Thank you for your article about the Haiku Stairs, the “Stairway to Heaven” (“City reviewing bid to remove Haiku Stairs on Oahu,” Star-Advertiser, June 13). In the end, it will cost much more than $2.6 million to tear these stairs down. Look at what the rail is costing us compared to what was initially proposed.
Please, Mr. Mayor, don’t do this. These stairs are a world-class asset that can, with managed access, become a moneymaker instead of a money loser for this beautiful island we all live on. There are at least four alternate routes that would not disturb the neighbors. Please reconsider these options for a solution.
