Pedestrian bridge connecting Wahiawa and Whitmore Village sparks controversy Pedestrian bridge connecting Wahiawa and Whitmore Village sparks controversy By Jolanie Martinez | December 12, 2020 at 7:56 PM HST - Updated December 14 at 4:09 AM HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - While a pedestrian bridge in Central Oahu offers another way for people to get to and from Wahiawa and Whitmore Village, the project has been a divisive issue. State Sen. Donovan Dela Cruz, who represents Central Oahu, said residents have been asking for a secondary access point for several years now. “The Wahiawa Transit Center is in the middle of Wahiawa, the satellite city hall, a lot of the retail and medical services are all in Wahiawa,” said Dela Cruz. “And so that’s where the community association at the time asked for access.”
