Thank you for your kindness.  I wish to launch ideas for an urban renaissance in Honolulu, to make Honolulu city a better place to live and enjoy.  The rail system is not a west-east commuter line – that is, the rail line by itself does nothing to change the urban population dynamics nor culture nor arts nor education: yet the rail station(s) (and line itself) is can be linked to all these themes.  The rail stations have the potential to revive the surrounding area with new businesses, housing -- without cars.  Oahu has >950,000 residents, probably >600,000 cars.  1) Re-distributing workers along the rail line is a large-scale way to ensure that Oahuans became rail riders and 2) making it fun to go to different rail stations (with attractions) -- are two strategies to decrease car use.  On a weekend now I have no desire to go to Kapolei -- if there was a wonderful zoo where the train hovered over elephants, lions, and zebras, I (and a lot of tourists) would go right now -- on rail.
