Environmental Impact Statement: Hawaii County, HI

AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Intent.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FHWA is issuing this notice to advise the public that an 
environmental impact statement will be prepared for a proposed highway 
project in Hawaii County, Hawaii.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Michael A. Cook, Division Administrator, Federal Highway 
Administration, Box 50206, 300 Ala Moana Boulevard, Honolulu, Hawaii 
96850, Telephone: [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FHWA in cooperation with the Hawaii 
Department of Transportation and the County of Hawaii Department of 
Public Works will prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for a 
proposed widening and extension of a portion of Hawaii State Highway 
2000, Puainako Street. The proposed project will provide a highway 
connection between the Saddle Road (State Highway 200) and State 
Highway 11. The project entails (1) realignment and widening of the 
existing Puainako Street from 2 to 4 lanes; and (2) construction of a 
2-lane (future 4-lane), 4.6-mile extension of Puainako Street from 
Komohana Street, in a westerly direction, to Country Club Road in 
Kaumana.

    The purpose of this project is to improve arterial traffic flow of 
the State Highway System by providing a direct link between the 
existing Puainako Street (Highway 2000) and the Saddle Road (Highway 
200) and to alleviate congested and unsafe traffic conditions on 
Kaumana Drive. Alternatives being evaluated, include the ``no project'' 
alternative and two alternative alignments.
    Notice describing the proposed action and soliciting comments will 
be sent to appropriate Federal, State and local agencies and to private 
organizations and citizens who have expressed interest in this project. 
Interagency scoping meetings will be held as required.
    To ensure that the full range of issues relating to the proposed 
action are addressed and all significant issues identified, comments 
and suggestions are invited from all interested parties. Comments and 
questions concerning the proposed action should be directed to the FHWA 
at the address provided above.
