▪ Honolulu's Rail Project: Podcast of Hawaii Public Radio Program (mp3)
ThinkTech Hawaii, Jay Fidell's Hawaii Public Radio program on FM89.3 KIPO, has posted both the show (20mb mp3) and the aftershow podcast (13mb mp3) of yesterday's "Honolulu's Fixed Guideways - How Will The Surrounding Areas be Developed." I was a guest along with UH Law Professor David Callies, and Honolulu attorney and developer Vernon Woo.
Jay led a wide-ranging discussion on legal, land use, and political issues related to Honolulu's $4B "fixed guideway" mass transit system. We talked about public-private development partnerships, eminent domain, transit-oriented development and other related subjects. Jay's final question: "if you were King, what would you do about the rail?" Food for thought.
Honolulu City Councilperson Charles Djou and transit expert Cliff Slater also called in with their thoughts.
transit expert Cliff Slater? more like professional anti-transit personality.
