IT'S CALLED COMPLETE STREETS,
CHANGES THAT COULD BE COMING

FUTURE...
AND YOU GET A CHANCE TO WEIGH IN
ON POSSIBLE CHANGES TO
TRAFFIC LIGHTS, BIKE LANES, ON
STREET
PARKING...
JAI IS LIVE IN KAILUA WITH MORE
ON WHAT
IS BEING DISCUSSED...
JAI:
Several events are planned this
week in an
effort to make roads safer and
better serve
communities on Oahu. Complete
Streets is a
transportation and design
approach to
create a comprehensive,
integrated network of streets
that are safe for
all people, whether traveling by
foot, bicycle,
transit, or automobile.
The City and County of Honolulu
adopted the
Complete Streets ordinance in
2012,
which changed how it planned,
designed, and
constructed its streets. Now,
officials are turning
their attention to streets in
Kailua, Kaneohe, and
Pearl City.
Several meetings are planned to
inform the
public and gather feedback on
the
following areas: Kaneohe:
Kamehameha Highway from Likelike
Highway to Kahekili
Highway, Haiku Road and Kahuhipa
Street
between Kahekili Highway and
Kamehameha Highway, and Kaneohe
Bay Drive between Mokapu Saddle
Road and Mokapu
Boulevard. Keaahala Road between
Kahekili
Highway and Kamehameha Highway
will also be studied.
In Kailua, Kailua Road, Kalaheo
Avenue, Kuulei
Road, Mokulua Drive, Oneawa
Street, Kihapai
Street, and Mokapu Road. Kainalu
Drive and
Maluniu Avenue will also be
studied.
And in Pearl City, Waimano Home
Road,
and area network roadways
including
Noelani Street, Hoomalu Street,
and Hoolaulea
Street, along with Moanalua
Road, will
also be studied.
Some fo the topics being dealt
with are
pedestrian safety improvements,
dedicated bicycle facilities,
improvements
to better accommodate transit
users, traffic
signal timing, and streetscape
features to
improve the walking environment
and livability of the community
We will keep you updated on the
meetings and what comes of some
