DC808 this morning caught up with Honolulu City Council members Ikaika Anderson and Romy Cachola, who are in Washington for the rail convention known as Rail~volution

Both council members said they’ve been busy attending sessions with a focus on financing — or as Cachola puts it, “the dollar signs,” — and transit oriented development. 

Check Civil Beat later for complete coverage from our interview with Anderson and Cachola. 

Cachola reviews his conference schedule for the day.

Cachola and Anderson met DC808 for coffee at the Marriott in Woodley Park, where the conference is being held (also where they’re staying).
