in which places can be preserved, evolved, or
transformed over the next 20 years.
"I encourage community members to actively participate in the workshops," said Deputy
Planning Director Ka`aina Hull. "Now is the time to shape the future of your town and express
what you want to see."
Each workshop will include a walk audit, an opening presentation, an open design
studio, an open house, and a closing presentation. The schedule is as follows:
