SENATOR J. KALANI ENGLISH PRAISES JOINT WORK ON KAPOLEI NORTH-SOUTH ROAD INTERCHANGE

Chair of Transportation Committee encouraged by combined effort.

HONOLULU – Senator J. Kalani English (District 6 - Hana, East and Upcountry Maui, Moloka'i, Lana'i and Kaho'olawe), who serves as chair of the Senate Committee on Transportation, International and Intergovernmental Affairs, today praised the joint effort by the State Department of Transportation and the Hawai'i Legislature in working together to bring the Kapolei North-South Road Interchange project to fruition. The interchange was dedicated at a ceremony this morning.

"This interchange serves so many needs, and will have such a positive impact on Kapolei and surrounding communities, that I think it is important that we stop to acknowledge everyone who worked together to make it happen," said Senator English. "I want to personally recognize the administration, particularly Transportation Director Brennon Morioka, for working with the Legislature to make sure funding was in place, and that everything went smoothly. And of course, we cannot ignore the contribution of the federal government and our Congressional delegation in supporting our continued efforts to bring the people of Hawai'i what they need to improve their quality of life."

"To me, this is not just about Kapolei," Senator English continued. "It is about demonstrating how we can work together to meet serious challenges. This project is encouraging to me as we consider what our state faces in the future."
