Councilmembers Breene Harimoto and Carol Fukunaga are co-sponsoring two free “Complete Streets” workshop for Aiea. The first will be tonight, May 1, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm and the second will be next week Tuesday, May 7, from 6:30pm to 8:30 pm.
If you can, please also join Councilmember Harimoto and traffic-calming expert Dan Burden for an informal walk audit around the school area prior to the meeting (starting at 5:00pm in front of Alvah Scott Elementary School).
From Councilmember Harimoto: “You are welcomed to join us on this short walk to see first-hand what is involved and to participate in some of the discussions. If you cannot join the walk, please just join us at the 6:30 meeting where Dan will do a presentation on Complete Streets incorporating some of the photos from this walk. We’ll also have a lively discussion about what you perceive to be problem intersections and areas in Aiea from Kaahumanu Street to Halawa. We’ll take all of your input and come back in the second meeting next week Tuesday night to present possible solutions and to get your feedback on those ideas. We will develop better plans with the involvement of more community members. Remember that our goal is to transform our streets into streets that are safe for everyone, including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and especially for our children and seniors.
