Honolulu City Council moves to destroy ‘Stairway to Heaven’ – By Conor Skelding (New York Post) / Sept 11 2021
Officials in Hawaii want the “Stairway to Heaven” to go to hell.
The Honolulu City Council moved to remove the city’s famous Haiku Stairs, a terrifyingly steep series of 3,922 steps that winds along the spine of a mountain range and leaves hikers feeling as if they’re in the clouds.
Local officials say the 70-year-old illicit attraction, which could earn hikers a $1,000 fine, is dangerous and not worth the trouble.
The body unanimously approved a resolution to remove the stairs “to stop trespassing, reduce disturbances to local neighborhoods, increase public safety, remove potential liability to the City, and protect the environment,” according to a meeting agenda and sfgate.com.
