A roundup of recent stories about Kailua and Windward Oʻahu from Hawaii news sources.

## New DMV Kiosk Opens at Kailua Foodland

Renewing your vehicle registration just got a lot easier for Windward residents. The City and County of Honolulu has opened a new self-service DMV kiosk at **Foodland in Kailua Town Center**, making it the 11th such kiosk on Oʻahu. The machine allows motorists to renew eligible vehicle registrations and receive their documents immediately — no trip to a staffed DMV office required. The kiosk is accessible during Foodland's regular operating hours, including evenings and weekends. [Source: City and County of Honolulu](https://www.honolulu.gov/news/?ref=kailuatoday.com)

In partnership with the State Department of Land and Natural Resources, the effort planted the first trees along the dunes as part of a long-term initiative to restore the natural coastal ecosystem at one of Oʻahu's most beloved beaches.
