GRAND OPENING FOR NEW ZOO ENTRANCE

 

(Fri., Feb. 18, 2011)—Mayor Peter Carlisle today announced the completion of the Honolulu Zoo's new main entrance, an attractive landmark that makes the zoo more recognizable and accessible.

 

"The Honolulu Zoo is truly one of our city's treasures, and the new entrance has made it even better," Carlisle said at a grand opening ceremony today. "This is just the latest in a series of upgrades and improvements that are helping our zoo remain a vibrant, world-class facility to showcase its animal collection for our kama'aina and visitors."

 

The zoo hosts approximately 600,000 visitors each year.  Replacement of the entrance had been considered since completion of a 1983 zoo master plan.  The new entrance is designed in an attractive style that's similar to that of the new Zoo Learning Center, which was completed two years ago. The entrance includes three building elements connected by a covered walkway, and features a gift shop, a combination ticket booth and patron concession for stroller, umbrella, and sunscreen sales and rentals.

 

"The old entrance, which opened in 1964, served the zoo well for many years but our guests will be treated to a better introductory experience when they walk through the new Honolulu Zoo entry," said Zoo Director Manuel Mollinedo.

 

The $2.98 million project also involved the relocation of the zoo's administrative facilities to the former location of the animal clinic, which has also been replaced. The City's contractor for the entrance project was Okada Trucking Co.

 

The zoo recently renovated its lion enclosure and acquired two new lions.  In addition, a major new elephant exhibit is currently under construction and is slated to open before the end of 2011.

HONOLULU NAMED ONE OF '100 BEST COMMUNITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE' 

(Thurs., Feb. 17, 2011)—Mayor Peter Carlisle joined leaders of several community groups today to announce that Honolulu has been selected as one of the America's Promise Alliance "100 Best Communities for Young People" presented by ING.

This national competition identifies 100 communities nationwide that are dedicated to ending the high school dropout crisis by helping young people overcome challenges to succeed.

"Our community has worked very hard to assist young people identify and achieve their educational goals, and we must continue this important effort," Carlisle said. "More than 7,000 students drop out every school day across the United States, totaling 1.3 million young people a year. That's just not acceptable. Fortunately, many good people in Honolulu and other cities are working to address this crisis."

The City Department of Community Services' Youth Services Center applied for the "100 Best Cities" designation in collaboration with several nonprofit groups that assist young people through various programs that provide mentoring, career guidance, and other youth development services: Good Beginnings Alliance; Family Programs Hawaii; YMCA of Honolulu; Honolulu Community Action Program's Head Start Program; Hawaii Youth Services Network; Hawaii Community Foundation; Hawaii Job Corps; and ALU LIKE.

Judges for the competition reviewed applications from across the U.S., looking for innovative or proven programs and initiatives that demonstrate applicant communities are actively working to increase graduation rates. Winning communities had to demonstrate how they are collaborating across sectors (schools, nonprofits, business and faith communities working together) to help young people overcome challenges and achieve their potential.

Founded in 1997, America's Promise Alliance is the nation's largest partnership organization dedicated to improving the lives of children and youth. The 100 Best Communities for Young People competition is supported by the ING Foundation, which contributes an average of $3.5 million annual towards education initiatives.
