flag Honolulu launches a Downtown BID on Oct. 20, 2025, to improve safety and cleanliness, funded by business assessments, with operations starting July 2026.

flag Honolulu is establishing a new Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) effective October 20, 2025, expanding safety and cleanliness efforts across a larger downtown area. flag Funded by business assessments, the BID will boost street cleaning, lighting, landscaping, and security, with operations launching by July 2026. flag Officials aim to improve the area’s appeal for workers, residents, and businesses, supporting economic growth. flag While welcomed by many, the initiative raises concerns about displaced homeless individuals being moved to nearby neighborhoods like Chinatown, which faces its own challenges despite recent city investments. flag The BID is designed to complement, not replace, city services.
