HART WEEKLY eBLAST  | SEPTEMBER 11, 2015

  FOUR MILES...AND COUNTING



The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) has achieved another milestone with the completion of four miles of the system's elevated guideway.
 
Crews have now constructed more than 170 spans.  A span is the portion of the guideway between two support columns. The four-mile mark is along Farrington Highway in Waipahu. To date, 290 foundations have been completed and 204 columns have been built, as the guideway makes its way through Waipahu. 
 
The guideway segments are cast at the project's casting yard in Kapolei, and a single span requires about 12 segments. Each segment weighs about 50 tons. About 3,290 segments have been cast, in preparation for guideway construction.

 "We continue to make progress on the construction of our rail project," said HART Executive Director and CEO Dan Grabauskas.  "Safety is our top priority, and we want to thank the public for their patience, and for driving safely through our construction zones."
  TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP

    

HART will participate in the "Supporting Development and Land Reuse Around Honolulu's Rail Stations" workshop on Tuesday, September 22.

Come and hear experts talk about transit-oriented development (TOD) and the environmental issues associated with it.

The workshop will get underway at 8:30 a.m and run to 3:00 p.m. and will be held at the Blaisdell Center's Pikake Room at 777 Ward Avenue.

This is a great opportunity to learn how to make a community asset from underutilized or blighted property in your community.

Admission is free, but advance registration is required.
