Honolulu's Chinatown
Channel: ThinkTech Hawaii
Date: 2017-08-16

Honolulu’s Chinatown is the oldest and most authentic in the United States.  In 1973, Chinatown was on the the National Register of Historic Places. In 1991, The Special Design District was created with the express intent to keep the character of Chinatown.  
Now, Merchants are going out of business and emergency vehicles can hardly maneuver through the narrow streets. With little notice, the Department of Transportation has installed bulb outs on several corners of Chinatown in violation of the Special Design District ordinance. 

Navigating the Journey with MarshaRose Joyner welcomes Stanford Yuen, a leader in Chinatown, the Chinese community and the Culture and Arts District. As a Downtown Neighborhood Board member, he is a strong advocate for improving conditions in Downtown-Chinatown. Yuen is a past president of Mun Lun School, one of the nation’s largest and oldest Chinese language schools and on the University of Hawaii’s Board of Regents.
