Waikiki Sidewalks Project Completed

According to KHON2 News Online ,“Honolulu Mayor Peter Carlisle inspected sidewalks on Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki Friday, which are now open to the public after eight months of extensive improvements.”

“This is the first phase of reconstruction of the public sidewalks in selected areas along Kalakaua Avenue from Pau Street to Liliuokalani Avenue. Improvements include paving, landscaping, irrigation and electrical improvements within the public right-of-way. The second phase will be to design remaining areas of Kalakaua Avenue when funds become available.”

“The City is glad to reopen our sidewalks to our residents and visitors,” said Carlisle. “This improvement project, which was planned before the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit, is also a result of public private partnerships.”
