Complete Streets: Direction for Complete Streets
• Promote Efficient Land Use:• Mixed-use developments can encourage pedestrian and bicycle activity.
• Development should be focused around a five-minute walking radius within neighborhoods.
• Improve Pedestrian and Bike Connectivity to Destinations:• Must continue to implement pedestrian and bikeway connections to improve
networks connectivity.
• Potential to improve network connectivity at cul-de-sacs, freeways, rivers and other man-made or natural impediments for pedestrians and cyclists.
Complete Streets: Direction for Complete Streets
• Roadway design speeds should match target and posted speeds. • Wide lanes and shoulder conditions encourage speeding. Road geometry should
be tightened to slow traffic.
• Many of the complete street project being done for City and County of Honolulu are achieving multimodal capacity by restriping of lanes. Similar approaches should be done for State roads. The reapportioned roadway space can be used for other modes of transportation (e.g., bikeways, wider sidewalk, shorter crossing distances). This is especially relevant for rural communities where State Highways are the principal connector and commercial street.
Complete Streets: Direction for Complete Streets
• Highways:
• Local Streets:• Older urban neighborhoods such as Kalihi, Liliha and Makiki have narrow street
networks, so road widening may not be an option to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists. The use of Shared Streets may become a viable option in achieving safer multimodal access.
