Communication No. 2019-09 4.1.3 Goal, Objectives, Policies, and Actions Transportation Goal: An efficient, safe, and attractive m ulti - modal transportation system integrated with land use planning that allows movement around and through Kona with minimal reliance on the automobile. Objective TRAN - 1: Transportation and Land Use. To organize growth on a regional level in Kona , growt h should be compact and transit - supportive. Compact mixed - use villages along transit routes provide sufficient densities to support transit feasibility and enable people to meet a variety of daily needs within walking distance. Policy TRAN - 1 .1: Official Transportation Network Map . The Official Transportation Network Map shall show proposed transit routes, proposed arterials and collectors, and pedestrian/bicycle paths (see Figures 4 - 2a to 4 - 2d). This map shall designate reco mmend the functional classif ication of the roadway. The purpose of this map is to show intended interconnections, plan and preserve these corridors, budget public improvements, and provide notice to affected landowners of potential impacts from these projects. As applicable, permit approvals (e.g., rezonings, subdivisions, planned unit developments , plan approvals ) shall commit dedicate the rights - of - way and/or improvements of proposed roadways shown on the Official Transportation Map that traverse through the project area in accorda nce with HCC 23 (subdivisions). When a permitted action occurring along proposed roads depicted on the Official Transportation Network Map requires a TIAR, the extent of dedicated rights of way and/or improvements shall be proportionate to the pact. If the corridor alignment has not been sufficiently studied, the Planning Director has the discretion to determ ine an appropriate action including realigning or other appropriate feasible alternative prior to the tentative subdivision/plan approval. Action T RAN 1 .1a: Adopt s Official Transportation Network Map (Enacted by plan) . Action TRAN - 1.1b: Update the accu racy of the Official Transportation Network Maps with alignment locations as they are determined through preliminary engineering reports or other plans and/or studies (Figures 4 - 2a and 4 - 2b) (PD, on - going). Policy T RAN - 1. 2 : Trunk Line le Highway (Mid - Level Road) shall function as the trunk transit route connecting Kailua Village with the airport, along which transit - oriented developments (TODs) will be located. As the trunk transit route, there will should be future allowance for a ded icated transit - way within the right - of - way . and the headways will The time interval between vehicles moving in the same direction on the same route should be of the highest lowest amount among all transit routes in Kona ( s ee Figure 4 - 2a). Developments alon g this trunk line should, as a condition of approval for rezoning, design roadways to accommodate bus stops and transit stops that are not in the right of way, and set - aside land area for bus transit shelters. Action T RAN - 1.2a: Design and construct Keoho lole Hi g h way (Mid - Level Road) in functional sections. 1) Phase I - Palani Road to Kealakehe Parkway a) Design ready (PD, 1 - 2 ) b) Construction Ready (DPW, 2 - 3) c) Construct (DOT , DPW, 3 - 5) 5
