EXHIBIT A Action IRAN-2.1a: Amend[s] Chapter 23 Subdivision Code to incorporate connectivity standards [(EnaGted by pk*] Policy TRAN-2.2: Access Management. To preserve the through functions of arterials and major collectors, driveway access along new arterials and major collectors shall be minimized to the greatest extent consistent with the need to provide access to adjoining property. Access to such adjoining properties shall be planned to occur from local streets, and not from the arterial or collector road, whenever possible. On existing arterials and major collectors, the number of access driveways currently permitted [sha44-]should not be increased, and when development is proposed that would increase the usage of an existing driveway access, every effort should be made to eliminate the driveway access in favor of access at an existing or planned intersection. Four-way intersections with arterials and major collectors [&#a44] should be permitted only as shown on the Official Transportation Network Map (Figures 4-2a to 4-2d), in order to preserve the through functions of arterials and major collectors. Action TRAN-2.2a: Update the Official Transportation Network Maps with intersection locations as they are determined through preliminary engineering reports or other plans and/or studies (Figures 4-2a and 4-2b) (PD, on-going). Objective TRAN-3. Multi-Modal System. To develop a multi-modal transportation system to encourage walking, biking, transit, and other non-vehicular modes of travel. A multi-modal system needs to be attractive, safe, comfortable, convenient, accessible, environmentally friendly, and affordable. Such a system would reduce congestion, improve air quality, reduce fuel consumption, and increase healthy activity. Not only would the system enhance the mobility of the elderly and youth, who do not drive, it would also make it possible for residents to divert automobile ownership expenses to other daily needs, such as a homeownership mortgage or insurance. The network could connect pathways within and outside of street rights-of-way. The system should provide convenient transfers between modes of transportation. Policy TRAN-3.1: Street Standards. County street standards should be pedestrian-friendly, safely accommodate bicycles, accessible to the disabled, and appropriate for its surrounding land use context. Action TRAN-3.1a: Complete on-going effort to revise County of Hawaii Street Standards (PD, 1-2). Policy TRAN-3.2: Public Right-of-Way Maintenance. Recognizing that the County is not currently staffed or equipped to maintain landscaping within street rights-of-ways, a combination of new and existing tools, both public and private, [shalt—]should be developed to implement a landscaping maintenance program. Action TRAN-3.2a: Determine staffing and equipment requirements for landscaping maintenance program (DPW, PD, 1-2). Action TRAN-3.2b: Identify financing tools for maintenance programs through public financing plan (DPW, PD, Fin., 2-3). Action TRAN-3.2c: Implement financing plan for maintenance programs (DPW, PD, Fin., 2-3). Policy TRAN-3.3: Right-of-Way Landscaping. Recognizing that the availability of water should dictate the nature of landscaping within public rights-of-way, lusher landscaping [shall—]should be provided on streets where reclaimed wastewater will be available for irrigation as noted on the Official Public Facilities 9
