CAI participated in a planning charrette in June 2004 to help create a development/preservation vision for Greater Kapalua, and led a subsequent six-day effort in October 2004 to plan an initial 3.2-mile section of the Kapalua Coastal Trail.
Key Project Recommendations

- Provide alternatives to the Highway 30 roadway corridor whenever feasible, and respect the privacy of adjacent properties.
- Construct a rugged, natural surface hiking trail that will traverse lava outcrops, wind through heavily vegetated areas, and climb from sea level to over 100 feet.
- Take advantage of pristine views of Honokahua, Mokuleia and Honolua bays.
