Hamakua and Lower Puna. (Please see https://www.westmauigreenway.org/wmg- <br /> call-to-action.html) <br /> 19.a Continue to adopt the County Street design manual as the County's complete <br /> street design program/policy. <br /> We will be reminding our County's administration and council to adopt this so that <br /> consideration of complete streets is mandated prior to the design of County new <br /> road and road rehabilitation projects. <br /> 19.c Develop an active transportation plan to guide where complete street <br /> improvements should be focused and replace previous pedestrian and bikeway plans. <br /> We support this and also wonder how it dovetails with Item 16a. <br /> 19.d Identify all roles for interdepartmental collaboration in delivering a truly <br /> multimodal transportation system. <br /> Breaking down the silos is extremely important for implementing the GP 2045. It is <br /> very easy to forget this on a daily basis and we hope you incorporate collaboration in <br /> all decisions. Please include the public as partners when appropriate. <br /> 19.e Update traffic impact analysis requirements to include alternative evaluations to <br /> the level of service outcomes, such as vehicle miles traveled and alternative <br /> transportation metrics. <br /> We want to emphasize that the era of unquestioned priority of Level of Service (LOS) <br /> are truly over in progressive communities throughout the land, and it should be here <br /> as well. Moving cars as fast and efficiently as possible to achieve LOS A through <br /> Downtown Hilo is the exact opposite of what we need for safe, accessible and <br /> vibrant streets. Please require alternative evaluations in all TIARs reviewed by the <br /> Planning Department. <br /> 19.f Increase community engagement and education around active transportation <br /> and alternative transportation options. <br /> The CIP process and every County substantial road project should adopt this as a <br /> mantra, at the very beginning. <br /> 20.b Amend the County Code to promote connectivity and discourage neighborhoods <br /> with only one inlet or outlet. <br /> We strongly support this. Even where it may seem infeasible to provide additional <br /> vehicular access, pedestrian and bicycle access should be increased. <br /> PO Box 10702, Hilo, H a w a i`i 9 6 7 2 1 www.hilobayfronttrails.or2 <br /> Our Mission: To create a multi-use trail through scenic downtown Hilo for the health and well-being of its people <br /> and visitors now and into the future. <br />
