Honolulu Rail Transit - Honolulu AIA 6/10

Hawaii State Capitol January 18 2010: "At-grade Rail" The American Institute of Architects' Hawai'i chapter estimated "the difference per mile of an above-ground to an at-grade (street-level rail line) at $200 million per mile difference in costs. So if you just did it for half the distance, say 10 miles out of 20 miles, that's a $2 billion savings. And again, that's the kind of adjustment you might want to have to make because of the changing economy and the fact that people can't stand more tax burden at this time," Governor Linda Lingle said.
