PCDP Objective and Action Alignment Table County Action Short Term (2008-2012) 1) Plan and design the PMAR alignment through an environmental impact statement process that meets Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standards and therefore qualifies the project for FHWA funding; 2) Require building setbacks within HPP lots along the designated PMAR alignment, as necessary, to reserve the potential for a future PMAR extension through the remainder of HPP; 3) Establish emergency routes, using mostly existing road beds; 4) Include pedestrian and bicycling requirements in all projects; and 5) Create connectivity alignments between the following subdivisions: Hawaiian Acres and Fern Acres, Fern Acres and Kopua Farm Lots, Eden Rock and Fern Forest, Orchidland and Hawaiian Acres, Nanawale and Hawaiian Shores, Hawaiian Beaches and HPP, Kea`au Agricultural Lots and a site adjacent to Kea`au Elementary School, `Ohi`a Estates and Royal Hawaiian Estates. These inter - subdivision roads should be staggered, low -impact, and multi -modal. The general locations are indicated as ovals in Figure 4-1. Action Medium Term (2013-2017) 1) Construct a two-lane PMAR roadway that connects Kaloli Drive between approximately 16th Avenue and 10th Avenue in HPP to either Highway 11 or Highway 130 in the vicinity of Kea`au; 2) Construct a two-lane, unpaved, gated emergency access roadway between Kahakai Boulevard to HPP which can later be converted into a future extension of PMAR; 3) Construct a two-lane roadway between Nanawale and Kahakai Boulevard that can be used as both an emergency access route and a future extension of PMAR; and 4) Study the need, desirability and feasibility of adding an alternative route between Pahoa and Highway 11 and between Highway 11 and Stainback Highway in the stretch between Glenwood and Kurtistown, as generally depicted on Figure 4-1. Action Long Term (2018-2030) 1) Construct Phase II segments of PMAR, as generally depicted in Figure 4-1; 2) Acquire additional right-of-way via land pooling, exchanges, and other means to extend PMAR through Hawaiian Paradise Park; and 3) If increased traffic demand indicates, construct the PMAR extension through the remainder of HPP, as depicted generally in Figure 4.1, and convert the emergency access route from Kahakai Boulevard to HPP as a PMAR extension by removing the gate and paving the surface. A A A 27 (May 2015 -April 2016 Annual Report) o • PMAR: Ord. The Connectivity and Emergency Response 16-73 Subcommittee (CERSC) continues to meet regularly in Lapse: June order to create a refined report for connectivity points 30, 2019 in all communities included in the PCDP. • PCDP Road o The CERS has concentrated efforts to Upper Puna Projects: Ord. connectivity locations. 16-73 o Puna Council members created an ad hoc committee Lapse: June to discuss connectivity in Puna. 30, 2019 o Site visits with ERS members, Council members and • Hawaiian Department staff to discuss feasibility of connectivity locations. o Council working on $11 million appropriation for connectivity improvements. (May 2014 -April 2016 Annual Report) (May 2013 -April 2014 Annual Report) oThe Connectivity and Emergency Response Subcommittee (CERSC) continues to meet regularly in order to create a refined report for connectivity points in all communities included in the PCDP. Changes are based on public input and additional information gathered as to the feasibility of recommended connectivity locations. o CIP budget allocation (ord. 14-82) of $1 million for completion of S.Lauko road connectivity between Hwy 11 and Puhala St. in Fern Acres. Survey commenced. o Mapping exercises at the August 2014 Puna Regional Emergency Preparedness (PREP) Fair was to reaffirm 2) County of Hawaii has created an emergency road as part of the response to June 27 Lava Flow Emergency access road improvement s: Ord. 16-73 Lapse: June 30, 2019 • Need a Puna makai alternate route (PMAR), widening of 130, more jobs and services within our communities. Revamp bus system. Puna is underserved by State. • HPP connectivity. Issues with puna makai thru HPP alignment proposals. Go mauka of HWY 130 so no takings of land for alternative routes. Use micro economic zones, • Need for transportation to go to medical appointments, maintaining recreational facilities. Infrastructure is needed and expensive. Need better connectivity & emergency response. • Lack of jobs and focus on economic development. Plenty of models for rural communities to utilize that have been effective catalysts for job creation. Hawaiian Shores/Beaches needs second route out of subdivision.
