Public Invited to Comment on Complete Streets Projects

News Release from AARP Hawaii April 22, 2013

by Bruce Bottorff

Complete Streets

When the Honolulu City Council adopted a Complete Streets measure last year, pedestrian and bicycle safety advocates cheered the passage of Ordinance 12-15 as a victory for residents of all ages and physical abilities. The new law was seen as a significant milestone in AARP’s efforts to ensure that city transportation planning and design take into account Hawaii’s aging population.

As city officials prepare to implement the law, the public is invited to attend a series of workshops to learn how Complete Streets practices will be applied to three Oahu communities identified as needing help: Aiea, Kailua and Moiliili. Participants in these workshops will see details of the demonstration projects planned in these communities and have a chance to share their input.

Examples of Complete Streets features include sidewalks, crosswalks, accessible curb ramps, curb extensions, raised medians, refuge islands, roundabouts or mini-circles, traffic signals and accessible pedestrian signals, shared-use paths, bicycle lanes, paved shoulders, street trees, and planting strips.

The sessions are open to the pubic but registration is requested:
