No 22 Waipahu Neighborhood Board Regular Meeting October 2026

The Waipahu Neighborhood Board’s regular meeting was held October 23, 2026. A presentation on the Mobility, Accessibility and Transportation Security (MADDIE) project described planned real-time transit signs and curb extensions to improve pedestrian access near transit in Waipahu. The presenter said pavement-striping permits and engineering work were in progress and that community members may be invited to help paint; maintenance contracts for existing curb extensions and related improvements were also being worked on, but no contract amounts or awards were reported. The board also heard that a draft environmental assessment is available for a Waipahu wastewater pump-station project involving force mains, and received notice of an upcoming public scoping meeting for the Kunia interchange environmental study. No procurement votes or contract approvals were identified.

Other funding and infrastructure matters included a legislative update on Act 146, which appropriated $1 million to support assessments and resilience improvements at care homes, including possible flood, wind, and power-resilience measures. A proposed charter amendment to create a dedicated food-security fund was discussed; its administering department remains undetermined. Officials also reported maintenance and safety concerns involving local parks, roads, and pedestrian crossings. No vendor selection, bid approval, or specific contract award was reported.
