Construction on rail could restart as early as Monday, Pacific Business News reports. Last month, the Historic Preservation Division signed off on archaeological survey for the length of the rail system. With this approval in hand, the project then received two key approvals by two Hawaii City Council committees, allowing a special management area use permit and shoreline setback variance as well as an agreement among the state Department of Transportation, HART and the city that allows the rail to be developed in sections on state property between Pearl City and Ala Moana Center. The full council could vote on these measures as early as Wednesday.
