No 03 Waiʻalae-Kāhala Neighborhood Board Regular Meeting August 2026

The Waiʻalae-Kāhala Neighborhood Board held its regular meeting on August 24, 2026, with representatives from various city departments and elected officials providing updates. Key procurement-related discussions included the Department of Transportation Services reporting on a legal work order for installing a no parking sign at Kahala Towers (work order LPS 38724) and upcoming capital improvement projects such as the rehabilitation of pedestrian safety features along Kahala Avenue and a complete streets redesign for Kilawa Avenue. The board also discussed potential resolutions to support resilience hubs and infrastructure improvements, including a proposal to convert a problematic intersection into a roundabout to improve traffic flow and safety. Additionally, a permitted interaction group (PIG) was proposed to investigate and develop plans for the underutilized Department of Education facility on Puanini Avenue, focusing on landscaping and community use, which may involve public-private partnerships. While no contract awards or vendor selections were explicitly mentioned, the meeting featured several budget and project planning discussions that could lead to future procurement actions. The board also received updates on emergency preparedness, water supply issues, and community engagement initiatives, but no direct purchasing decisions or bid approvals were recorded during this session.
