The City and County of Honolulu released the SDEIS for Ala Moana Regional Park on February 8, 2019 (view here). Mālama Moana is currently focusing on the following SDEIS proposed actions:
Widening the makai pathway to develop a shared-use path which will remove open grassy areas and poses safety issues for pedestrians who will have to share the pathway with cyclists
Reconfiguring mauka parking into perpendicular stalls which poses safety and access issues
Developing a one-acre “world-class” playground with zip-lines and a splash pad that will utilize valuable space without public input and proper review
Developing a dog park which poses health and safety issues and also takes away open space from existing uses
Replenishing the beach shoreline with sand dredged from outside the reef which may affect the surf breaks known as Courts, Concessions, and Baby Haleiwa
The public has 45 days until March 25th, 2019 to respond to the SDEIS regarding their concerns and recommendations. Letters (via email) may be sent to: alamoanaeis@bchdesign.com
