The event is scheduled for July 1 from 3 to 4 p.m. and will mark the completion of the Front Street Railing and Walkway Project in Lahaina.<\/p>\n

The project included repairs to approximately 1,450 feet of sidewalk and the replacement of about 700 feet of railing along the makai side of Front Street between Lahainaluna Road and Dickenson Street. New light poles, benches, bike racks and landscaping features were also installed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe completion of this project marks another important step forward in Lahaina\u2019s recovery and the ongoing effort to bring commercial activity back to the heart of Lahaina town,\u201d Mayor Richard Bissen said.<\/p>\n

County officials said the project is part of broader efforts to restore and improve Front Street following the August 2023 wildfires. Previous work included repairs to the seawall, beach access areas and additional sections of sidewalk.<\/p>\n
