  • INFORMATION MEMORANDUM to the ADMINISTRATOR From: Ron
    INFORMATION MEMORANDUM TO THE ADMINISTRATOR From: Ron Fisher, Chief, Office of Planning Innovation and Analysis (202) 366-0257 Prepared by: Dwayne Weeks, Senior Community Planner (202) 493-0316 Re: Conference Call with Governor of Hawaii, Linda Lingle, the Mayor of Honolulu, Jeremy Harris, several State legislators, and Mary Peters, FHWA Administrator PURPOSE OF THE CALL The Island of Oahu is faced with severe daily transportation congestion. This is because existing transportation capacity is limited by environmental conditions and existing high- density development, which prevents additional road construction without severe environmental impacts and residential and business displacements. The Governor of Hawaii, Linda Lingle, the Mayor of Honolulu, Jeremy Harris, and the State legislature are exploring the potential funding availability for projects that could assist them to resolve the transportation problems. Thus, they are seeking the input of senior Administration officials about what Federal resources are available to assist them. BACKGROUND The City of Honolulu Department of Transportation is undertaking preliminary engineering on a 30-mile bus rapid transit project called the Primary Corridor Transportation Project. It will consist of a bus rapid transitway on the interstate highway from Kapolei to Middle Street. The transitway is comprised of a 3 mile extension to the existing morning peak period through a movable barrier contra flow lane, a new 6.5 mile afternoon peak period movable barrier contra flow lane and new express lanes to form an uninterrupted transitway. The non-highway BRT component would be a 2.8 mile high- capacity transit spine from Middle Street to Downtown, a 3.7 mile University Branch from Downtown to the UH-Manoa, and a 5.1 mile Downtown to Kakaako/Waikiki Branch.

  • The Honorable Mufi Hannemann Mayor of Honolulu Honolulu Hale 530 S
    The Deputy Administrator 400 Seventh St., S.W. U.S. Department Washington, D.C. 20590 of Transportation Federal Transit Administration The Honorable Mufi Hannemann Mayor of Honolulu Honolulu Hale 530 S. King St. Honolulu, HI 96813 Re: Alternatives Analysis Initiation Guidance Dear Mayor Hanneman: As a follow-up to your recent meeting with Secretary Mineta, I am writing to reiterate several important points that were discussed with regard to your interest in undertaking a Federally- supported major capital investment transit (New Starts) project in the Kapolei/Downtown Corridor in Honolulu. As the City and County of Honolulu begin the process of Alternatives Analysis (AA), it is important to remember that this is a critical step in project development. This is time when local decision-makers can and must compare the benefits and costs of a full range of investment strategies to meet their locally-identified transportation needs. FTA technical assistance is available to support of your efforts, and I urge you to contact our Regional Office in San Francisco for assistance. We have found that early FTA involvement in the project's development helps avoid problems that could occur later, when resolution is much more difficult and expensive. Additionally, FTA's early assistance can help ensure that you have collected and prepared the information necessary to advance a locally preferred alternative into Preliminary Engineering under the New Starts program. This, in turn, helps shorten the project approval process. FTA's major investment planning and project development webpage also provides useful information about Alternatives Analysis. It can be accessed at http://www.fta.dot.gov/grant_programs/transportation_planning/9924 ENG HTML.htm.

  • Manoa Heritage Center – Visitor Education Hale Honolulu, HI, USA
    Project Name: Manoa Heritage Center – Visitor Education Hale Location: Honolulu, HI, USA Project Narrative: The Visitor Education Hale is the final piece of the Manoa Heritage Center master plan. It will serve as a flexible classroom for the thousands of visitors who come to MHC to experience for the ancient Hawaiian temple, Kuka'o'o heiau and well as the endemic and indigenous collection of Hawaiian plans. It also provides for the MHC administration as well as public restrooms. Please refer to the slides for the complete story about the research, design and execution of the project including a strong emphasis on sustainable design & practices. Sustainability Narrative: Manoa Heritage Center is the caretaker to one of Hawaii's most priced Hawaiian artifacts, Kuka'o'o heiau (temple). Kuka'o'o is an agricultural heiau that is believed to have been constructed during 10th century. Strategically placed in the Waikiki ahupua'a (ancient Hawaiian land division from the mountains to the sea), Kuka'o'o heiau served as a temple for both worship and to study the cosmos related to the Hawaiian lunar calendar which determined the wet & dry seasons as well as the monthly planting & harvesting schedule. Today, Kuka'o'o heiau symbolizes the 600-800 years of sustainable living for ancient Hawaiians prior to western contact and is why sustainability was a major priority for this project. One of our major project goals was to create a Visitor Education Hale with a net zero carbon footprint and provide an educational curriculum for the school children & adult visitors who come to visit MHC.
