The City is removing one of the fences they recently erected that is blocking sea wall footpath access between Makalei and Leahi Beach Parks. In 2018, the City settled a lawsuit by a plaintiff that fell and sustained injury while walking on the right-of-way near Leahi Beach Park. In an effort to avoid a similar incident from occurring in the future, the City recently erected fencing that restricts access to the area.
