No 12 Nuʻuanu-Punchbowl Neighborhood Board Regular Meeting September 2026

The City and County Neighborhood Commission Office held the No 12 Nuʻuanu-Punchbowl Neighborhood Board Regular Meeting on September 16, 2026. The meeting covered a variety of community and public safety updates, including reports from the Honolulu Fire Department, Police Department, and Board of Water Supply. A significant portion of the meeting focused on local infrastructure and development issues, such as the status of the HUVA water system project and main water breaks, as well as a detailed discussion on a proposed residential development at 2041 Pulina Drive involving 12 homes. The developer addressed community concerns about flooding, parking, and zoning compliance, noting ongoing coordination with city agencies and adherence to zoning limits. Additionally, the board received a presentation on the H1 Cat Park planning study, a federally funded initiative aimed at reconnecting communities divided by freeway construction through the creation of public open spaces. The project is in the feasibility study phase with no construction budget yet, and community input on design and impacts was solicited. The board also discussed and voted on a motion to allow on-leash dog privileges at Nuʻuanu Valley Park, which did not pass due to community concerns. Other agenda items included updates from mayoral and gubernatorial representatives, legislative reports, and neighborhood concerns. No contract awards, RFPs, or direct procurement actions were reported, but several capital improvement projects and infrastructure planning efforts were discussed that may lead to future procurement activity.
