Objectives:
To determine the social, environmental, technical, and economic impacts, costs, and benefits of
realigning Farrington Highway mauka of Makaha Beach Park
To make a recommendation as to the feasibility of realigning the roadway based on a technical
evaluation
Project Description:
The Makaha Beach Park Master Plan was completed in 1998 for the City & County of Honolulu Department
of Parks and Recreation. A concept that was illustrated in that plan was a realignment of Farrington
Highway mauka of Makaha Beach Park. The plan noted that a draft detailed project report and
Environmental Impact Statement was prepared for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in November 1985;
and the preferred proposal was to realign Farrington Highway on the mauka side of the proposed project
site. The stated benefits of this realignment were: 1) increased recreational use, 2) expansion of the beach,
3) additional parking, 4) elimination of highway repairs due to beach erosion and storm waves, and 5)
insured access in and out of the west end of the island of Oahu. The realignment of Farrington Highway is
included in the current Oahu Regional Transportation Plan as a long-range project. However, the 1998
master plan only presented the idea as a concept; it is unclear if the Hawaii Department of Transportation
was ever involved in the development of the concept; and the 1985 Draft EIS is now almost 30 years old.
This project will re-examine the realignment concept and estimate the potential impacts, costs, benefits,
and feasibility of realigning Farrington Highway.
The consultant will work under the direction of a multi-jurisdictional project working group, which will be
formed and supported by OahuMPO.
Per Federal regulation (23 CFR 450.320), any congestion impacts will be analyzed using OahuMPO’s
congestion management process. Additionally, the study must be consistent with 23 CFR 450.318 –
Transportation planning studies and project development. Regional performance measures, if available,
should also be used in the evaluation of alternatives. Though this study is not intended to be an
environmental document, MAP-21 Section 1310 encourages the integration of planning and environmental
review to the extent possible. (Also see 23 CFR Appendix A to part 450).
Work Products/Outcomes:
An updated estimate of the potential impacts, costs, and benefits of realigning Farrington Highway
mauka of Makaha Beach Park
A recommendation or set of recommendations based on technical analysis and evaluation
regarding next steps.
Project Justification:
The realignment of Farrington Highway is supported by some portion of the public; and it is identified in the
Oahu Regional Transportation Plan 2035 as a long-range project. However, there is no recent analysis or
information as to the impacts, costs, benefits, or feasibility of realigning Farrington Highway.
