Future dock construction may also reduce future slip fee income. Repairs on F and G docks have not impacted revenues. However, when work begins on the cross dock and the floating docks attached to it, this may impact future revenues significantly. Mike Wilson, Chairman of the Department of Land and Natural Resources has provided the Ala Wai Marina Committee with financial information regarding the Dept. of Boating and Ocean Recreation. Much of the information in this report is an interpretation of those numbers and may not reflect the realities of 1995.
Parking remains one of the major problems within the marina.
Public access and free parking to local residences, businesses, and restaurant patrons have made it almost impossible for slip holders to park their cars in the marina. The proposed Hilton Lagoon Project and the closing of Ala Moana Park at night will also add to the problem. Car dealers, rental car companies, and homeless people living in their cars have reduced available parking spots. The Ala Wai Marina Committee supports a control parking program within the marina. Many believe the solution may be found in gates, meters, or permits.
