The guard prohibits people from entering. Entering the path requires bypassing two fenced gates. The guard (G4S contracted) arrives early in the morning at around 04:30. There is another gate that must be bypassed to access the trail head. All gates have "Private Property - No trespassing, violaters will be prosecuted" signs posted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.81.0.132 (talk) 21:02, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
Open Haiku Stairs to Operate
[edit]This amazing staircase can be a considerable asset to Honolulu City and the community at large. Considering the risks the city can hire youth members from the surrounding community to be safety officials, train them and position them along the Staircase in strategic positions so that they can access evey part of the stairs in case of an emmergency. Job creation is not a complex equation that requires a laboratory and chemicals. lol

historic item
[edit]shouldn't the haiku stairs be considered a historic monument ? rather than tear down our history, shouldn't it be saved ? thousands lost their lives in pearl harbor; just looking at the pictures brings that to your soul. haiku stairs...save them, open them, remember them 2603:7081:3403:6A7C:942D:F38E:9F39:BFD1 (talk) 13:06, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
Ethical photo?
[edit]The main photo in the article is a person (presumably a tourist) that is walking the stairs. Given that the stairs are off limits since 1987, is it ethical to display such a picture? I don't think so - it gives a misleading impression that the stairs are accessible. I changed the picture accordingly for now. effeietsanders 19:51, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Reports are starting to come from different sources that, at least parts, if not all, will be removed later this year. Hawaii News Now CNN
