Forty-nine new stalls have been added to the Mā'ili Beach parking lot, including three stalls for people with disabilities, the city announced yesterday.

An improvement project also added ADA-compliant concrete walkways, a picnic table and charcoal pit, and landscaping.

The project cost $500,000, and it was completed ahead of schedule.

It was funded through the city government's Leeward Coast Community Benefits program, which provides $2 million a year for the area to compensate area residents for the nearby Waimānalo Gulch Sanitary Landfill.
