Take Action
Waikōloa Village has one paved way out. Below is what we are asking of the community this month, what we have already asked of officials, and how you can add your voice.
Updated July 14, 2026
Nothing Open Right Now
The Current Ask
Testimony windows open with very little notice. The County posts an agenda, and the community usually has a few days to respond. If you want to be ready when that happens, get on the alert list now, and we will send you the item, the deadline, and a sample letter you can adapt.
Understand Before You Act
Waikōloa Second Road FAQ
Why isn't there a second road? Who is supposed to build it? Was the developer ever actually required to? We put the answers in one place, with the source documents attached, so you do not have to take anyone's word for it.
How to testify to the County Council
Written or in person, both count. It does not have to be long, and you do not have to be an expert. Here is where to send it, what the deadlines look like, and what actually makes a comment land.
The public record
An archive of the letters, comments, and pieces of testimony we have submitted to the County, the State, and our federal delegation is posted here, along with the responses we have received back. We publish all of it for three reasons. So the people who support us can see exactly the action their support generates. So anyone researching this issue can use the data and the legal history we have already assembled. And so that if you are writing your own letter, you have a model to start from rather than a blank page.

Other Ways to Help
1 minute
TELL ONE NEIGHBOR
Send them the FAQ. Most people in the village know the road is a problem and have no idea how much of the history is documented.
5 minutes
PUT IT ON YOUR CAR
Second Road for Waikōloa magnets, shirts, and hats. Every one of them is a small reminder to everyone stuck in the same traffic you are.
About 90 minutes
COME TO A MEETING
County meetings, community meetings, and our own. Showing up in a room is still the thing officials notice most.
2 minutes
CHIP IN
We are a 501(c)(3) run by neighbors and we take no salary. Donations cover printing, filing, research, and the occasional trip to Hilo to sit in a Council chamber or Oahu to meet with legislators.
Congresswoman Jill Tokuda visited the north end of Waikōloa Village to see wildfire risk and evacuation constraints firsthand, including the long-planned Waikōloa Village second road that remains unbuilt despite years of study and growth.
