This is diagrammed on map 3 in the attached maps. That route should be ~f this thought of as a prelude to what could be accomplished with a permanent transportation system for the ~ throughout Paradise Park and connecting with the other communities including Hilo. Pedestrian Wallctivavs and Bike Paths/Trails !aster pedestrian walkways and bicycle paths are key to keeping automobiles in the garage/carport and 'or off the road when an easy walk or bike ride can get a prr,on~to essential services. The perimeter .d of Paradise Park and Railroad Avenue are the only mapped out areas that we have dedicated to ' pedestrian walkways and bicycle paths. Key to land use here is to keep people in Paradise Park lI from having to drive elsewhere to buy things that could very well be provided within its old be boundaries. e fo r Public Schools (Total of about l00 acres) The Land Use Plan shows very specific locations for several schools. These areas would include ~rcial a high school, a middle school and two elementary schools. :ing Parks and Recreation Areas (Total of about 60 acres) to for There are two existing undeveloped county shoreline parks. In addition, there is one four acre side arcel set aside for the coon at Kaloli Drive and 26th,Avenue. A P tY thirty-one acre site adjacent to the Community Center is planned to be an educational ethno-botarucal and cultural uts anthropological site. A 20 acre community park and recreational facility on Kaloli Drive and !5th Avenue could include a ballfield, swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball courtu, picnic areas, tot lots and related facilities. a: 21 HAWAII LONG RANGE LAND TRANSPORTATION PLAN r May 1998 FINAL REPORT Prepared for: STATE OF HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION In cooperation with: COUNTY OF HAWAII DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS COUNTY OF HAWAII PLANNING DEPARTMENT The preparation of this report has been financed, in part, through a grant from the U.S. De artment o P f Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, under Subsection of Section 104 of Title 23, U.S. Code. The contents of this report do not necessarily reflect the official views or policy of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Prepared by: Frederic R. Harris, Inc. In association with: William L. Moore Planning Julian Ng, Inc. 6.2 NEW TRANSIT ROUTINGS Recommendations for bus service enhancements were essentially presented earlier, in Chapter 5. The same routing improvements are carried forward for incorporation into the Long Range Land Transportation Plan. Recommended bus routings are illustrated in Figure 6-7. In the upcoming countywide transit development planning effort for the Big Island, these proposed routes need to be further evaluated and detailed for implementation with operations plans, schedules and so forth. 6.3 NON-MOTORIZED ROADWAYS AND BIKEWAYS Several of the more promising "non-motorized roadway" corridors are shown conceptually in Figures 6-8 for Hilo, 6-9 for Kailua-Kona, 6-10 for Waimea and 6-11 for Puna. Just as project development studies need to be conducted prior to implementation of a "motorized roadway", so too will project development be required in order to advance the recommended non-motorized corridors. These studies will need to precisely locate the facility; determine right-of--way needs; design cross-section, drainage and pavement; determine lighting and security requirements if any; detail project cost; ascertain maintenance responsibilities; etc. In addition to these non-motorized roadway proposals, there is the State's April 1994 Bike Plan Hawaii from which proposals are adopted herein. Bike route, bike lane and bike path recommendations are illustrated in Figure 6-12 for islandwide, Figure 6-13 for Hilo and Figure 6-14 for Kailua-Kona circulation areas. And in addition to these proposals, during project development and preliminary engineering studies for street and highway improvements, incorporation of bicycle (and pedestrian) accommodations as part of the "motorized roadway" project should, whenever possible, be the normal order of business. 1 1 Hawaii Long Range Land Transportation Plan Page 106 FINAL REPORT (May 1998) N P""~ 0 I 2ml XW Dql ~Y - 0 I 2km 5 ti HI~O LEGEND o Non-Motorized Route 00 °o oQ op * o Keoau ppp ,rr? nr,r ~ i p0 Kurfistown ~ fb~ ppp . - ~7~ ~ ~>1 Opp -:s' ~i g Y ~s _ - ~ tir aid,.: v. - _ _ ~ n~.,.wvr ~+v Mi.

ANDERSON CHIEF CLERK ~ ; C S Y PAUL T. KAWAGUCHI EnC bcc: Ron Reilly - Volcano, HI March 4, 1999 Mr. Robert-Saunders, Pxcsident W. H. Shipman Ltd. Kea'au, Hawaii Dear Mr. Saunders, Enclosed is information on the next Rails to Trails conference on multi-txse, non- motorized trails for recreation and transportation. Would you kindly share this with your Board of Directors. I would urge the Board of Bireetors to.seriausly consider sending one or more members and/or staff to this Rails to Trails conference. The mainland experience in development of successful multi-use trails far exceeds what has been achieved in Hawaii. Hard economic data on the benefits, such as increased property values for ad1acent property owners, are now a matter of record. The benefits that trails bring to local communities and specific businesses such as bed-and-breakfasts and the many other providers of goods and services that trail users require is also no longer guess work. More importantly public heath can be greatly improved by popular, well-used, well-managed, multi-use trails. Yesterday's Tribune-Herald reports that over 26% of Hawaii people are now at risk from obesity and high blood pressure. With accurate current information and the experience of actually visiting successful trails on the mainland I am sure that W: H. Shipman Ltd. could assume an important lead~ersl?ip role in the appropriate development of alignments such as the Old Puna Road Trail and Railroad Avenue. It is this hope that prompts me to send you the enclosed information. Yours Sincerely, Ron Reilly PO Box 458 Volcano, Hawaii 96785 plr 967-8fif}3, rreilly@irrterpae.net v .

Hawaii County Council 25 Aupuni St. Hilo, HI 96720 Jan 31, 2000 Re: Resolution # 206-2K Dear Sirs: This letter is to inform you that the Board of Directors of the Hawaiian Paradise Park Community Association (formerly Paradise Hui Hanalike), in a poll taken by telephone, wishes to express our support for Resolution # 206-2K providing for the acquisition by the County of Hawaii of the Hilo to Hawaiian Paradise Park section of the former Hilo to Kapoho Railroad right-of--way for the purpose of creating a non-motorized vehicle pathway for public use. Such usage is consistent with the Hawaiian Paradise Park master plan which currently serves as the guideline for the ongoing development of our community. Sincerely, esse Crawford President Pro-Tem Hawaiian Paradise Park Owner's Association (Formerly Paradise Hui Hanalike) Feb-15-00 04:55P soest 808 956 5512 P.O1 PRESIDENT , r?,~1~/11 ~ Khal Spencer ' - ~7 ~ ~ ; / VICE PRESIDENT ti~•"., ] l Howard Witg ANON-PROFIT CORPORATION SECRETARY 1' Sheri Holder 3442 Waialae Ave, #1, Honolulu, Hawaii 96816 • Voice/fax: (808) 735-5756 • Email: bicycle~piri.com TREASURER Kathy Feeney PAST PRESIDENT John B. Kelley 15 February, 2000 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Robin Brandt James Y. Arakaki, Chair Frank Denton Hawaii County Council Jerry Ford 25 Aupuni Street Dave Hall Hilo, Hawaii 96720 Jim Swedberg Neal Tomita John Wendell Dear Chairman Arakaki: Keith Yamada EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The Hawaii Bicycling League wishes to wholeheartedly endorse Resolution Eve Decoursey #206-2K, introduced by Chair Dominic Yagong, which supports, "..the BIKE ED MANAGER Acquisition by Hawaii County of the Hilo to Hawaiian Paradise Park Chris Clark Section of the Former Hilo to Kapoho Railroad". Making former railroads accessible to the community in the manner of "rails to trails" projects encourages cycling and walking, and by so doing, improves the health and welfare of the community both physically and spiritually. As we understand it, the resolution calls for "...the initiation of collaborative steps to be taken between the Hawaii County Council, the Honorable Mayor Stephen Yamashiro. County Departments, landowners, and interested members of the community toward this right-of-way acquisition, which will not have negative impacts on the current use of roadway." Further, the intention, as we understand it, is to open this 6 mile section to non-motorized public use -bicycling, walking, jogging, equestrian, wheelchair, and in-line skating. Public motor vehicles would continue to be excluded - as they are at present. Current use by private farm vehicles on this road to access agricultural lots will continue. We wrderstand that the low-volume farm related traffic will not conflict with non-rt~otorized public use. Once again HBL thanks you for undertaking this eavor. Sincerely, Khalil J. Spencer President, The Hawaii Bicycling League, a non-profit corporation
