Where Will Development Happen
Key areas: Ala Moana and Kaka'ako, Kapi'olani corridor, Mo'ili'ili and UH area, Iwilei and Downtown transitioning from industrial to mixed use.
Will Commuting Get Easier
Rail helps airport and Ala Moana travel. Benefits for hospital workers, retail and hospitality staff, and UH students. Others may still need cars but could drop from 2 vehicles to 1.
