State transportation officials have added a new twist to the Laniakea Beach road barrier saga, saying they will prohibit beachgoers from parking mauka of the road even after they remove the concrete barriers there.

The state Department of Transportation plans to take away the barriers Monday, the agency’s deadline after the Save Laniakea Coalition successfully sued to get rid of them. But the DOT also intends to install no-parking signs along the nearly 1,000-foot stretch covered by the Laniakea barriers once they’re gone, agency spokesman Tim Sakahara said Wednesday.

Those who park there will risk getting ticketed, Sakahara said. Before the barriers went up more than 18 months ago, the surfers, locals and visitors to Laniakea could park in the 50 to 60 spaces along that dirt stretch without facing fines.

The scene was also often chaotic, however. Vehicles would randomly pull out onto the highway, buses would block the road’s shoulder and pedestrians would haphazardly cross with no designated crosswalks, often to view Hawaiian green sea turtles that frequent the beach.

Issues at Laniakea were widely blamed for worsening North Shore traffic.

Opponents maintain that the community deserves a better solution from state and city officials that doesn’t shut down beach access. Some say the barriers have helped traffic flows somewhat, but opponents say the measure has only pushed the problem farther down Kamehameha Highway in both directions. In June state Circuit Judge Gary Chang issued a preliminary injunction after expressing concerns that the barriers were “obliterating” access to park on city parkland there. Chang called the situation “unacceptable.”

In an email sent Wednesday to a state deputy attorney general, attorney Bill Saunders, who represents Save Laniakea Coalition, called plans for no-parking signs “a bad-faith violation of the spirit, if not the letter, of Judge Chang’s injunction.” He contended that the state could arguably be in contempt of the court’s order.

Saunders and other attorneys for the Save Laniakea Coalition, a collection of surfers and North Shore community members, had argued that the state needed permits for the barriers because they fell within a coastal Special Management Area.

Chang’s “major concern was with the impact of the DOT’s actions on closure and denial of public use of that park land,” Saunders wrote Wednesday in the email to Price. “Most, if not all of the same legal principles and rationale that mandated the need for an SMA permit for the barriers apply equally to DOT’s” blocking beach access with no-parking signs.

Word of the DOT’s intent came a day after talks failed with barrier opponents, during a court hearing, to reach a deal that would have allowed most of the barriers to stay while also allowing vehicles to park mauka of the highway. With those talks over, all the barriers have to come down by Monday.
