No 09 Waikīkī Neighborhood Board Regular Meeting June 2026

The June 2026 regular meeting of the Waikīkī Neighborhood Board, convened by the City and County Neighborhood Commission Office, covered a broad range of community and municipal issues with a focus on public safety, infrastructure, and local development projects. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on the Kuhill Beach Shower Improvement Project, where the Department of Facility Maintenance presented on regulatory compliance efforts to prevent shower runoff from contaminating ocean waters. The project is in the conceptual phase, with community engagement ongoing to inform design alternatives, and future construction planned to address environmental concerns. Additionally, there was mention of an $8 million city budget allocation for Alawawaii wall repairs and sand replenishment efforts along the Waikīkī coastline, aimed at mitigating coastal erosion and supporting infrastructure resilience. The meeting also addressed concerns about electric scooter management, noise ordinances, and affordable housing redevelopment, including the demolition of the 436 Ena Road property for future affordable housing development funded partly by CDBG money. Legislative updates highlighted ongoing efforts to secure funding for affordable housing, noise control legislation, and behavioral health oversight. No formal votes or contract awards were recorded during this session, but several action items related to capital improvement projects and community safety enforcement were discussed.
