Various county plans have called for the closing of ‘Eiwa Street, which is located between the Lihu‘e Civic Center parking lot and the historic County Building, and the transformation of what appears to be a portion of the Big Save Store parking lot into a park.
Former Mayor JoAnn Yukimura and former Mayor Maryanne Kusaka had both suggested closing ‘Eiwa Street to traffic, as a way to encourage walking, create a park-like setting between the two main buildings housing county-government offices, and bring the community together.
Closing the street also would have allowed government workers to easily travel between the historic County Building, which began operation in 1913 and is the oldest operating government building in Hawai‘i, and the Lihu‘e Civic Center.
