Mayor Kirk Caldwell signed a bill on Tuesday extending the city’s ban on sitting and lying on sidewalks in Waikiki to commercial districts throughout Oahu.
The law, aimed at clearing homeless away from storefronts and commercial districts, prohibits obstructing sidewalks from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. and is punishable by fines of up to $1,000.
The law applies to targeted areas in Chinatown, downtown, Kailua, McCully — Moiliili, Wahiawa, Ala Moana Sheridan, Kaneohe, Waimanalo, Kahala, Aina Haina, Niu Valley, Kaimuki and Hawaii Kai. (Click here for maps.)
