West Maui’s long-time residents, tourists, and day workers alike
have spent hours sitting in their cars, frustrated, as they ask the
ubiquitous modern-day question, "why can’t they do something
about this traffic?" Thinking about Traffic in West Maui explores
possibilities for solving this very complex and mundane problem by
compiling thought experiments from experts in planning,
transportation, engineering, community organizing, and law. Each
author addresses a community-originated proposal for a solution to
West Maui’s traffic woes: encouraging more people to use
bicycles, widening roads on an alternate route, tunneling a new
road through the mountains, implementing rideshare carpooling
applications, managing the retreat of coastal roads, and
constructing a ground-level light-rail system from Napili to
Kahului airport. Readers will appreciate the patient attention to
practical details alongside informed-analyses of the economic and
technological landscapes in which they are nested. Thinking about
Traffic in West Maui is singular in its reasoned, interdisciplinary
approach to a practical, place-based problem. The chapters and
findings detail a process that illuminate West Maui traffic as
comprised of a host of interconnected issues-affordable housing,
overtourism, displacement from ahupuaʻa-based traditions, sea
level rise, international migration, international corporate
markets, class inequality, and, most of all, the contours of the
physical environment of West Maui. Maui residents, tourists,
academics, and everyone who has thought seriously about how to
optimize traffic patterns will enjoy the novel, perceptive
approaches taken in each chapter.
