LET'S STOP URBAN SPRAWL!

It's time to say enough already. Let's preserve our farmland for future generations

Vs.

Some of the biggest developers in Hawaii are aggressively trying to develop two new massive urban sprawl projects, which would eliminate some of the most productive farmlands in the world.

What is proposed at Koa Ridge?

Over 5,000 houses, a hotel, and commercial buildings between Waipio and Waiawa and Mililiani along the H2
Construction mega-development not located near the proposed rail system

What is proposed at Ho`opili?

Development of over 1,500 acres of agricultural land near Makakilo along the H1
Low density houses (5,100 units), medium density homes (5,200 units), high density residential (1,450), and commercial buildings (approximately 200 acres)

How would this impact you?

Adds thousands of cars to the commuting traffic nightmare on O`ahu
Overcrowds schools and facilities
Threatens our largest drinking water source by over-pumping
Destroys open space and scenic views
Paves over prime agricultural land
See what folks are saying: read the Club's media advisory celebrating a legal victory in the Koa Ridge matter; read the Club's media advisory announcing its intervention in the Ho`opili matter; an article by Anthony Aalto and Robert Harris; and an article by Kioni Dudley.

What can you do?

Send the Land Use Commission an email saying enough is enough. Refer to Docket No. A06-771 (Ho`opili).

Enough is enough already. Let's protect our farms.
