For The Maui News
As we embark on a new council term, I am excited and honored to serve the people of Maui County once again. Here in my third term, I continue to work with my fellow council members toward solutions that prioritize safety and health for our community as our economy takes steps to reopen.
I look forward to a productive term as chair of the Infrastructure and Transportation Committee. This committee has oversight of the Department of Public Works, the Department of Transportation and the Department of Environmental Management’s Wastewater Reclamation and Solid Waste Divisions.
The Department of Transportation’s priorities include relocating the Central Maui Transit Hub from the Queen Ka’ahumanu Center to Vevau Street, also in Kahului. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
