Budget and time, went out the window years ago.
Think we'd be better off not designing the next 50 years of the city around fckn shopping malls
Are u saying this is exposing?
A little over the past five years, over 1,200 shopping malls have closed throughout the U.S. Even malls such as the historic Puente Hill Mall, which was featured in the movie 'Back to the Future' is probably closing by the end of 2024. And San Francisco's largest mall, Westfield San Francisco Centre, may be closing as many stores have vacated that mall, half of the mall store spaces are empty.
As people online shop, and companies do curbside and delivery services, more shoppers aren't going to browse a mall looking for deals, they're just going to go online to fill their 'shopping carts'.
That doesn't spell well for Ala Moana, Ka Makana Ali'i, Pearlridge, etc...all that were looking for rail to produce hikes in patronage.
So who is the 'main' target rider, residents, tourist, shoppers, kapuna, students, etc...if they are trying to meet a wide array of people, they may end up missing all of the demographic altogether. Because it may fall short in some way for each demographic instead.
And stacking a bunch of condos in Kakaako, and then rail falling short of reaching there was not a thought out idea. Perhaps they should've started at Ala Moana, and then build out towards the westside.
Just a thought...
So much wasted space. How come the rail doesn't have a solar roof? Miles of solar roofing wasted. Decrease the cost of operation
city center guideway and stations (CCGS), three miles and six stations for $1 - $1.5 billion is what they’re expecting? That’s $333 - $500 million per mile. The problem? Last time they tried it was four miles and eight stations. The two bids came in at $2.73 billion and $2.775 billion, or roughly $690 million per mile. They are expecting the price per mile to be at least 27.5% cheaper per mile despite inflation pushing prices up at least 20% over the last three to four years? Those people are delusional.
Tutor Perini, a firm that was part of the consortium that bid $2.73 billion last time around, has already tipped their hand in a recent investors report:
“Additional near and longer-term bid opportunities include:
The $2 billion Honolulu Rail Transit project in Hawaii.” construction dive 11/13/2023
keep voting democrat.
Never did
They need more chairs on thebplatform, park and ride, live-time arrival/ departure app.
Its already over budget 👎
the rusty rail will always fail.
Our garbage systems have been a wreck since she left ..from a Mossman it's the truth😂
Could've been done if they worked on it, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. in my opinion.
Get rid of the rail only creating more traffic, even Stevie wonder can see that!
according to table 3-12 in rail’s final eis, in 2030, after the rail has been operating between Kapolei and ALA MOANA for 10 years (hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣), daily car trips with rail will be 2,767,600 vs an estimated 2,815,800 without rail.
(2,815,800 - 2,767,600) / 2,815,800 = .017
In other words, a 1.7% reduction in traffic, or roughly 1 out of every 59 cars on the road. Not significant, and probably not noticeable. Note that the final eis assumed ridership of 116k per day. In hart’s 6/3/2022 “recovery” plan, table 7-1 shows that their ridership estimate has been reduced to 84,005 per day, a reduction of 27.6%, so realistically the marginal 1.7% traffic reduction will also be reduced.
She's giving the public the truth and being transparent..🤙👌✌️
people keep complaining like it will change things. you cannot stop building the rail. this project was voted for by a majority of the voters in the past and unless something major happens like the City of Honolulu going bankrupt the rail will continue on being built. even if you say vote republican the rail will still go on since this project belongs to the city and not the state.
The reason they will stop construction at the imaginary “civic center” is because their funding sources in total will produce ~$10 billion, and 18.9 miles and 19 stations is all they can manage for that much. BTW, the original agreement with the FTA stated 20.1 miles, 21 stations, completed and in full time operation all the way to Ala Moana by 1/31/2020 for $5,121,693,163. According to their 6/3/2022 “recovery” plan, the last 1.2 miles and two stations to Ala Moana will cost $1.376 billion, but no schedule is given because there’s no funding for that segment.
The more public coverage regarding the construction process, the greater the public buy-in (to an extent) to also being flexible about the project. Communication facilitates understanding in the method behind the madness. Communication facilitates public investment in the process, the way the communication is perceived will temper how the project will be received. The inquiry about PR investment is worthwhile. In all frankness, Lori's performance in output was proof in the pudding regarding deservedness of continuation. But I think there was a public rallying behind her in light of how the public identifies and empathizes with her story and who she is and how she conducts herself. The process facilitates the integrity of the end game and product. The ends don't always justify the means. This is definitely a study in project management irl. Mahalo for the continued learning opportunity.
Actually saw work being done on dillingham tonite. That’s a start 😂
