In March, the City’s Department of Transportation Services will begin implementing a Complete Streets demonstration project in Aiea.  This demonstration project, which will be along Ulune Street from Aiea Heights Drive to Kaamilo Street, is the product of informational workshops, community walk audits, and resident input provided at meetings held in 2012 and 2013.

To view the final design and learn more about the timing and actual changes that will be made to Ulune Street, please join the Department of Transportation Services and Councilmember Breene Harimoto at this important community informational meeting:

re you and your family prepared for and ready to react to a hurricane, tsunami, or other natural disaster or emergency? Where should you go for information, what supplies should you have at your home, and how can you be of assistance to others in your community that may need help?
