Aloha Ray,  Well presented view of what is possible.  You provide real examples of what is working in other places and it can work in Honolulu.  Why didn't government leaders consider these types of public/private partnerships prior to building rail. The City could have incorporated features into the Rail design that make the concepts you describe more easily implemented and secure commitments from developer prior to building Rail.  One example of how your concept could have been implemented, but wasn't--In Kapolei the Rail line begins a half mile away from what will be, in September 2016, the 3rd largest shopping center in Honolulu.  What financial benefit could have been realized if City leadership had implemented this public/private partnership?  In Kapolei the Rail begins in the middle of a housing development with inadequate parking that requires a long walk or a shuttle to arrive at the Rail station.  Who is accountable for the lack of planning of the rail project?
