PROJECT NAME: Upper Waianuenue Avenue Road Safety and Drainage Control 4. SUBMITTER: Aaron Chung S. COUNCIL BENEFIT DISTRICT(S): County -wide 6. TMK/JUDICIAL: Portions of Plat Map 2-28 7. LOCATION (COUNCIL DISTRICT): 2 8. TOTAL COUNTY FUNDS NEEDED THIS FY: $43,000,000 9. CAPITAL PROJECT ELIGIBIILTY (List Criteria): Infrastructure improvements; land acquisition; and planning, feasibility, engineering, and design studies. 10. PROJECT/PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Currently, there are no walkways or sidewalks on Waianuenue Avenue above Gilbert Carvalho Park. This forces pedestrians, bicyclists, wheelchair users, and other non -vehicular traffic to compete with vehicular traffic using the roadway. This lack of safe access creates a hazard for the non -vehicular as well as the vehicular traffic. The hazard is particularly pronounced in the area of Waianuenue above Waiau Street. The narrow and winding roadway has no shoulders, instead is flanked on either side by open ditches which serve as a conduit for water running off of the roadway as well as from areas above. Improving the drainage system, covering the ditches, and using the reclaimed area for a walkway/sidewalk will provide for improved road conditions, safe non -vehicular access, and will alleviate drainage overflow and flooding. Clearing the invasive species and other overgrown vegetation that is encroaching in the County right-of-way will also improve public health and safety. 11. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION & OUTCOME(S) (List all that apply): To address improved quality of life, improved public health and safety, improved road and walkway/sidewalk for traffic and pedestrian safety, and alleviates property damage due to flooding. 12. LONG RANGE PLANS/COMMUNITY VALUES: Will provide for safe non -vehicular access and traffic, enhancing and improving the quality of life for residents, visitors and others who frequent this heavily used roadway. Improving drainage and covering the ditches will also prevent serious accidents (vehicular and non -vehicular) and will channel the excess water in a pre -determined route rather than random flooding that fluctuates depending on where overgrown vegetation, fallen trees and other obstacles block the downward flow of water. 13. COUNTY MATCHING FUNDS REQ'D? (Y/N) Yes DESCRIBE: federal Funding (80%) will be sought for all phases of project 14. LEGAL MADATE? (Y/N) Yes DESCRIBE: ADA accessibility 15. IMPACT ON OPERATIONAL BUDGET: Regular road maintenance is already ongoing. Removing invasive species and other overgrown vegetation will eliminate claims against the Countyfor damages caused by falling trees and other vegetation. 16. SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS (List all that apply): Promotes permanent traffic and pedestrian safety, drainage improvements, strengthens and sustains community, and promotes health and safety. 17.
