A proposed fencing project would block this lateral trail to Larsen's Beach across Waioli Corp. land (above). A sign posted at the Larsen's Beach parking lot warns of the dangerous conditions (below). The public has a recorded access to Larsen's, but the trail, as seen here from the beach, has fallen out of its legal alignment (bottom).

Kauai residents have been holding signs in front of Wailua Beach to protest plans to build a bike path there.

The root concern for the plaintiffs is that Turtle Bay's 1985 EIS could remain valid for hundreds of years, even if there are major hurricanes, drastic shoreline erosion, or other significant changes to the community and the land, a legal precedent that could impact numerous other developments that have received some approval but have remained inactive for years.

Kuilima Resort Company plans to increase the Turtle Bay Resort's current number of rooms from less than 500 to 4000 hotel and condominium units.
