KAILUA – The City and County of Honolulu Department of Transportation Services (DTS) will be restricting parking in Lanikai between 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., starting tomorrow, Saturday, January 11th in an effort to reduce traffic congestion for residents along the Lanikai-Kaʻōhao area. The parking restriction will remain in effect daily, until the end of Phase 8 of the Kalapawai project, tentatively scheduled for mid-March, 2025.
No parking will be allowed on all streets and shoulders of Mokulua and ʻAʻalapapa Drives in Lanikai from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. starting Saturday, January 11th.
Parking will also be restricted on cross-streets connecting Mokulua and ʻAʻalapapa Drives.
Visitors may consider other beaches along Oʻahu’s east shore or choose to ride TheBus Route 671 from Kailua Town for convenient alternative access to Lanikai.
DTS will leave in place temporary “sawhorse” type signs on affected streets in Lanikai to warn drivers of the parking restrictions.
Residents traversing through this area should allow for extra time to get through Kalapawai and expect congestion during construction times.
Additional information on the project, construction schedules, detour patterns and remaining phases can be found here: https://www.kalapawaiproject.com/.
This federally-funded project will include various improvements, including an upgraded roundabout with higher-quality materials, new sidewalks, raised pedestrian crossings in the immediate vicinity of the roundabout, and new drainage infrastructure to address frequent storm water ponding. Drainage infrastructure will include permeable pavements, trench drains, pre-treatment tanks and rain gardens.
