Connectivity location criteria recommendation
Aloha PCDP action committee members,
It is the Upper/mauka Puna talk story groups’ goal to have the AC adopt submitted connectivity
criteria today. It will then be made available to the public through, homeowners associations,
emergency response groups, church groups, PTSA's, senior centers, citizens groups, etc.
Health, emergency response and safety are a critical priority in establishing connectivity.
What reason would adoption of the submitted connectivity location criteria be beneficial to
the PCDP implementation?
1. All participates engaging in the process have the same criteria to work from.
2. Those joining the process later build upon the efforts of those before them achieving results
while honoring the input of those before them.
3. Participants, supported by this committee and County planning department will be able to
move forward in identifying available connectivity locations.
4. Using connectivity criteria a grading system can be established to determine which locations
are most viable.
Additionally this criterion will assist in engaging Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM) Education students into the PCDP implementation process.
Connectivity location criteria (clc)
Will this connectivity location (cl) meet the intended goals as reflected in the PCDP?
Will this cl provide balanced access to residents relating to ER needs? (fire, ambulance,
police? Are they consistent with emergency response grids within communities? Have
proposed ER girds that serve all stakeholders been submitted to support this?
Does this cl have any culturally significant sites that might exclude it from consideration?
Does this site have old growth forests, endangered species, or other natural features that
might exclude it from consideration?
Will this cl increase the likelihood of youths ability to walk and/or cycle to school?
Will this cl decrease the need for excessive driving?
Is there potential for future Hele on feeder routes using this location?
Is this a flood zone? Are funds available through FEMA, etc. to improve the access at a
particular cl?
Does this CL align with other cls? (we are looking for staggered cl’s)
People= process
Result= product
