Aloha!

Varona Village, a former plantation town nestled within Ewa Villages is today the home of many longtime residents, including descendants of Hawaii’s historic plantation workers. The remodeling and rehabilitation of Varona Village is long overdue, which is why the Honolulu City Council is committed to revitalizing the area, repairing the Village’s homes, and ensuring that these homes will remain affordable for residents.

With the support of Varona residents, the Honolulu City Council recently introduced Resolution 16-276, CD1, relating to the authorization of the sale by competitive sealed proposals of Varona Village. This legislation would approve the marketing of the property to potential contractors to help remodel properties, allowing the City to rehabilitate the homes as well as sell them to the plantation families at affordable prices. Residents, family and friends stood together in firm solidarity and unity as they testified in support of this legislation. In a final vote, Resolution 16-276, CD1 passed and was

adopted at the November 2 Full Council Meeting! The City is currently working to issue a request for proposals relating to Varona Village. After reviewing the proposals, they will then select a contractor within 30 to 60 days. I look forward to providing our community members with any updates I receive. I would like to express a warm mahalo to the tremendous support our Varona Village ohana and Leeward community members have displayed throughout the years. Together, we can ensure that our growing communities can honor our past and continue to thrive and best serve our residents.

October Constituent Report

During the month of September, Councilmember Pine’s office received a total of 42 calls from residents throughout the Leeward Coast, requesting City help— of which 8 calls/inquiries were directly from Ewa residents. Of the 8 calls, the top 3 types of calls fell under the categories of Transportation, Environment, & Development.

Issues Addressed

Keeping our Sidewalks Safe— Residents have reached out to Councilmember Pine’s office with concerns regarding green waste from the Koa trees near Ocean Pointe’s Ke Noho Kai Community. The seeds from the Koa trees are quite large and serve as safety hazards for pedestrians walking in the area. Councilmember Pine connected with the Department of Planning & Permitting (DPP) regarding the trees in this area, and to discuss ideas on how we can keep our streets and sidewalks clean, safe and secure for our residents. In response, DPP has now approved for the removal and replacement of Koa trees located within the visitor parking areas of Ocean Pointe’s Ke Noho Kai Community. This project will keep the sidewalks in the area clear and safe for residents to

use. At this time, the Ocean Pointe’s Ke Noho Kai Community Association that contacted our office regarding this issue would have to submit a proposal indicating the substitute trees and a revised landscape plan for review and approval. Kapolei Parkway from Renton Road to Papipi Road has been identified as in need of resurfacing.

The Division of Road Maintenance has initiated a service request to provide pavement maintenances.

Improving Roads in our Community— Kapolei Parkway from Renton Road to Papipi Road (beyond Keoneula Boulevard) has been identified as in need of resurfacing by the Department of Facility Maintenance. There is a portion of Kapolei Parkway from Paapaana Street to TMK: 9-1-69:28 that has not been dedicated to the City to date and therefore, will not be included in the rehabilitation project. The actual work schedule is yet to be determined and will depend on the availability of funds and clearances for other possible conflicts(s) with planned underground utility projects. At this time, the Division of Road Maintenance has initiated a service request to provide pavement maintenances on the section of Kapolei Parkway.
