SHADE Presentation by Dean Sakamoto

Dean Sakamoto presented the Chinatown Urban Acupuncture (CUA) project to

over 30 members of the State of Hawaii TOD Task Force and members of the

public at the State Capitol. Dean emphasized that Chinatown is only one of

twenty-one future Transit Oriented Districts (TOD) that need planning and

urban design. The CUA project is an alternative example of TOD planning

through intern training and professional mentorship. Honolulu's $7B rail

project is due be completed in less than 4-6 years. Special thanks to Senator

Suzanne Chun Oakland and Ben Villaflor, Sargent-At-Arms and their respective

staff.
