Here's the link to a very important article that made the cover of the Sept. 2005 HawaiiBusiness Magazine titled: Kauai in Crisis by Jacy Youn.
http://www.hawaiibusiness.com/currentissue.aspx
It discusses Kauai's strained infrastructure, the excessive number of new visitor andresidential units approved for the next 20 years, how this happened and possible solutions.
Below is a portion of a list of the proposed development projects from the article. These projects are already approved for development; most are within the next 5 years. Please share this information -- it's about Kauai's future.

Clearly, these
number imply a great increase of population on the island in the next
five years, as well as a huge increase in traffic. Remember who approved
and encouraged these developments next election.
