HILO’S SEAS

THE FISH WERE NOT ABLE TO REACH THE SEAS

SEARCH OF FOOD

FOUR PRINCIPLES
• Downtown is a Destination• The Street Network Must Connect, not
Divide• Streets are for Everybody• Distinct Parking Strategies for each User
![Page 74: SDAT Presentation for Downtown Hilo](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051611/54ba4c364a795906528b46f9/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
1. Hilo’s Downtown is a Destination• It is not a place to Go To not
Pass Through• It is a place to experience• A place that revives all our
senses• A place where “Life Slows and
Community Grows”• That is Downtown Hilo
![Page 75: SDAT Presentation for Downtown Hilo](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051611/54ba4c364a795906528b46f9/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
• Therefore connections to the Downtown must flow into the area not rush by
• Slow traffic is safe, good for business, and uses less energy
• Slow traffic also allows for many modes of travel – on foot, in strollers, wheelchairs, bicycles

• Create new connections into Downtown• Embrace the waterfront where it does not• Make connections where they do not exist• Strengthen pedestrian connections where
they are weak

Actions to Consider• Simplify and consolidate waterfront roads• Develop a plan for parking that allows for shared parking lots,
paid parking, timed parking• Establish a close-in shuttle system (sampans?) that connects
commuter parking, and park and ride lots to downtown businesses
• Establish a larger shuttle system that connects to remote activities such as the harbor, airport, and university to Downtown
• Create a wide, safe, and well-designed bike route to Downtown
• Consider pedestrian friendly road designs such as woonerfsor ‘shared space’ roadways
• Consider returning Keawe and Kino‘ole back to a two-way system
• Relocate the Transit Center to a nearby upland location
