## Resource

Honolulu’s Skyline rail construction kicks off this fall in Kakaako, with support columns going up on Halekauwila Street—keeping traffic and parking intact. While the exact start date is still uncertain, work aims to begin before year’s end. Local businesses fear disruption, with one owner voicing concern after seeing neighbors struggle. HART promises direct outreach to affected residents and businesses to minimize impact. The civic center station, Ka’akaukukui, is set for completion in 2031, though future extensions to Ala Moana and UH Manoa are in the works. Balancing progress with community needs remains a key challenge as the city moves forward. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
