I'm not a fan of the curving or angled roadways. I think they're distracting for drivers and they change the historic road footprint. I like the straight road the best. I also don't like the idea of a no car pedestrian mall.

Delivery trucks could be allowed in the early morning hours to make their deliveries, but all other traffic is not needed and should be banned from Front St. There are plenty of other streets to drive down. Making Front St a pedestrian mall would be incredible. Everyone could enjoy the businesses and the coastal views, without the noise and danger of cars driving by all the time. What an opportunity for this town!

That's why Palm Trees are the perfect trees to line streets and sidewalks with! Their roots do not do any damage or push sidewalks up, etc. You see them lining most streets and sidewalks in San Diego and they don't create any issues. I suggest using Palm trees where trees are needed.

Question
I didn’t see any mention of undergrounding power lines along Front Street in any HECO presentations or plans, although I understand there’s a long-term plan to underground 2.5 miles on Lahainaluna Road and other areas. Is there any plan or timeline for undergrounding the power lines on Front Street, or is that just a hopeful idea from the county?

Same question- weren't all of the pilings removed from ocean??

Does square indicate that businesses will be rebuilt on the ocean side of Front Street?

Straight road and wide sidewalks please! That way it is straightforward for markets and vendors to set up outside. More trees would be nice too.

I don’t recall there being speeding troubles down Front street before(?). So I’m not sure I see the benefit of a raised crosswalk. I therefore prefer the road to remain consistent. Raised crosswalk seems like it will need more regular maintenance. Please no speed bills either!

I believe zero traffic on Front street is not practical. However having zero traffic days on weekends might be a good plan, or perhaps zero traffic every day between noon and 9:00pm. This allows trucks and cars to deliver to businesses conveniently in the morning while also offering a safer environment for visitors during no-car hours.

Suggestion
Has any consideration been made to make Front street a 1-way road? This could allow space to be taken for widening the sidewalks while still allowing some car traffic to reach stores and restaurants for easy drop offs.

Suggestion
Chicane is actually more dangerous for drivers who drive and gawk. It will happen so better to be more straight road than not.

Suggestion
Trees can be a nuisance. Roots invade infrastructure breaks up sidewalks and streets. Ideally would scrap trees for small planting boxes to separate vehicles from pedestrians on mountain side and ocean side. Allow street parking both sides as before and consider one way traffic. Seating areas on ocean side make sense. 6 foot sidewalk adjacent to storefronts would be great but we all managed on the original 4 foot sidewalks. Consider some sail shading over some not all seating areas. Provide additional parking zones within a few blocks. Consider art installations that enhances ocean views but does not obstruct views. Provide rideshare stations / hotel van pick up/drop off and/valet parking options for ease of accommodating arrivals, lessen single car trips.

Interactive seating is fun and might even help keep off the bums. I was in Seattle recently and the swings along their boardwalk were a great addition. Also! Please don't forget the need for maintained public bathrooms, a couple small ones along Front Street would be greatly appreciated!

I would rather see a wider sidewalk on the makai side of the road than outdoor dining on the mauka side right next to the road. Especially if mauka side buildings are two stories- put the dining upstairs for a clear view over the road and downstairs within their building or have retail storefronts downstairs. Businesses should utilize loading zones on Luakini and side/back roads rather than Front Street during daylight hours or between 8-8 or something like that.

I think making Front St as "Pedestrian Only" on the 700 and 800 blocks would really make this a special place for locals and tourists to gather, spend money and enjoy the Maui experience. Keeping cars out of the way makes everyone feel safe and creates a walkable "mall" that people can shop, eat or just sit and watch the beautiful Maui sunsets

I think this nice curve look would add a nice look to Front St

Question
Do we have to have a road going down front street? It doesn’t fit. There isn’t enough room.
EdD Boy Sep 30 2025 at 7:25PM on page 2

This seems pretty good too.

this second concept is really interesting and i like the ample space for outdoor dining that this and concept one have.

Make Front Street for pedestrians only with a bike lane.

Question
What is the plan if the ocean front properties do not want to sell? Are they going to be able to re-build?
JandB Sep 30 2025 at 3:50PM on page 3
Suggestion
No more vehicles on Front Street. Just pedestrians an include a bike lane.
Christine Camp Sep 30 2025 at 3:42PM on page 3
Suggestion
Two way streets is a must for the shops to survive. Visibility from auto traffic helps with the foot traffic. We should leave it as it was.

It wont let me leave a comment for waterfront poster but a boardwalk out like a pier could be nice. Wide enough so it can have some benches and people can enjoy sunsets.
