Safe Routes to School on Kīlauea Avenue | Honolulu News

Kīlauea Avenue in Waikea is getting a major safety upgrade with the launch of the Safe Routes to School Project, designed to protect students biking and walking to Waikea Elementary, Intermediate, and High Schools. Construction is underway—temporary but essential—to build safer paths amid rising traffic crashes on the island. With most students already walking, biking, or being dropped off (only 30% use buses), this initiative supports healthier communities and builds on proven statewide success. Work runs weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. between Ohea and Puainako Streets; drivers are urged to use alternate routes. The project aims for completion by end of 2027, and the Department of Education offers an express pass for students needing alternatives.
