Complete Streets in Honolulu
ROH 12-15 Requires the City to: “Employ a multi-modal approach and incorporate complete streets features in the planning, design, construction, maintenance and operation of transportation facilities and projects…”
5
Objectives Improve Safety Context sensitive solutions Accessibility and mobility for all Balance the needs and comfort of all
modes and users Use national best practices Provide non-motorized options Encourage physical activity Think: “long-term investment” Build partnerships statewide Incorporate trees and landscaping
6
Factors Driving Complete Streets
in Honolulu ROH 12-15 Rail Project opens in 2019 Transit Oriented Development Improve Pedestrian Safety Bike Share in 2015
Retrofitting old infrastructure takes time and money
Priorities (e.g. bike vs. ped vs. bus vs. train)
Paradigm shift for an auto-centric society
Outdated Design Standards
Removing vehicle lanes is still controversial
Staff falls back onto old habits/practices
Challenges

King Street Protected Bike Lane Pilot Project
Mauka side of South King
Street
Installed fall 2014
Designed and built in-house (DTS and DFM)
Built using low-cost materials – easy to modify
Connects Downtown to UH Manoa area

Goals of the Pilot Project Consistency with Complete Streets
concepts and principles
Add multi-modal access to King Street
Provide bicyclists with protection from vehicle traffic
Encourage bicycling by all types of riders
Move bicyclists off sidewalk
Calm traffic and improve efficiency
Collect data (mode choice, traffic volumes, accidents, etc)
Experience Elsewhere
Numerous cities have installed protected lanes
All found that bicycle usage increased
Studies and Data Gathering
Gathering data now and throughout pilot period
Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and metrics for success: - Safety & Accidents - Mode share - Total # of people served by corridor - Effect on local businesses
Public Outreach
From May-2014 and throughout Pilot Project
Stakeholders (City Council, Fire, Police, etc)
Neighborhood Boards
Businesses on King Street
Design and Specifications
Use of low-cost materials
Provide protection to bicyclists with curbs and bollards
Use of green paint in conflict zones
Cyclist-oriented traffic signals (phase 2)

Complete Streets “Philosophy”
• But If you build and operate streets for people, you will get people.
• If you build and operate streets for cars and traffic, you will get cars and traffic.
In summary Complete Streets…
Improve safety for everyone
Provide access and mobility for all
Greater efficiency of overall system
It’s the law
It’s the right thing to do

Streets, Districts, Access, and Mobility Tools
THE TAKEAWAY
The Takeaways
■ Think big picture and develop a strategic plan for
transit-supportive land use, complete streets,
demonstration projects, and modal investments
■ Look beyond the corridor…think complete networks
■ Establish a flexible typology that offers a range of
design elements
■ Integrate land use into complete streets and
understand its implication on street demands, safety,
mobility, access, and livability…DO NOT SILO
■ Establish TDM and parking policies that sync with
community vision and street design principles

Integrating Complete Streets and TOC Development
■ STEP 1: Determine growth (location and scale)
■ STEP 2: Determine access demand
– Worse case scenario for parking and street capacity
– Aggressive scenario where vehicle capacity is constrained
■ STEP 3: Relax vehicle demand
– Shared parking
– Future rail and TOD
– Parking management (supply cap, pricing, unbundling)
– Residential/Employment TDM
Integrating Complete Streets and TOC Development
■ STEP 4: Understand where people move now and in
the future
■ STEP 5: Establish modal priorities
■ STEP 6: Establish Complete Streets Typology, Design
Principles and Guidance
■ STEP 7: Establish performance measures
■ STEP 8: Coding
