PERFORMANCE & RECOGNITION AWARDS
County of Kauaʻi Sea Level Rise Constraint District
2024 American Planning Association, National Award for
Resilience and Sustainability.
2023 American Planning Association, Hawaii Chapter, Community-
Based Planning Award.
The County of Kauai adopted a new Sea Level Rise (SLR)
Constraint District within its Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance to
do just that, making it the first county in Hawaii and among the first
in the nation to incorporate scientific modeling for climate change
induced hazards into land use regulations. The Sea Level Rise
Constraint District represents a proactive approach to community
resilience that can be used in conjunction with shoreline setback
rules and other land use regulations to minimize the threat to
public health and safety, promote resilient planning and design,
and reduce the expenditure of public monies for costly flood
control projects necessitated by accelerating SLR.
Department of Hawaiian Home Lands General Plan Update
2020
2024 American Planning Association, Sustainable Communities
Division Awards for Excellence in Sustainability.
2023 American Planning Association, Hawaii Chapter, Outstanding
Planning Award.
This comprehensive, long-range plan update involved extensive
outreach to Hawaiian Home Lands trust beneficiaries and
incorporated many new subjects that had heretofore not been
addressed by the DHHL General Plan. This General Plan Update,
for the first time, incorporated the most current information on
climate change in a technical background white paper that became
the basis for climate change-related policies that were integrated
throughout the Plan and were mutually reinforcing with policies on
land use, infrastructure and other related areas.

North Shore Coastal Resilience Working Group
2023 American Planning Association, Hawaii Chapter, Community
Based Planning Award.
In 2021, Surfrider Foundation and Hawaii Sea Grant partnered
with SSFM International to convene the North Shore Community
Resilience Working Group (NSCRWG). The NSCRWG was
developed to discuss and identify possible solutions and address
increased impacts from coastal erosion and flooding within the
North Shore planning district, which includes the shoreline from
Kaena Point to Velzyland. The NSCRWG represents the first
community-driven coastal resilience focused working group in
Hawaii. It brought together diverse public and private stakeholders
to facilitate meaningful, community driven discussions about
climate resilience and the future of coastal management on the
North Shore through the blending of technical, regulatory and
community perspectives. This effort laid important groundwork for
the community to advocate for plans, policies, and solutions to
increase coastal resilience and educate others in the community.
Keaukaha Quick Build
County of Hawaii Planning Department
September 2022, recognized by the American Planning
Association, Hawaii Chapter. Community-Based Planning Award.
The project represented a State/County collaboration in a
predominantly native Hawaiian community. The majority of
Keaukaha is owned by the State Department of Hawaiian Home
Lands, including the schools, roadways, and surrounding
residences, which are predominantly Hawaiian Homesteads.
This project sought to promote complete streets principles by
transforming the way public rights of way are used for the benefit,
health, and enjoyment of all. To achieve this, the continuous
walking and biking pathway repurposed space within the existing
right of way to provide additional space for pedestrians and
bicyclists.

PERFORMANCE & RECOGNITION AWARDS
Vision Zero Action Plan
County of Hawaii
October 2021, recognized by the American Planning Association,
Hawaii Chapter. Transportation Planning Award.
The County of Hawaii’s Vision Zero Action Plan identifies a path
for the County to achieve its goal of eliminating traffic related
fatalities and serious injuries in accordance with Vision Zero, a
fundamentally new approach to traffic safety that is being adopted
in states and municipalities worldwide.
This Vision Zero Plan is the first to be completed and adopted in
the State of Hawaii. The plan was produced through the efforts of
a multi-disciplinary Vision Zero Task Force comprised of
representatives from the County and State, as well as emergency
response, the health industry, and advocacy.
The Task Force used the data analysis to identify priority Vision
Zero actions in four categories: Education and Encouragement,
Enforcement, Engineering, and Evaluation. The actions in the Plan
are organized into short-term, mid-term, and long-term priorities.
S. Kalaheo Avenue and Kailua Road Intersection
Improvements, Kailua, Hawaii
October 2021, recognized by the American Planning Association,
Hawaii Chapter. Implementation Award.
The Kalaheo Avenue and Kailua Road Intersection Improvements
project was initiated by the City and County of Honolulu's
Department of Transportation Services (City), under contract with
SSFM International, with the goal to address operational and
safety concerns at the intersection.
A "Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper" interim pilot project was
implemented to reconfigure the stop-sign controlled intersection
into a non-standard single-lane "triangle-about" roundabout. The
success of the interim pilot project improved the community's
understanding of how roundabouts work. It also enabled the City to
pursue full reconstruction that will result in a more standard
modern roundabout that includes geometric, drainage, and lighting
enhancements to improve automobile operations while continuing
to prioritize multimodal safety/accessibility.

PERFORMANCE & RECOGNITION AWARDS
Climate Adaptation Design Principles for Urban Honolulu
Honolulu, Hawaii
October 2021, recognized by the American Planning Association,
Hawaii Chapter. Best Practice Award.
The Climate Adaptation Design Principles project exemplifies the
proactive, forward-thinking planning approach needed for
municipalities to address the significant challenges posed by
climate change. With development of TOD areas along the rail
corridor a City priority, DPP TOD Division and OCCSR recognized
an urgent need and opportunity to ensure that the impacts of
climate change are considered in new development. Guidance
was also needed to inform updates to regulations, codes, and
policies around built environment resilience, which can take years
to implement.
The Background Research and Design Principles documents help
outline a path forward for the City while also educating the public
and development community about climate adaptation science and
best practices. The Design Principles can also be referred to in
reviewing discretionary permits for planned developments, thereby
having an immediate potential effect as the City moves ahead with
regulatory updates. Both documents are available for download at
www.honolulu.gov/tod.
County of Hawaii, Transit and Multimodal Transportation Plan
September 2019, recognized by the American Planning
Association, Hawaii Chapter. Transportation Planning Award.
The County of Hawaii Transit and Multi-Modal Master Plan (Master
Plan) presents a set of programs to provide a wider range of
transportation options, reduce dependence on the automobile, and
reduce the negative effects of transportation on the environment
and climate change.
In the first year of implementation, the Master Plan has supported
applications for federal grants to purchase buses, state and local
efforts for alternative energy for transportation and a wide variety
of other efforts. New buses arrive in early 2020 andthey will be
deployed first on the cross-island route and the Puna hub and
spoke, which were top priorities in the Master Plan.

Downtown Hilo Multimodal Master Plan
Hilo, Hawaii
October 2018, recognized by the American Planning Association,
Hawaii Chapter as its 2018 Transportation Planning Project.
The Downtown Hilo Multimodal Master Plan (DHMMP) was a
multi-year planning effort undertaken by the County of Hawaii
Planning Department, assisted by lead consultant SSFM
International and a team of technical consultants. Hundreds of Hilo
residents, organizations, and agencies were participated in the
highly inclusive planning process with the collective goal of making
Downtown Hilo a more vibrant, walkable and bike friendly
community for people of all ages and abilities.
The DHMMP calls for complete streets improvements that elevate
Downtown Hilo as a destination and gathering place through
improvements that support walkability and increased transportation
choices for all modes. To achieve the desired Downtown
environment, the DHMMP intentionally shifts the modal priority
away from the current vehicle-dominated paradigm, and adopts a
new “transportation hierarchy” that prioritizes non-motorized
modes (walking and biking), as well as transit, over single
occupancy cars.
