Assessment SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED ACTION, ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES The Hilo Bayfront Trails Project would provide a variety of multimodal paths, pedestrian sidewalks, dedicated bicycle lanes, and shared roads for bicycles spanning the approximately two-mile distance between Hilo Harbor and the Wailuku River in Downtown Hilo. The project also includes loops for downtown, Wailoa River State Park and Bayfront Beach Park. The Hilo Bayfront Trails would provide a cohesive system of non-motorized transportation opportunities between Hilo Harbor and Downtown Hilo for both tourists and residents. It would complement and enhance the attributes of the Hilo Bayfront: dramatic views of Hilo Bay and Mauna Kea, green spaces, historical interest, cultural and community events, and a variety of recreational activities. Aside from the trails themselves, the project would build several new parking areas and interpretive signs denoting areas of interest. The project directly involves 40 separate parcels of land and rights-of-way within 17 named County and State roadways. Landowners, businesses, citizen organizations and the general public have participated in developing the project in a series of meetings. Best management practices will be implemented to prevent erosion and sedimentation. The area is subject to both riverine and coastal flooding, including tsunami, but is already heavily used for recreation; structures are minimal, and no inappropriate development of floodplains or high hazard areas would occur. Valuable biological resources will not be adversely affected. The project has been designed with community input to enhance cultural resources and practices, which will be benefit from better and safer pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Signage explaining the significance of Hawaiian land divisions, historic events and current practices will increase resident and visitor understanding and appreciation of the host culture. The County will require that archaeological monitoring take place during any construction involving surface alteration. If archaeological resources, cultural items or human remains are encountered during development of the project site, work in the immediate area of the discovery will be halted and the State Historic Preservation Division will be contacted. iii Hilo Bayfront Trails Environmental Assessment

  • Authentic Hawaii Will Enable Us to Explore Hawaii’S Big Island with a Stay at the Private Home of the Dewars, Founders of China Advocates
    A U T HJanuaryE N T9 -I 14,C 2018H A W A I I Dear Washington & Lee Alumni, Hawaii is much more than beaches. It’s gardens and waterfalls and rainforests and volcanoes; it’s island history and native traditions, architecture and astronomy, rare flora and fauna, small towns and museums, home cooking and walks along the bay. Here is a travel adventure designed to help us feel more like new residents who have been given a rare opportunity to know Hawaii beyond its fabled shorelines and surf. Authentic Hawaii will enable us to explore Hawaii’s Big Island with a stay at the private home of the Dewars, founders of China Advocates. This grand home, known as the Thomas Guard House, is located in the community of Reed’s Island, where the Hawaiian royals once resided. Torch Ginger, Hawaiian Tropical Botanical Gardens Visiting Hilo’s historic downtown is a proverbial step back in time. Here we’ll explore muse ums, shops, galleries, and restaurants, and mingle with Hilo’s friendly and diverse residents. We’ll take daily excursions to experience the area’s many natural wonders, including Kīlauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes, and Mauna Loa, Earth’s most massive volcano. We’ll also visit research centers and organizations working to advance scientific understanding and preserve the rich heritage of th e area. Leading our trip will be W&L professor of geology Sea Turtle and associate provost Elizabeth Knapp, whose special interest in Hawaiian volcanology will serve our scientific curiosity well. This insider’s exploration of the Big Island is perfectly timed to help you escape the winter doldrums.
