Residents are being asked to provide input for a multi-use trail for the communities of Waimea and Kekaha.
The Kaua‘i Path is working with a Citizens Advisory Committee from Kaua‘i’s Westside to develop a report containing ideas from residents, states a release from the Kaua‘i Path.
Residents, especially those from the communities of Waimea and Kekaha, are invited to participate in public input meetings scheduled for the first week of October.
The Waimea meeting will be held Oct. 3 at the Waimea Theatre from 6 to 8 p.m.
Kekaha Neighborhood Center is the site for the meeting scheduled for Oct. 5 from 6 to 8 p.m.
During the public meetings, residents will have the opportunity to work in small groups to discuss possible options for the multi-use trail system as well as complete individual questionnaires.
Light refreshments will be provided at both meetings.
For those who cannot attend these two scheduled meetings, questionnaires will be available on the Kaua‘i Path website (www.kauaipath.org) on Oct. 7.
The online questionnaire can be completed online and submitted, or printed and faxed to 742-8334. Completed questionnaires can also be mailed to HECC Attn: West Side Path, 5556 Tapa Street, Koloa, HI 96456 by Oct. 21.
The multi-use trail system project for Waimea and Kekaha is made possible through funding from a Communities Putting Prevention to Work grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention administered by the State of Hawai‘i, Department of Health for efforts to combat the obesity epidemic in Hawai‘i.
Health and Education Communication Consultants has been engaged to prepare a Westside Path Alternatives Report to Kaua‘i Path at the completion of the public input process.

Anyone with special needs requiring an American Sign Language interpreter, or an auxiliary aid to participate in the meetings should contact Randall Blake at 635-8823, or oneislandguy@mac.com at least seven days in advance.
