INTRODUCTION 1.1 DOWNTOWN HILO Downtown Hilo, rich with history and small -town values, could be considered a gem for those in search of a place that for years has remained virtually unaffected by the ever - changing world around it. It is a place that people go to when craving a combination of the simple life and a way to quench their shopping, dining, and entertainment needs. Of the featured attractions in Downtown Hilo, the Hilo Farmers Market is probably the favorite among the locals and visitors alike. It is an open market that sells locally grown produce and flowers and locally made arts and crafts. Adjacent to the Farmers Market is five blocks of little shops and special interest stores. The area is perfect for looking for gifts not normally found at the shopping malls. Cafe Pesto, Cronies Bar and Grill, and Pescatore are a few of the trendy dining spots in Downtown Hilo. One of the intriguing entertainment venues in town is historic Palace Theatre. Used in the past primarily for showing movies, the theatre is now a place not only for cinema, but for events such as plays and small concerts as well. Kress Cinemas is another establishment located in one of Hilo's many historic downtown buildings. Mooheau Park rounds out the list of some of the popular entertainment spots in Downtown Hilo. With scenic Hilo Bay as a backdrop, the park is an excellent place for picnics, fundraisers, concerts and local sporting events. Although the Downtown Hilo attractions are plentiful, the competition has grown. Prince Kuhio Plaza, a shopping mall that opened in 1985 and nearby Wal-Mart have become the hub for Hilo shoppers. If Downtown Hilo, otherwise known as the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area is a reflection of the past, "one- stop /all -in -one" stores have become the trend of the present, and possibly the future. 1.2 DOWNTOWN HILO SUB -AREA For planning the growth and redevelopment of Downtown Hilo, the Hawaii Redevelopment Agency (HRA) in 1980 formally defined Downtown Hilo as the Downtown Hilo Sub -area. It is bound by the Wailuku River to the North, Hilo Bay to the East, Ponahawai Street to the South, and Kapiolani Street to the West. For more information on the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area, see page D 1. 1.3 THE DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION In 1962, a group within the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area called the Downtown Improvement Association (DIA) was formed. The DIA, whose membership consists primarily of downtown merchants, actively addresses issues that it feels, if resolved, would sustain and /or improve the business and livelihood of Downtown Hilo. The stated goal of the DIA is to restore Downtown Hilo back to being the social, cultural and commercial center of East Hawaii. •1• 1.4 REPORT PURPOSE Many Downtown Hilo merchants, including those belonging to the DIA, believe that in order for Downtown Hilo to remain competitive with shopping malls such as the Prince Kuhio Plaza, adequate customer parking should be provided. They believe that currently, there is insufficient parking downtown, an issue that they believe must be resolved. The purpose of this report is to investigate the parking concerns of merchants in Downtown Hilo and identify options to address these concerns. This will be the final report and will update a draft that was completed on 3/11/04. The updates will include: • Revision to description of the Downtown Hilo area; • New listing of the loading zones and bus stops in the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area; • New description of the speed limits in the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area; • Revision to the sidewalk improvement suggestions; • New listing of the pedestrian crosswalk flashing beacons in the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area; • New listing of the ADA compliant sidewalk ramps in the Downtown Hilo Sub - Area that were completed as of 12/30/09; • Removal of the parking areas section; • New public parking areas section including parking added as of 12/30/09; • New public parking meter areas section; • New private parking lot section; • New exemption area parking deficit estimate; • Revision to findings section; • Revision to conclusions section; • New parking additions planned section; • Revision to recommendations section; • Revision to traffic signal locations detail to include flashing beacon locations; • New loading zone and bus stop locations detail; • Revision to crosswalk locations detail to include ADA ramp locations; • New public parking time limits detail; • New public parking count detail; • New exemption area parking deficit estimate detail; • New proposed public parking additions detail; • Revision to description of public parking within Downtown Hilo Sub -Area; and • Revision to the public parking count in the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area to reflect the conditions as of 12/30/09. •2• IL TRAFFIC CIRCULATION 2.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS The Downtown Hilo Sub -Area consists primarily of two -lane (one lane per direction) roads, with the main exception being Kamehameha Avenue, which is a wider, four - lane (two lanes per direction) road. For more information on the existing conditions, see page D2. Downtown traffic is made up mostly of passenger vehicles, busses, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Kamehameha Avenue and Mamo Street are especially busy with vehicular and pedestrian traffic on Wednesdays and Saturdays when the Hilo Farmers Market is in operation. Kamehameha Avenue, adjacent to the Mooheau Bus Terminal and the Hawaii Belt Road also services a majority of the bus traffic and those heading to or coming from the Hamakua side of the island or the East side of town. The remainder of the Downtown Hilo streets receives a lot of the local traffic including people commuting to work or school or those doing business in downtown. The overall downtown area becomes congested for a relatively short period in the morning and in the afternoon on the days that at least one of the three Hilo public schools (Hilo Union Elementary School, Hilo Intermediate School, and Hilo High School) is in session. To help mitigate the morning work and school traffic, temporary one -way routes on Kapiolani Street and Waianuenue Avenue were created. 2.2 ONE -WAY ROUTES Permanent one -way routes include: • Kilauea Avenue in the Hamakua (Northwesterly) direction, between Ponahawai Street and Mamo Street. • Kilauea Avenue in the Puna (Southeasterly) direction, between Haili Street and Mamo Street. • Nawahi Lane in the mauka (Southwesterly) direction. • Punahoa Street in the Hamakua direction (Northwesterly), between Mamo Street and Furneaux Lane. • Furneaux Lane in the mauka direction. • Keawe Street in the Hamakua (Northwesterly) direction, between Kilauea Avenue and Wailuku Drive. • Kalakaua Street in the mauka (Southwesterly) direction. • Shipman Street in the makai (Northeasterly) direction. • Wailuku Drive in the mauka (Southwesterly) direction, between Kamehameha Avenue and Kinoole Street. • Kekaulike Street in the Hamakua (Northwesterly) direction. • Kinoole Street in the Puna (Southeasterly) direction, between Wailukaj Drive and Ponahawai Street. • Ululani Street in the Hamakua (Northwesterly) direction, between Waianuenue Avenue and Wailuku Drive. •3• Temporary one -way routes include: • Kapiolani Street: Traffic to flow in the Hamakua to Puna (Southeasterly) direction, between Waianuenue Avenue and Haili Street, from 5:00 am to 1:00 pm on Sundays. • Kapiolani Street: Traffic to flow in the Hamakua to Puna (Southeasterly) direction, between Waianuenue Avenue and Haili Street, from 7:15 am to 8:00 am, on school days. • Waianuenue Avenue: Traffic to flow in the makai (Northeasterly) direction, between Komohana Street' and Kamehameha Avenue, from 7:15 am to 8:00 am, on school days. For more information on the one -way routes in Downtown Hilo, see page D3. 2.3 TRAFFIC SIGNALS There are a total of 10 traffic signals within the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area. They include the signals at the intersections of: • Kaiulani Street and Waianuenue Avenue. • Kinoole Street and Waianuenue Avenue. • Keawe Street and Waianuenue Avenue. • Kamehameha Avenue and Waianuenue Avenue. • Kinoole Street and Haili Street. • Keawe Street and Haili Street. • Keawe Street and Mamo Street. • Kapiolani Street and Ponahawai Street. • Kinoole Street and Ponahawai Street. • Kilauea Avenue and Ponahawai Street. For more information on the traffic signal locations in Downtown Hilo, see page D4 2.4. LOADING ZONES AND BUS STOPS There are a total of 20 loading zones and I bus stop within the Downtown Hilo Sub - Area. The loading zones include: • 3- Minute Passenger Loading Zone (5); • 5- Minute Active Loading Zone (4); and • 30- Minute Freight Loading Zone (11). For more information on the loading zones and bus stops in Downtown Hilo, see page D5. 2.5 SPEED LIMITS All streets within the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area have a 25 mile per hour posted speed limit. In III. PEDESTRIAN MOVEMENT 3.1 SIDEWALKS The sidewalks in Downtown Hilo provide a pedestrian - friendly environment for the following reasons: • Sidewalks along all of the major streets; • Sidewalks in fairly good condition; and • Overhead cover along the heavily traveled Kamehameha Avenue storefront area. In addition to the sidewalks, other reasons that make Downtown Hilo a nice place to walk include: • Reasonably safe streets; • Relatively small blocks; • Narrow streets; • Traffic signals at the intersections in the pedestrian- oriented part of town; • Slower vehicular speeds; • Crosswalks at all of the major intersections; • Implementation of pedestrian crosswalk flashing beacons; and • Completion of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant sidewalk ramps. Additional improvements that could be made include: • Upgrading the sidewalks, like those along the Kamehameha Avenue storefront area that have become cracked, uneven, and are tripping hazards; • Providing overhead cover along more of the streets; • Increasing storefront street lighting for safety; and • Installing bulb -outs at intersection corners. For more information on the sidewalks in Downtown Hilo, refer to page D6. 3.2 WALKING PATHS For more information on the walking paths in Downtown Hilo, refer to page D6. 3.3 CROSSWALKS For more information on the crosswalks in Downtown Hilo, refer to page D7. 3.4 PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK FLASHING BEACONS There is I pedestrian crosswalk flashing beacon (system) within the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area: • Kamehameha Avenue crosswalk at the intersection of Mamo Street. For more information on the pedestrian crosswalk flashing beacon locations in Downtown Hilo, see page D4. •5• 3.5 ADA COMPLIANT SIDEWALK RAMPS Since the completion of the first draft of this Downtown Hilo Parking Analysis on 3/11/04, a number of the ADA compliant sidewalk ramps that were planned for downtown were completed. The completed ADA compliant sidewalk ramps include: • Furneaux Lane — Kilauea Avenue (2); • Furneaux Lane — Punahoa Street (1); • Haili Street — Ululani Street (4); • Kalakaua Street — East Hawaii Cultural Center driveways (4); • Kamehameha Avenue — Furneaux Lane (2); • Kamehameha Avenue — Haili Street (6); • Kamehameha Avenue — Kalakaua Street (5); • Kamehameha Avenue — Mamo Street (4); • Kamehameha Avenue — Nawahi Lane (2); • Kamehameha Avenue — Ponahawai Street (2); • Kamehameha Avenue — Shipman Street (2); • Kapiolani Street — Homelani Memorial Cemetery Entrance (2); • Keawe Street — Furneaux Lane (4); • Keawe Street — Kalakaua Street (1); • Keawe Street — Mamo Street (1); • Keawe Street — Shipman Street (4); • Keawe Street — Wailuku Drive (4); • Kilauea Avenue — Haili Street (2); • Kilauea Avenue — Mamo Street (6); • Kinoole Street — Haili Street (1); • Kinoole Street — Kalakaua Street (1 new & 1 repair); • Kinoole Street — Mamo Street (3); • Mamo Street — Punahoa Street (4); • Ponahawai Street — Punahoa Street (2); • Shipman Street — Kekaulike Street (3); • Waianuenue Avenue — Kaiulani Street (3); • Waianuenue Avenue — Kamehameha Avenue (5); • Waianuenue Avenue — Keawe Street (1); • Waianuenue Avenue — Kekaulike Street (3); • Waianuenue Avenue — Kinoole Street (3); • Waianuenue Avenue — Ululani Street (4); • Wailuku Drive — Kekaulike Street (2); and • Wailuku Drive — Ululani Street (2) For more information on the ADA compliant sidewalk ramp locations in Downtown Hilo, see page D7. W IV. DOWNTOWN HILO PARKING 4.1 BACKGROUND Parking meters, if enforced properly, can serve several important purposes within a commercial district like Downtown Hilo. They help to: • Promote parking turnover. • Distribute limited on- street parking time equitably. • Provide space for the short-term shopper and business client. • Maximize the economic viability of downtown by providing opportunities for more people to park conveniently. • Generate revenue. At a time when parking in Downtown Hilo was controlled by parking meters, there were an estimated 918 parking meters in operation. Of the three County of Hawaii staff available to maintain the proper function of the Hilo parking meters, only one was assigned to, and could be spared for meter enforcement. The limited number of enforcement personnel made it difficult for the meters to regulate parking the way they were intended. In an attempt to resolve some of the existing and projected future parking problems in Downtown Hilo, the DIA held a town meeting on July 12, 1994. One issue that was brought up was how the ineffectiveness and cost of metered parking prevented the downtown merchants from remaining competitive with the shopping malls. It was at this time that the DIA proposed the idea to remove all parking meters in the downtown area. Consequently, the continued efforts of the DIA Parking Committee brought forth a series of events that led to the removal of all, but an estimated 31 meters near the Post Office: • In 1996, the DIA Parking Committee, with County Council of Hawaii's approval, gained free two -hour short, medium and long term parking in Downtown Hilo. • The DIA Parking Committee effort continued with an experimental project that allowed free eight -hour parking in the Bayfront Parking Lot from December 2, 1996 to May 31, 1997. • In 1998, the County Council of Hawaii passed a resolution to establish a three month trial period where parking meter payments would not be required. • In 1999, a resolution to remove and cap the Downtown parking meter heads was reviewed, but not passed by the County Council of Hawaii. • In 2000, Ordinance No. 00 89, permitting the removal of the Downtown parking meter zones, except those adjacent to Post Office was introduced and ap ssed. • After Ordinance No. 00 89 was passed, the meters remained, but the meter heads were covered. • In 2003, a decision was made to permanently remove all the unused parking meters and posts. • From late June 2003 to mid September 2003, the parking meters and posts, except those adjacent to the Post Office, were removed by the County of Hawaii. •7• 4.2 PUBLIC PARKING AREAS As established in the Hawaii County Code, there are a total of 31 public parking areas within the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area. Included in these areas are 2 two -hour time limit parking lots and 2 eight -hour time limit parking lots. On- street parking includes 1 one -hour time limit parking area, 19 two -hour time limit parking areas, and 7 eight -hour time limit parking areas. From the time the first draft of this report was completed on 3/11/04 to 12/30/09, the County of Hawaii made several parking additions /revisions in the 31 public parking areas in the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area. The plan was to assess the subject area, determine if the existing conditions fit the needs of the current businesses and patrons, and make the necessary changes with the intent of safely adding as much parking as possible. The parking additions /revisions include: • Kamehameha Avenue at Kalakaua Street — Converted 2 two -hour parking stalls to a bus stop — 1/7/08; • Kinoole Street at Haili Street — Converted 1 two -hour parking stall and 1 eight - hour parking stall to ADA stalls — 6/13/08; • Kamehameha Avenue and Wailuku Drive — Removed traffic circle, added two - hour and eight -hour parking stalls, and added active loading zone stalls (9 eight - hour stalls, 1 two -hour stall, and 3 active loading zone stalls added) — 9/14/08; • County Parking Lot (Kamehameha Lot) — Converted a portion of the two -hour diagonal stalls to perpendicular stalls (6 two -hour stalls and 1 ADA stall added) — 10/l/08; • Ululani Street — Converted 1 two -hour parking stall to an ADA stall — 1/21/09; • Mamo Street — Converted 1 two -hour parking stall to an ADA stall — 7/15/09; • Haili Street — Converted 1 two -hour parking stall to an active loading zone stall — 11/25/09 The items listed above equate to a net gain of 12 regular parking stalls, 6 ADA parking stalls, 1 bus stop, and 4 active loading zone stalls. For locations and detailed descriptions of the parking lots and on street parking areas, refer to pages D8.1 and D8.2, Exhibit 1, and Table 1. 4.3 PUBLIC PARKING METER AREAS Due to the enactment of Ordinance No. 00 89, there are approximately only 31 meters in operation in Downtown Hilo. For parking meter location information and data on the parking meters removed and those still in operation, refer to page D8.1 and Exhibit 2. For total public parking, including metered stalls, refer to Table 1. 4.4 PRIVATE PARKING LOTS Currently, there are an estimated 112 private parking lots within the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area. The lots range from clearly striped paved areas to unmarked gravel areas. Additionally, not all the lots provide the minimum required disability stalls. For detailed descriptions of the private parking lots, refer to Table 2. In 4.5 ON -SITE PARKING EXEMPTION Section 25 -4 -59.2 of the Hawaii County Code exempts the area of Downtown Hilo, bound by Kinoole Street, Ponahawai Street, Hilo Bay and the Wailuku River from the standard off - street parking and loading requirements. For more information on the on -site parking exemption boundary in Downtown Hilo, refer to page D9. This exemption, in effect, relieves property owners of the responsibility to provide adequate employee and customer parking, and covers a significant portion of the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area. It should be noted, as shown in the previous section and in Table 2 that several businesses within the subject area do provide private parking for their employees and customers to use. 4.6 EXEMPTION AREA PARKING DEFICIT ESTIMATE The County of Hawaii conducted a parking study in an effort to determine the parking needs of the exempt area. The primary goals of the study were to determine the parking required, the private and public parking available, and the existing parking surpluses and deficits. In order to simplify the calculations, there were three assumptions that were made. The assumptions include: • 100% occupancy and full commercial use of all usable building floor space; • 1 parking space required per every 300 square feet of gross floor area; and • All existing buildings and current gross floor area values taken from data books provided by the County of Hawaii Planning Department, compiled in 1985 and last edited on 12/27/93. Deficits - 1977 total stalls, 1826 regular stalls, and 151 ADA stalls. The shortages calculated are considered to be theoretical values and should not be used for design purposes without further justification. For more information on the exempt area parking deficits, refer to pages D 10.1 and 1310.2. V. THE PROBLEM Parking in downtown Hilo has essentially been converted from metered parking to time limit parking. Time limit parking, unlike metered parking, is not self - regulating. Where meters have the ability to monitor parking with a built -in timer, time limit parking relies primarily upon enforcement to be effective. Since no significant additions to the County of Hawaii enforcement staff have been made, parking and traffic problems have steadily increased with the conversion to time limit parking. The most notable problems include: 1. The general disregard of the time limit zones. 2. People parking for an extended period in short-term parking areas, such as: • The two -hour parking zone near the storefronts along Kamehameha Avenue. • The one -hour parking zone near the storefronts along Keawe Street. 3. Added traffic congestion as people drive (cruise) in search of available stalls. 4. A loss of revenue by the Downtown Hilo merchants when customers who cannot find parking shop elsewhere. •9• VI. FINDINGS This evaluation, prompted by the concerns expressed by the Downtown Hilo merchants, took place from November 2003 to December 2009. The findings, which were gathered through daily site visits, research, and discussions with the public and a local shopping center merchant are presented as follows: 1. The Kamehameha Parking Lot and the Bayfront Parking Lot start filling up generally between 8:45 AM and 9:00 AM, (see Photos 1 & 2). 2. Many people park for extended periods in areas intended for short-term parking. Examples are the Kamehameha Parking Lot (see Photos 3, 3B, 4, 4B, 5, 5B, 6, 6B, 7 & 7B) and Keawe Street (see Photos 8, 8B & 8C). 3. The eight -hour time limit Bayfront Parking Lot is used by a large number of people, yet there are often parking stalls available that could be used by other long -term parkers, (see Photo 9). 4. There are no established areas for employees to park. 5. The downtown merchants do not collectively require employees to park in long- term parking areas. 6. Some existing private parking areas are not clearly marked, or not made obvious to patrons who may be unfamiliar with the area. 7. Lenient and unenforced parking regulations leads to traffic congestion and parking shortages primarily during "Farmers Market" days (officially Wednesdays and Saturdays). 8. The loading zones along Mamo Street, Kamehameha Avenue, Punahoa Street, and Nawahi Lane are used for other purposes, and for longer time periods than they were originally intended, particularly during "Farmers Market" days. 9. There is a parking shortage in the Kamehameha Parking Lot and the Bayfront Parking Lot on "Farmers Market" days, (see Photos 10, 11 & 12). 10. Additional traffic congestion occurs as people drive (cruise) in search of available parking stalls, (see Photo 13). 11. There is a shortage of covered sidewalks and other accommodations to encourage long -term parkers to utilize the designated eight -hour parking zones. 12. Private parking areas for Downtown Hilo are limited due to an onsite parking exemption provided in the Hawaii County Code (Section 25- 4- 59.2). 13. Parking enforcement in Downtown Hilo has been difficult due to the creation of time -limit parking zones, the removal of parking meters, and insufficient parking enforcement personnel. 14. Many Downtown Hilo merchants believe they are at a disadvantage competing with merchants in shopping centers due to the shortage of downtown parking. Employee parking in shopping centers is usually regulated by the shopping center, and merchants typically pay for customer parking through their rent and Common Area Maintenance charges. Further, employees in shopping centers are expected to park in designated employee parking lots or in stalls away from the prime parking areas in the main parking lot. The lots at Prince Kuhio Plaza are policed by security guards, and any employee parking violations become the responsibility of the respective merchants. 15. Public requests for eight -hour parking increase when enforcement of short-term parking occurs. •10• VII. CONCLUSIONS Based on the preceding findings, the following conclusions are drawn: 1. There is a general lack of parking and parking turnover in Downtown Hilo which can be attributed to: • The off - street parking and loading requirements exemption (see Section 4.5) which limits the amount of available customer parking and • A disregard of the time limit zones due to the removal of a majority (only 31 remain) of the downtown parking meters and insufficient enforcement practices and personnel. 2. The Hilo Farmers Market contributes to the parking shortage in certain areas of Downtown Hilo on "Farmers Market" days due to: • The large number of patrons who visit Downtown Hilo and shop at the market and • The large number of vendors who park, load, and unload for extended periods in short-term parking areas. 3. Merchants must participate in the solution by requiring employees to use long -term parking areas to open up short-term parking for short-term users. VIII. PARKING ADDITIONS PLANNED In addition to the parking additions that were already made as outlined in Section 4.2, the County of Hawaii is in the process of adding more parking to the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area. All of these future additions will be done primarily with revisions to the traffic signs and striping, but otherwise having minimal effect on existing conditions. The planned parking additions /revisions include: • Kinoole Street — Two stalls between Waianuenue Avenue and Kalakaua Street where a minimum amount of intersection sight distance and parking restriction are acceptable; • Kinoole Street — Two stalls fronting Hawaiian Telcom building; • Kinoole Street — One stall adjacent to Mamo Street; • Haili Street — One stall between Kilauea Avenue and Keawe Street; • Keawe Street — Three stalls between Kalakaua Street and Haili Street; • Waianuenue Avenue — One stall between Keawe Street and Kamehameha Avenue; • Kamehameha Avenue — Five stalls adjacent to Haili Street where a minimum amount of parking restriction is acceptable; and The items listed above equate to a net gain of 15 regular parking stalls parking stalls. For more information on the future parking additions in Downtown Hilo, see page D11. •11• IX. RECOMMENDATIONS The following are recommendations to help reduce the parking problems in Downtown Hilo. The goal is to address the situation starting with the least expensive and least intensive phase (Phase I). After the specified trial period, the effectiveness of the phase will be evaluated by the County of Hawaii and the DIA. If the parking problems have been satisfactorily mitigated, this phase will continue as the standalone solution. If the parking problems have not been resolved, the next phase will be implemented (either concurrently or independently) and later reviewed. This process will continue up to Phase III or until an acceptable solution is met. PHASE I (I year trial period) The primary objective for Phase I is to look at a cost - effective solution and a way to get the Downtown Hilo merchants more involved in the enforcement process. • Designate employee parking areas especially for those who work in the Kamehameha Avenue storefront area. • The DIA would assess the amount of stalls required (for merchants without established parking areas) and provide this number to the County of Hawaii. • The County of Hawaii would work with the DIA to come up with viable parking area options. • The County of Hawaii would provide signage and markings, as needed, to clearly distinguish the employee parking areas. • The downtown merchants, including vendors of the Farmers' Market, would play an active role in enforcement, by collectively taking the responsibility to ensure that merchants, vendors, and their workers use the employee parking and not the short-term customer parking. • The County of Hawaii would assist with enforcement, to ensure that only the proper Downtown Hilo employees are parking in the employee parking areas. • The County of Hawaii would make crosswalk improvements adjacent to the employee parking areas, if necessary. • The DIA would investigate the private parking areas that are available to the patrons, and come up with ways to clearly mark and advertise them. PHASE H (2 year trial period) In addition to Phase I, Phase II will be implemented to provide aid in enforcement and to promote a higher rate of parking turnover. • The County of Hawaii would implement electronic ADA compliant parking meters along Kamehameha Avenue, between Waianuenue Avenue and Ponahawai Street and in the Kamehameha Parking Lot. • The maximum time limits would be set no higher than two hours. • The parking meter rates would be reasonably set at a level that produces the desired parking turnover and promotes a self - funded parking meter program. • The County of Hawaii would look at alternatives to improving and increasing parking meter enforcement. •12 PHASE III (3 year trial period) At this stage, there could be two options: OPTION 1: If parking meters are effective, but in too small of an area. • The County of Hawaii would implement parking meters either in all of Downtown Hilo, or in specific areas deemed necessary by the County of Hawaii and the DIA. • The maximum time limits would be set according to the already established time limit zones that the meters are in. • The parking meter rates would be reasonably set at a level that produces the desired parking turnover and promotes a self - funded parking meter program. • The County of Hawaii would look at alternatives to improving and increasing parking meter enforcement. OPTION 2: If parking meters are effective, but insufficient parking remains. In this option, it is determined that there is a definite parking shortage in Downtown Hilo. Additionally, it is concluded that aside from creating more parking stalls, no other alternative would be adequate. • The County of Hawaii would look into purchasing property in logical locations within the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area to develop into new public parking areas; • The County of Hawaii would make the necessary improvements to ensure that these new parking areas meet all the necessary design and accessibility standards; • The downtown merchants could share in the cost of the facilities, to possibly reserve a portion of the stalls for their employees; • The County of Hawaii and the DIA would work together to establish employee parking areas; • The downtown merchants would collectively take on the responsibility of ensuring that their employees use the employee parking areas and not the short- term customer parking; • The parking meters that were restored in Phase 11 would remain and still be strictly enforced; • In addition to the parking meters that were restored in Phase II, the County of Hawaii would implement parking meters in other areas deemed necessary by the County of Hawaii and the DIA; and • The County of Hawaii would look at alternatives to improving and increasing enforcement. The goal of Option 2 is to convert parking within the Downtown Hilo Sub -Area into a balanced mix of public parking and employee parking, while taking advantage of the benefits of both metered parking and time limit parking. •13• PART VIII.
