Work begins on Malaekahana bike path
After a two month delay over liability insurance, construction on the Malaekahana bike path has officially begun. “As the coordinating association between private businesses, volunteers and landowner Hawaii Reserves,” said Pane Meatoga, Jr., Laie Community Association president, “we needed to get liability insurance in place before any work began. That took much longer than we expected or wanted. ”
Now, as seen in the video, work is underway. “We appreciate J.C. Chang’s volunteer work on the backhoe to kick off this great community service project.” The new bike path will stretch along the mauka side of Kamehameha Highway between Lā‘ie and Kahuku and is the first project to come out of the Envision Lā‘ie process.
Volunteer work schedules will be coordinated by LCA board member, Kevin Schlag. Those wishing to assist should e-mail Kevin at itcouldbekevin@gmail.com.
