So, we all know that the new ‘Aiea Public Library is being built–we all know that much. However, most of the work is hidden behind a temporary fence, so have you been wondering exactly what’s been going on back there? If you have, perhaps we can shed some light onto your curiosity!
The following photos are from a project construction report filed with the Department of Accounting & General Services. According to the report, the facility (designed by Davin Kimoto of CDS International and being built by Nan Inc) is set to be complete by the mid-December 2013. Not surprising, seeing as how quickly everything is going up! Awesome!!!
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.
Save the Date!!
The ground breaking of the new ‘Aiea Public Library will be held on Saturday, March 16th 2013 at 10:00am to 12:00 noon at the old ‘Aiea Sugar Mill site (off of ‘Aiea Heights Drive)!

Aloha everyone. Because the next scheduled ‘Aiea Community Association meeting date would fall on President’s Day, we are contemplating changing the meeting date, depending on the availability of ‘Aiea Public Library’s meeting room. Stay tuned for confirmation…
