Needle van on agenda
The possibility of the state moving its needle exchange and condom disbursing program to the historic OR&L building in Iwilei will be discussed at the Kalihi-Palama Neighborhood Board meeting at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the Kapalama Elementary School cafeteria.
The program, operated by the Community Health Outreach Worker program out of a van parked on public streets, allows drug users to exchange used needles for clean ones.
Chinatown residents have complained that the van, parked between Nu'uanu Avenue and Maunakea Street every day except Sunday, attracts drug dealers, addicts and prostitutes.
