New Route For Honolulu Rail? Any ‘Hare-Brained’ Scheme Is Being Considered…HART’s new executive director Lori Kahikina says she’s open to any ideas that avoid having to get special utility clearances along Dillingham Boulevard.
Honolulu rail’s new interim executive director, Lori Kahikina, says she’s asked the project’s staff for “any out-of-the-box idea” — however “hare-brained” it might sound — to help get the transit line past Dillingham Boulevard and to Ala Moana.
That could involve avoiding Dillingham altogether and shifting rail elsewhere, such as along Nimitz Highway, Kahikina said in an interview after Thursday’s Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation board meeting, her first as the agency’s new top executive.
