NEW WAIKIKI SEWER LINES NEARING COMPLETION

(Wed., June 13, 2012)—Mayor Peter Carlisle today announced that the Beachwalk Force Main sewer project in Waikiki is nearing completion. As the portion of the new permanent force main that connects the Beachwalk Wastewater Pump Station in Waikiki to the temporary bypass line on the mauka side of the Ala Wai Canal has been completed, two smaller 28-inch temporary pipes will be floated to the canal's surface and removed this week. The two smaller pipes were installed in and across the canal following the massive 2006 sewage spill. 

"This project is very important for protecting our environment and public health in Waikiki," Carlisle said. "Investing wisely in our infrastructure is the key to preparing for our future."

The Beachwalk Force Main project includes the installation of 5,800 feet of new, 72-inch diameter pipe running from the Ala Wai Elementary School, near the makai end of University Avenue, to the Moana Park Wastewater Pump Station at the Atkinson Street entrance to Ala Moana Beach Park. 

The new pipe consists of five segments, four of which have now been installed. Specialized pipe for the final segment is slated to arrive this week, and the entire project is expected to be completed by early 2013.

The two 28-inch diameter temporary pipes that will be removed from the canal this week are separate from the 48-inch diameter temporary pipe that became visible when a portion floated to the surface of the canal last month. That temporary pipe was re-submerged and will be removed after the final segment of the permanent new pipe is installed.

Once the entire $46 million project is complete, two reliable systems will transport wastewater from Waikiki: the existing 48-inch diameter pipe running beneath Ala Wai Boulevard; and the new 72-inch diameter pipe running beneath Ala Wai Park, crossing the canal and under Ala Wai Blvd to the pump station. For more information, go to www.beachwalkforcemain.com .

The City has also begun a separate project that will rehabilitate 6,000 feet of sewer lines in Waikiki along Kuhio Avenue between Namahana Street and Liliuokalani Avenue. The $5.7 million project is expected to be completed in the summer of 2013. For more information, go to www.waikikisewer.com

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                                                       June 12, 2012

 

SUMMER FUN PROGRAMS  "GET ACTIVE, GET FIT"

 

(Tue., June 12, 2012)—The Department of Parks and Recreation's popular Summer Fun Program, which attracts more than 9,000 youths on Oahu annually, has just announced it will be implementing a healthier "Get Active, Get Fit…E Oni Kakou" theme this summer.

 

            In an effort to help combat the obesity epidemic in Honolulu, Parks and Recreation will be offering healthy beverage alternatives in their vending machines.  Parks staff has replaced the sugar-sweetened beverages and sodas with 100% fruit juices and water in all their drink dispensers at the 60 Summer Fun Program sites. Children participating at these sites will also be encouraged to take the "Soda-Free Summer Challenge," a pledge to abstain from drinking sugar-sweetened beverages for the duration of the Summer Fun Program.

            In addition, Parks and Recreation will continue to promote physical activity in the Summer Fun program as they have done in previous years.  This year, current and former NFL players will visit selected summer fun sites on Oahu and will be promoting the NFL Play60 movement for active generations.  Players will interact with summer fun keiki through physical activities and Play60 events like the Punt, Pass, and Kick Competition.

 

            In Hawaii, almost one in three children kindergarten are overweight or obese, and the percentage of high school students who are obese increased 26% from 1999 to 2011. Almost one in five high school students report consuming at least one sugary drink per day, accounting for about 10% of their overall diet. Additionally, four out of five high school students fail to meet national recommendations for physical activity. Changing our environment to make healthy food and beverage options more accessible and increasing opportunities for physical activity are critical steps in reversing this trend.    

 

            "It's more than changing drinks.  It's really altering children's lifestyles and habits.  By making healthy foods and beverages available, accessible, and affordable, and incorporating different physical activities into the program, we hope to influence healthy choices," said Mayor Peter Carlisle.  "More than one-third of adults and close to one-fifth of children and adolescents in the United States are obese, accelerating to epidemic proportions.  We have to work together to effect change.  Success requires action from all of us," added Carlisle  

 

           The State Department of Health is partnering with the City in this initiative.  According to Director of Health Loretta J. Fuddy, these positive changes are another exciting step toward improving the health of our keiki.  "This is a great example of government being proactive and making healthy food choices, and beverages accessible at places where our children learn and play, and families and communities gather," said Fuddy.

 

           The Department of Parks and Recreation offers seven weeks of Summer Fun at 60 sites throughout the island of Oahu.  Children enjoy a wide variety of arts and crafts, sports and games, excursions, and special events.  There is a $25 registration fee, which is waived for eligible families, and up to $75 for activity fees.

 

           For more information of summer fun programs, contact the Department of Parks and Recreation,

TRAFFIC ADVISORY: LANE CLOSURES

FOR ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY WORK IN URBAN HONOLULU

 

(Tue., June 12, 2012) − The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) wants to inform drivers that archaeological survey work continues next week in the urban Honolulu area for the rail transit project.

 

Motorists are advised of lane closures related to the survey work being conducted in the Airport, Kalihi, downtown Honolulu, and Kakaako areas.

 

Work will require lane closures during non-peak traffic hours, including possible night work in approved areas.

 

            For the safety of both the work crews and motorists, the public is advised to proceed with caution through these areas. Drivers should anticipate possible traffic delays or use alternate routes during work hours, and provide a safe distance between themselves and the construction workers and equipment.

 

            Work for the week of Sunday, June 10, through Saturday, June 16, will take place at the following locations:

·    Nimitz Highway between River Street and Halekauwila Street from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

·    Kamehameha Highway between Middle Street and Laumaka Street from 7:30 p.m. to 4 a.m.

 

            The City is conducting the archaeological survey work along the urban Honolulu section of the Honolulu rail transit route to identify potential archaeological, historical and cultural resources. The archaeological work will aid rail project staff in their design of the elevated rail guideway.

 

            Trenching work will take place at various locations along the Honolulu rail route between Middle Street in Kalihi and Ala Moana Center. Contractors Cultural Surveys Hawaii Inc. and Royal Contracting Co. are conducting the fieldwork.

 

            The survey work will be completed before rail construction begins in the urban Honolulu area, as specified under the rail project's programmatic agreement relating to cultural and historic resources.

 

            For updates on construction work days and times, visit the project website at www.honolulutransit.org or contact our hotline at 566-2299.
