Improvement District 2 Project
HCDA's Improvement District 2 Project (ID-2) dramatically improved the infrastructure in approximately 110 acres of land bounded by Keawe, Pohukaina, Cooke, and Ilalo Streets. Major drainage facilities were also installed extending beyond Ala Moana Boulevard along Cooke, Coral and Ilalo Streets to the ocean. The goal of ID-2 was to reconstruct and widen streets, while new curbs, gutters, pavement, sidewalks, fire hydrants and signage were installed, allowing for better traffic flow and safe conditions for drivers, pedestrians and property owners. Utilities such as drainage, sewer and water systems were improved and expanded. These needed improvements were to ensure that the burdensome flooding of streets accompanying average rainfall would be a thing of the past. Also vital to the success of ID-2 was the undergrounding of telephone, electric and cable television lines to improve the area's appearance. This $36.7 million project was completed in October 1990.
