Due to the Aiea Library being closed to relocate to the new facility, this month’s Aiea Community Association meeting will be held at ‘Aiea Hongwanji’s meeting room, 99-186 Puakala Street Aiea, HI 96701.
See you there!
ACA Members! As the media has reported, the new ‘Aiea Public building will be opening in July! In preparation for this opening, the current ‘Aiea Public Library facility will be closing for good after this Saturday, June 7, 2014 in order to move the library’s collection over to the new facility.
If you have time this Sunday (June 8th) to help with the packing of the library’s collection, the library could really use your help! Volunteers will help clear out a work space in the current library on and will be working in pairs to remove library materials from the shelves and pack them in lightweight green bins provided by Island Movers. Light refreshments will be provided.
If you are able to assist, please let Claire Tamamoto know when and for how long.

Over the past several years, Arlene Ching, the former branch manager of ‘Aiea Public Library, tirelessly spent countless hours interviewing long-time current and former ‘Aiea residents. The fruits of this labor can be found in ‘Aiea: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow, a compilation of these oral histories and other historical resources.
Last year, Councilman Breene Harimoto and the City & County of Honolulu helped sponsor a “Complete Streets” workshop in ‘Aiea to look at how to make ‘Aiea’s streets safer, more livable, and more accessible. A “Complete Streets Honolulu” publication was released, showing its recommendations for ‘Aiea, which were derived in part from last year’s workshops. You can download the ‘Aiea portion of the “Complete Streets” recommendation here.
In March, the City’s Department of Transportation Services will begin implementing a Complete Streets demonstration project in Aiea. This demonstration project, which will be along Ulune Street from Aiea Heights Drive to Kaamilo Street, is the product of informational workshops, community walk audits, and resident input provided at meetings held in 2012 and 2013.
To view the final design and learn more about the timing and actual changes that will be made to Ulune Street, please join the Department of Transportation Services and Councilmember Breene Harimoto at this important community informational meeting:
