County of Hawaii Mayor Kimo Alameda will share plans regarding a solution for parking along Alii Drive with the public at noon Saturday at the Malama Kailua Village community event.

The proposal is to add on-street parking by converting Alii Drive into a one-way street between Kailua pier and Hualalai Road. The pattern would then allow traffic to move in a south-bound direction after the pier, providing vehicles exiting the pier the option to turn left or right.

“The one-way conversion would act as a pilot program to address parking needs for downtown businesses,” Alameda said in a county release. “If the project is successful, we would seek approval from the County Council to adopt the new traffic pattern within 90 days. We encourage residents to join us this Saturday to provide their input on how we can improve parking and traffic flow in the business area.”

The Malama Kailua Village event is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Hale Halawai.
