The report covers the preliminary study of the Marine alternative to the land-based rapid transit system for the city and county of Honolulu to be operational by 1979. The objective of this study is to determine, particularly from engineering viewpoints, the feasibility of the inland waterways system which will convert the existing canals and drainage streams into navigable channels. Major efforts under this study include study of: The hydrological and oceanographic constraints; dredging requirements; canal feeder boat requirements; and preliminary cost data involving initial construction, operation, and maintenance of the waterway potential of four selected drainageways on Oahu--Ala Wai Canal and Manoa-Palolo Stream, Nuuanu Stream, Kapalama Drainage Channel, and Kalihi Stream. These waterways will be related to four local route systems, namely Hawaii Kai, Kahala, Ala Wai, and Moanalua-Kapalama-Nuuanu. It was concluded that the construction, operation, and maintenance of the four selected waterways seem to be technically feasible; but their economic feasibility cannot be determined until the entire Oceanic Express System is thoroughly analyzed.
