Congratulations to our newly elected and returning Honolulu City Councilmembers: Radiant Cordero, Esther Kia‘āina, Scott Nishimoto, Augie Tuba, and Andria Tupola, on their Inauguration and swearing in!

I look forward to working collaboratively together in order to bring positive change here on O’ahu.

Mahalo also to those friends from my wonderful District 8 community who joined me at the Hale that day! As well as those from my first home, Kauai! It’s always a blessing to be surrounded by loving friends from both homes! And, a special shout out to my D8 office ‘ohana team! Thank you for all the bts work you do to ensure I can succeed!

As we begin this new year, I’m filled with gratitude and motivation to continue my own efforts to be a strong advocate and a helping hand for our residents. Together, through partnership and determination, we can build a stronger, more resilient Honolulu for everyone.

Mahalo to everyone who came out to our special Planning & Economy Committee meeting last night to learn about the Primary Urban Center Development Plan. This plan is the overarching document to guide growth, housing, and infrastructure decisions for the area stretching from Kāhala to Pearl City, including all of @HonoluluCityCouncil District 6. The plan, incorporated in Bill 24, is expected to be formally heard in committee next month.

“He hale ke kino no ka manaʻo.”
The body is a house for the thoughts. — ʻŌlelo Noʻeau #563, Mary Kawena Pukui

Just as our kino (body) carries our manaʻo (thoughts), #OurCouncil serves as a home for our community’s voices, ideas, and aspirations.
Mahalo nui to everyone who joined and shared their manaʻo during today’s 15th Regular Session. Together, we continue to shape #OurHonolulu.

A couple of key measures passed by Full Council today:

Resolution 25-305: Urges the Department of Planning and Permitting to revolve Conditonal Use Permit - Minor for the Kamananui’s gondola and agribusiness to in protecting agricultural lands and prioritizing agricultural uses.

Bill 5 (2025): Establishes humane, structured farm animal control to address stray livestock in West Oʻahu.

Today’s actions reflect our shared commitment to care for our island, our people, and our future.

The Pearl Harbor Historic Trail is officially reopened — restored, refreshed, and ready to ride!

This important project has been a priority for me since I first began work on it as a Honolulu City Council Member 10 years ago. $3.5 million has been appropriated towards the planning, design and construction for this historic path for our community to enjoy.

It’s an honor to see it come full circle, bringing new life to a path that connects our communities, our history, and our future.

To the Honorable members of the @honolulucitycouncil , we accept the fact that we will be sacrificing one meal a month for whatever it was we did to earn your disdain. Most of you do not depend on transit for your transportation needs, and perhaps cannot fathom what the fare increases mean to us. But we think you are foolish for thinking we will forget your votes to raise our bus fares, which are subsidized by property taxes.

This council voted unanimously to increase home exemptions, which means collecting less revenue. This council deliberately chooses who to help, and **it’s not us.**

To add insult to injury, the same members that voted for Bill 54 voted against an amendment to remove the bus fare increase in that same bill.

Councilmembers are also receiving higher salaries that in 2023 went from about $69k to $113k. Chairperson Tommy Waters and Floor Leader Esther Kia‘āina defended those outrageous pay increases by stating that those raises would result in leaders who would work full time to find good solutions to our city’s challenges, which is not apparent with the Bill 54 vote.

Maybe you see us as unimportant to your political careers here in Honolulu because we do not have the resources to contribute to your campaigns. But what we do have is our collective voices and lots of time to connect with other students, working professionals, and other residents of Honolulu.

Mahalo to Councilmembers Radiant Cordero, Tyler Dos Santos-Tam and Matt Weyer - you advocated on behalf of the many organizations who opposed Bill 54 and for those of us who could not be in the room where decisions happen. We will remember your votes.

Thank you catskittyns on Bluesky for letting me use this.

Officially open! A blessing was held this morning for a portion of the Pearl Harbor Historic Trail that was improved with widened concrete pathway and overhead lighting. This is behind the Kalauao Skyline Station and future @hnl.transit hub. It is a demonstration project and part of a larger plan to rejuvenate this trail and extend as a piece of the South Shore Path. We are grateful for the vision of then Councilmember @brandonelefante (now @senelefante) who supported this project and the continued support of @councilmembercordero. Mahalo to @hnl.dts and @hnl.completestreets for their vision and execution of the project. Mahalo to @senbrianschatz and @repedcase for the South Shore Path federal funding support. This vision takes many different parties to make happen. HBL is happy to represent and advocate for the broader riding community. These projects benefit not only people who ride, but also those who walk, run, roll, and drive, by providing safe and convenient places that offer affordable, sustainable, and simple solutions to our complex challenges. #ridealoha #phht #pearlharbor

Skyline Segment 2 is now open! Starting yesterday, the second phase of “The Rail” is now open!

The extension now connects East Kapolei to Middle Street, adding new stations that serve key areas like Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, Lagoon Drive, and the Kalihi Transit Center. Along with this new phase opening are the adjusted bus routes we shared previously that will work in conjunction with the Rail and its new routes.

It was a privilege to attend the Opening Ceremony and experience this exciting milestone for Honolulu’s rail system! Mahalo to all who celebrate have played a positive role in this project!
