HART and Community Groups Work to Repurpose Wood from Kamani Trees on Dillingham Boulevard ?? ?? ?? HART is pleased to announce that the commemorative ‘umeke (bowls) distributed at the Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture (FestPAC) were repurposed and crafted from the true kamani trees that HART’s construction crews removed during utility relocation work on Dillingham Boulevard. The ‘umeke were gifted to 28 delegates from various Pacific Island nations at FestPAC, held from June 6 to 16 at venues including the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Hawaii Convention Center, Bishop Museum, and throughout Waikiki. HART worked with its contractors and community stakeholders, including local non-profit Re-Use Hawaii, to mill the wood from the true kamani trees. HART provided the repurposed wood used for the ‘umeke to the Pa‘i Foundation, an organization dedicated to preserving and perpetuating Native Hawaiian arts and cultural traditions. HART is committed to providing the wood to a host of nonprofit organizations focusing on Hawaiian culture and art.

THE RAIL TRACK IN SEGMENT 2 IS NOW ENERGIZED ?? ? The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) announced today that the “third rail” for the second operating segment of the Skyline rail system, from the Aloha Stadium Station to the Middle Street Station, will be energized beginning on June 17, 2024. The energization of the third rail marks a milestone in the construction of the second segment of the rail system and will allow for the commencement of certain testing along this section of the system. As testing activities begin, the public will soon see trains moving along the rail guideway from the Aloha Stadium Station, past the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport and Pearl Harbor to the Middle Street Station. This segment of Skyline is expected to open for service in late 2025. Along the entire rail system, the energized third rail provides power to the trains and carries 750 volts of electricity. HART emphasizes that any contact with the third rail poses an immediate fatality risk. While the guideway and rail stations along the second segment may look complete, they remain active work zones, and access to secured rail facilities and the guideway is strictly prohibited.
