The O'ahu Island Burial Council is scheduled to take its public meeting on the road today.

The council and members of the public will be taken on a tour of the route for Honolulu's planned $4.3 billion to $4.5 billion elevated commuter rail by rapid transit contractor Parsons Brinckerhoff.

The tour is aimed at familiarizing council members with the route and areas where the construction project could encounter Native Hawaiian burials and other archaeological sites.

The council plans to meet at 1151 Punchbowl St., Room 132 at 8 a.m. Members of the public are welcome to attend but must be on time so the tour can begin at 8:30 a.m. The council is expected to return to the Kalanimoku Building at about 4:15 p.m.

According to an August presentation to the council by city consultant Cultural Surveys Hawaii Inc., there is no doubt that the project will have an adverse effect on archaeological resources.
