Hawaii Public Radio has posted a five-part series ofreports on “Transit and Growth in Hawaii,” the third of which is themost interesting since it focuses on Honolulu’s proposed $4 billion+ railsystem. Each of the segments, however, is worth a listen:
- Part I – did 1970’s projections match up to reality?
- Part II – gas prices and growth
- Part III – the cost of rail, and who will pay
- Part IV – the EIS
- Part V – which technology will be employed?
In a similar vein, last year, UH Law professor David Callies, Honolulu attorney Vernon Woo, and I were guests on Jay Fidell’s KHPR program on the topic of Honolulu rail, and the development and land use issues sure to surround the project. Audio of the show is available here.
