Solving Honolulu's rail crisis




A sudden epiphany overwhelmed me while watching the men and woman of the National guard working on the Hundley heights elevated switchback portion of the pedestrian trail from Kuhio Hwy to Mahelona on Kauai.

to Kauai Mayor Carvalho for arranging
all this labor compliments of Uncle Sam!


Kauai Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr. has been very creative when funding ran out for the  continuance of the pedestrian trail. I don't know the details, or who was involved, or how he did it, but somehow got the National guard to finish a most complex trail system  with switchbacks to cut the high angle of the hike, all elevated and handrails making it  totally ADA approved. 

There are 50 National Guards men and woman a day providing labor for this project compliments of Uncle Sam.

Feds could withhold construction funds if rail has no financial solution by July
