To bring traffic relief to the Wai’anae Coast, the City reamed up with the State to provide a contraflow service for the afternoon Leeward traffic rush.

$300,000 in the city funds and $500,000 from state and federal funding has been appropriated for a Nanakuli contraflow pilot project.

The City will be responsible for most of the operations for the contraflow project. This will create a third lane of travel for westbound drivers on Farrington Highway from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. every week day, excluding holidays. The mile-long contraflow lane is planned to begin at Piliokahi Avenue and continue past Helelua Street.

15 Minute Commute?  Thousands doing it, Meet Two

Thousands of West Oahu Residents Will Have Same Opportunity

at Hire Leeward Job Fair on June 25, 2016

 

HONOLULU — Longtime Makakilo Resident and Hotel Executive Leslie Cho is no stranger to Westside traffic— she has been commuting to town and back for work for the past 17 years.  As a Hotel Sales Manager, she would wake up at 3:00 a.m., and be on the road by 5:30 a.m. to beat the morning rush— regardless, there were times Leslie was still stuck in gridlock traffic.

 

“I would spend up to 2 hours sitting in traffic in the morning and evening— leaving my house when it was dark outside, and coming home when it was dark.” said Leslie Cho.

 

Looking to spend more time with her family and grow her career, Leslie found and recently obtained the position of Director of Sales for the new Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Oahu-Kapolei —expected to open in the Ka Makana Alii Shopping Center this September 2016.  Now she will be working directly out of Kapolei, decreasing her commute from 2 hours to 15 minutes.

 

Another Leeward commuter who recently found a job closer to home is Waianae Resident Andrew “Umi” Sexton, champion fire-knife dancer and proud father of three, who has spent the past three years commuting across the island from Waianae to Waikiki.   Each morning began at 3:30 am (with Umi on the road by 4:00 a.m.) to ensure he would not be late to one of his two jobs in a Waikiki hotel, where he worked diligently as a valet.  This continued until Umi attended a special Hire Leeward Job Fair hosted by Four Seasons Resort O’ahu at Ko Olina.  After meeting the staff and making it through an intensive round of interviews, Umi earned a highly coveted position with a competitive benefits package at the new resort, which opened May 27th. “I was praying about this job and it finally came true.  I am so blessed to receive this opportunity through the job fair,” Umi said.  “It is so great to work closer to home.  I can finally spend more time with my family, and I am proud to represent the Westside community in this new hotel in our district.”

 

Thousands of West Oahu residents will have the same opportunity to make a career change at an upcoming job fair taking place this month in Leeward Oahu:

 

For the 4th consecutive year, Councilmember Kymberly Marcos Pine is proud to partner with the Kapolei Chamber of Commerce to present The 4th Annual Hire Leeward Job and Career Fair taking place on June 25, 2016, (Saturday) at the University of Hawai’i – West O’ahu campus from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

 

“The Hire Leeward initiative empowers West O’ahu residents to leave their days of driving in traffic behind them by taking advantage of the many job opportunities within their community.  Many don’t realize that there are over 63,000 Leeward jobs on the Leeward coast; one for just about every adult in my district,” said Councilmember Kymberly Marcos Pine.

 

With the annual theme of “Connecting Leeward Residents with Leeward Jobs”, the Fair will host over 70 businesses offering Leeward-based job opportunities.  There were over thousands of attendees at last year’s Fair and this year’s Fair is expected to have a large turnout as well.  There will be free Leeward career education seminars to help residents learn the skills and make the connections they need to find a job close to home.

 

Businesses and organizations are offering job opportunities from a wide range of industries including: healthcare, financial services, food service, hospitality, retail, and administrative, as well as trade apprenticeships.

 

Attendees can get priority and complimentary entrance into the Fair by registering online.  For more information on the Hire Leeward initiative and the Fair, job seekers are encouraged to visit www.HireLeeward.com.

 

Councilmember Pine represents residents of District One (Ewa, Ewa Beach, Kapolei, Honokai Hale, Ko Olina, Nanakuli, Maili, Waianae, Makaha, Keaau, Makua). www.councilmemberpine.com

Councilmember Kymberly Marcos Pine’s Statement in Response to Leader’s Push to Stop Rail Project in Middle Street

KYMBERLY MARCOS PINE

COUNCILMEMBER

(808) 768-5001 (808) 768-1217 (fax)

E-mail: kmpine@honolulu.gov

 

NEWS RELEASE                  

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 17, 2016

Contact: Cathy Lee

Tel: (808) 768-5023

 

Before we rush to decide on a rail route, shouldn’t we get numbers first?

 

(HONOLULU) – Councilmember Kymberly Marcos Pine released the following statement in response to leaders’ push to stop the rail project in Middle Street:

 

“It is very important that we all strive to ensure that we build a rail system that we can afford. What we cannot afford is leaders making quick decisions without real information.   I continue to be extremely frustrated that leaders are making serious decisions on changing the rail route without publicly analyzing facts or figures on how the change will affect the ridership numbers and the use of the entire system.

 

The purpose for building rail in the first place was to reduce traffic and provide residents facing long drives a faster way to commute. Every decision must be made based on that goal.

 

What is missing in the conversation is a true station by station analysis of the pros and cons of eliminating each station.

 

Before making any changes to the rail route, HART staff needs to provide the public with a cost analysis of each station and the effects of ridership— should any station be eliminated. To date, decisions on future stations are currently being made without this information in the public discussion.

 

What is not being considered is the possibility of eliminating stations throughout the route instead of eliminating the last 8 stations.

 

Should leaders come to the conclusion that the Middle Street option is the best option after this data is publicly scrutinized, I’ll be satisfied that we did our due diligence and made a responsible decision for the people of Oahu.”

Mayor signs Bill 24 Targeting Illegal Bulky Item Dumpers

 

407px-Honolulu_seal_svg

PRESS RELEASE

MAYOR KIRK CALDWELL

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES

CITY & COUNTY OF HONOLULU

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wednesday, May 18, 2016

Press Office: 768-5768 (cell: 321-0690)

Mayor signs Bill 24 targeting illegal bulky item dumpers 

Mayor Kirk Caldwell today signed Bill 24, sponsored by Councilmember Kymberly Marcos Pine and Councilmember Ron Menor, strengthening enforcement of illegal bulky item dumping.

This new law will for the first time allow inspectors to fine the individual perpetrators who illegally dump bulky waste, not just nearby residents and managers. It also provides higher fines for individual perpetrators: Those violators can now be fined up to $2,500 for each violation

“Oahu residents are tired of seeing their sidewalks turned into illegal dumpsites,” said Councilmember Kymberly Marcos Pine. “These higher fines will ensure that anyone breaking the law will think twice before illegally dumping their trash in our neighborhoods.”

“I am glad that this bill has been signed into law,” said Councilmember Menor. “The illegal dumping of bulky items remains a significant issue creating health and safety problems and visual blight in communities throughout the islands.  These problems are exacerbated by the piling up of bulky items on sidewalks when people illegally dump items in an area which encourages others to do the same.  I am hopeful that the tougher sanctions which this measure contains will serve as an additional deterrent to these kinds of activities in the future.”

“The Department of Environmental Services provides for free collection of bulky items, such as furniture, appliances, and mattresses, across O‘ahu every month,” said Director of Environmental Services Lori Kahikina. “Please put items out only during your regularly scheduled pickup times, or take them to any of our convenience centers. Inspectors will continue citing violators, and fines are now increased.”

O‘ahu bulky item collection information and schedule by region can be found here: http://bit.ly/1R7zEmz.

“There is no excuse for illegal dumping, which creates a safety hazard and an eyesore,” said Mayor Caldwell. “Think about the seniors who have to walk into the road to avoid your old couch. Think about the neighbors who have to stare at it all month. Please kokua and follow the collection schedule. If your items are still in good condition, please consider donating them to organizations such as Goodwill and Salvation Army. If you see someone dumping illegally, please call police immediately.”

Traffic Advisory: Section of Farrington Highway in Ewa to reopen Thursday

The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation wants to inform drivers that Farrington Highway between Kualakai Parkway (North-South Road) and Old Fort Weaver Road Loop will partially reopen starting Thursday, January 29.

The eastbound direction of Farrington Highway will reopen at 5 a.m. Thursday and remain open each weekday from 5 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. to accommodate daytime commuters. The westbound direction will remain closed because of ongoing guideway construction.

The section of highway will then be closed weeknights in both directions from 7:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. to allow construction crews to safely conduct rail guideway work along the narrow two-lane stretch of road. The nightly closures are expected to last approximately two months, with the highway to be completely open to drivers once the guideway work is complete.

Motorists who routinely use Farrington Highway should provide themselves extra time for their commute. During the nightly closure, drivers travelling between East Kapolei and the Ewa/Waipahu region will still be able to access either side by using either the H-1 Freeway on the north end of Kualakai Parkway, or Kapolei Parkway/Geiger Road on the south end (see attached locator map).

For updates on construction work days and times, visit the project website at www.honolulutransit.org or contact our hotline at 566-2299.
