Members of the Hawaii Community Development Authority on September 5, 2007 approved the expenditure of $250,000 of Kalaeloa Capital Improvement Project funds to design and construct life safety improvement projects in the Kalaeloa Community Development District.  These improvements will address safety conditions that need immediate attention.  Since becoming open to the public, roadways, parks, beach areas, and other publicly accessible areas in Kalaeloa have fallen into disrepair resulting in vandalism, arson and motor vehicle accidents.  The improvements are necessary to respond to the need for maintenance and public safety especially since use of the area is increasing.  Appropriations designated by the 2007 State Legislature will be used to accomplish projects such as:

• Installing sidewalks to new City subdivision standards
• Improving/installing streetlights on Roosevelt Avenue, Renton Road Extension, and Coral Seas Road
• Installing pavement markers and signs on Coral Seas Road (along s-curve) and on Roosevelt Avenue (along curves along Honouliuli Wastewater Treatment Plant in Kalaeloa)
• Installing vehicle radar speed signs as traffic calming devices in the Roosevelt Avenue “Pride Field” area and on Coral Seas Road (before the S-curve).

^{The plan is to erect a streetlight mechanism and other safety features at the S-Curve on Coral Seas Road.}

^{The installation of a streetlight mechanism and other safety features at Roosevelt Avenue and the Renton Road Extension is also planned.}

These initial projects are the first group of life safety needs identified for Kalaeloa by the Kalaeloa Public Safety (KPS) workgroup that was organized to focus on public safety issues in the District.  KPS consists of representatives from City and County agencies (Department of Transportation Services, Department of Facility Maintenance, Department of Design and Construction); State Department of Transportation; Hawaii Public Housing Authority; Navy Region Hawaii/Security; Honolulu Police Department, U. S. Coast Guard; Hawaii Army National Guard; Federal Fire Department, and Hawaii Community Development Authority.
