Richard Borreca’s commentary in the Sunday edition refers to Chicago for guidance on what to do with the Office of Hawaiian Affairs’ land in Kakaako (“Good public planning for waterfront must prevail,” Star-Advertiser, On Politics, Feb. 12).
Chicago has preserved land on the lakefront by using it for a museum, aquarium, planetarium and a concert venue. A similar use would be appropriate in Kakaako.
Chicago’s lakefront has an aquarium and the Field Museum. The museum had an information placard about Hawaii in a Chinatown display. An aquarium was long planned for at Fisherman’s Wharf, but not built.
There also is a concert venue next door, across from the museum.
