Residents near popular hiking trails on Oʻahu have raised concerns about visitor parking crowding neighborhood streets and limiting access to their homes. Bill 54 (2026) takes action by making existing parking restrictions near hiking trails clearer and easier to identify. ⛰️ 🅿️

Please join me in supporting Bill 54 and submit testimony at the upcoming Infrastructure, Transportation & Technology (ITT) Committee Meeting this Wednesday.

Your voice makes a difference! 🤙

🚧 TRAFFIC ADVISORY: 11th Avenue in Kaimukī

A portion of 11th Avenue between Waiʻalae Avenue and Harding Avenue is closed until further notice due to safety concerns involving the structure at Happy Days Chinese Seafood Restaurant.

The City has closed the affected roadway and sidewalk as a precaution while the property owner works with the City to address the structural concerns.

Please avoid the area, use alternate routes, and allow extra time when traveling through Kaimukī. Pedestrians should also stay clear of the affected area.

I’m grateful that no one was seriously injured from the collapse. Our priority now is making sure the surrounding area remains safe for the community.

There is currently no timeline for reopening. We’ll continue to share updates as they become available.

Please drive safely and with aloha! 🤙
