COASTAL PATH UPDATE 10-21-2009
The Coast Pedestrian/Bike Path is now open from the Lihi in Kapa`a to Kuna Bay.  We would like to pass on the following information.  With the safety of the path users in mind, we would like to please ask everyone to obey all county laws regarding the use of the pedestrian/bike path.  The pedestrian/bike path and the area surrounding it are considered a county park.  All laws governing our parks apply to all sections of the path whether the section is officially open or closed.  Signs have been installed at the trailheads and access points to the pathway and more will follow.
A portion of the Coast Pedestrian/Bike Path has been designated for an eighteen (18) month trial period to allow dogs on leash.  This portion is from the Lihi in Kapa`a to south of the picnic shelter closest to the Kealia Bridge.  There is a red line painted on the path designating the northern end of the designated dog portion. 
The following are some of the laws governing the use of the designated dog portion of the path during the eighteen (18) month trial period.
Any dog handler with a dog utilizing the shared use path portion designated to allow dogs must:
  • Be in command and control of dog at all times.
  • Have no more than two (2) dogs under his control.
  • Immediately remove his dog if it exhibits aggressive behavior.
  • Visibly carry the necessary instruments required for the removal and disposal of dog feces.
  • Pick up and dispose of any and all feces left by the dog.
  • have the dog wear at all times a valid current dog license tag that is clearly and visibly attached to the dog's collar.
  • Have the dog on a leash that is no more that six (6) feet in length at all times.  Retractable leashes shall not be allowed.
The following are some of the laws governing the use of the path:
  • No Animals Are Allowed (from the north end of the designated portion to Kuna Bay and the portion of the path located at Lydgate Park).
  • No Motorized Vehicles Are Allowed.
  • No Camping Along the Path
  • No Open Fires Allowed.
If  you are issued a citation for any violations of our Parks Ordinances, you will be required to appear in court and can be penalized up to five hundred ($500.00) for each violation.
Bicyclists using the shared use path are required to stop at all posted Stop signs posted at all path crossing.
We hope you have a safe and enjoyable experience while using the path, Aloha.
