CityandCountyofHonolulu Aiea‐PearlCityCityCommunitySurvey

We need your input!

Dear Aiea‐Pearl City Resident,

The City and County of Honolulu is building a rail transit line from East Kapolei to Ala Moana to provide transportation alternatives and help residents travel more efficiently. Three stations are being planned near you at Leeward Community College, Pearl Highlands, and Pearlridge. The locations are shown on the map below.

Your home is located within one‐half mile of one of these stations, and we would really like to hear from you as we begin to make plans to guide future public investment and development around the stations. For the purpose of this survey, please consider your neighborhood the area within walking distance of your home and the nearest station.

To select a household member randomly, the adult (anyone 18 years or older) in your household who most recently had a birthday should complete this survey. The year of birth of the adult does not matter. Please spend a few minutes to answer all the questions and return the survey in the enclosed postage‐paid envelope. Your responses will remain completely anonymous.

Your participation in this survey is very important. You will help shape the future of the Aiea‐Pearl City neighborhood for generations to come!

If you have any questions about this survey, please call our staff member, Renee Espiau, at (808) 768‐8050.

Thank you for your time and participation.

Sincerely,

Jiro A. Sumada, Acting Director Department of Planning and Permitting City and County of Honolulu
