Videographer Diane Lee chronicled the cleanup of Nimitz Highway in Honolulu before APEC. This video is part of a series showing what was done to put the city’s best face forward for the thousands of visitors — and media — attending the conference from Nov. 8-13. Nimitz is the main route from Honolulu International Airport to Waikiki, where most of the event will be held.
