Design Contract Awarded for Three Rail Stations

Early concept for the Leeward Community College rail station.

The Honolulu rail project is far from standing still, notwithstanding the current “stall” that has the Final Environmental Impact Statement stuck in the governor’s office.

Today’s news involves rail station design and the award of a $5.5 million to HDR/Hawaii Pacific Engineers to design three rail stations – West Loch, Waipahu Transit Center and Leeward Community College. Yesterday's announcement was exactly 10 times larger.

The City announcement said the firm has more than 7,800 professionals in more than 185 locations worldwide. Check out its website.
