Protesters made their way down Kalakaua Avenue today to Kapiolani Park.
Hundreds of protesters marched along Kalakaua Avenue Sunday morning in opposition to the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope at Mauna Kea on Hawaii island.
Organizers circulated flyers via social media for the “Waikiki for Mauna Kea” march, with TMT opponents gathering near the intersection of Kalakaua and Kuhio avenues around 10 a.m.
Shortly after 11 a.m., traffic cameras showed hundreds of people in the street. Honolulu Police Department officers responded to help move protesters onto the sidewalk, but traffic quickly backed up along Kalakaua as people made their way to Kapiolani Park near the Honolulu Zoo.
