The alcohol proposal
would make permanent a ban against alcohol, drugs and disorderly behavior at
the Kaneohe Sandbar during three-day holiday weekends. The ban has been in
effect since 2012 but will expire this year without changes.
The state Department of Land and
Natural Resources will hold a hearing on the proposal from 6 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, April 7, at the Heeia Elementary School
Cafeteria, 46-202 Haiku Road, in Kaneohe.
Mail & E-mail Encouraged For
Age-Friendly Plan
The age-friendly proposal would establish guidelines for outdoor spaces, transportation,
social and civic involvement, and community support, such as health services.
For example, the proposal is designed to encourage outdoor spaces that are
multigenerational, accessible, clean, crime-free and close to other services
and amenities.
The City and County of Honolulu
will accept written comments through April 28. Mail your thoughts to University
of Hawaii, Center on Aging, 1960 East-West Road, BioMed T-705B, Honolulu, HI
96822. Send e-mail to Kupuna2Keiki@gmail.com.
The age-friendly proposal mirrors
some elements of the Blue Zones Project, a neighbor-to-neighbor initiative
designed to improve the living environment so that residents can live longer,
happier, more productive lives.
Windward Meeting Scheduled On Land
Proposal
The agricultural land proposal would create tighter rules
against urban development for 56,000 acres, including some tracts in the
Kaneohe area. The land would have to be currently in agricultural production,
have enough water and offer productive growing conditions.
The City and County of Honolulu
will hold three public meetings on the proposal. They include a meeting on April
15 in Hale Akoakoa Room 105 at Windward Community College from 5:30 to 8:30
p.m. A map of the proposed tracts is available online.
