City starts removal of Kailua Beach wall
Work started Monday on the removal of a hollow, concrete tile wall at Kailua Beach due to concerns by the city that exposed, rusted rebar could pose a hazard to beachgoers.
"I don’t want kids to play on it and get cut up," said Gary Cabato, director of the Department of Parks and Recreation.
Workers removed a truckload of tiles from the site Monday, the first day of the project. Cabato said workers plan to complete the removal by Friday.
