It would be grossly shortsighted to consider their removal. The reasons to preserve them are too many to count. This is the Eiffel Tower of Hawaii; and a historical monument. Beyond the attraction, it is a place of deep transformative power. Thousands of lives are forever, dramatically changed for the better because of an experience on that mountain. Each of the 3,922 stairs protect Pu’ukeahiakahoe from erosion from thousands of footsteps, which is a severe problem on the unprotected and dangerous ‘backside’ - Moanalua Valley Trail. With the exception of one heart attack, the only deaths recorded on the Stairway to Written Heaven have been from hikers attempting to do it ‘legally’ - Testimony dangerously. The City and County cements a tragic fate for many more hikers to come were the only relatively safe way to reach the top destroyed. Managed access to Ke Kula ‘o Samuel M. Kamakau Laboratory Public Charter School has been successful in keeping parents and students from crawling over fences and through yards on their way to school. Any reasonable person will concede that managed access to another destination in the valley (Haiku Stairs) can alleviate the burden the neighborhood currently suffers with. Many neighbors have done themselves and their neighbors a great disservice by puffing off the legalization of this hike. Managed access would add to the property value, restore peace to the 1 area, and give neighbors a front-row seat to experience this timeless treasure with their families. Lets talk experience design, renovation, security, and management. Never destruction.
