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 PART 1: PROJECT LOCATION, PURPOSE AND NEED AND DESCRIPTION

  • 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.

Over five concerts, 67 kūpuna were recognized, & their names are the ones we recall hearing stories about, for their contributions have deeply enriched the sentience of Hawaiians & the people of Hawaiʻi. “Na Makua” was created & led by Dr. Ishmael Stagner, who was a professor at Brigham Young University-Hawaiʻi at the time.

    HAWAII National Park HAWAIIAN ISLANDS UNITED STATES RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION N AT IONAL PAR.K. SERIES n A 5 o The world-famed volcano of Kilauea, eight miles in circumference An Appreciation of the Hawaii National Park By E. M. NEWMAN, Traveler and Lecturer Written Especially for the United States Railroad Administration §HE FIRES of a visible inferno burning in the midst of an earthly paradise is a striking con­ trast, afforded only in the Hawaii National Park. It is a combination of all that is terrify­ ing and all that is beautiful, a blending of the awful with the magnificent. Lava-flows of centuries are piled high about a living volcano, which is set like a ruby in an emer­ ald bower of tropical grandeur. Picture a perfect May day, when glorious sunshine and smiling nature combine to make the heart glad; then multiply that day by three hundred and sixty-five and the result is the climate of Hawaii. Add to this the sweet odors, the luscious fruits, the luxuriant verdure, the flowers and colorful beauty of the tropics, and the Hawaii National Park becomes a dreamland that lingers in one's memory as long as memory survives. Pa ae three To the American People: Uncle Sam asks you to be his guest. He has prepared for you the choice places of this continent—places of grandeur, beauty and of wonder. He has built roads through the deep-cut canyons and beside happy streams, which will carry you into these places in comfort, and has provided lodgings and food in the most distant and inaccessible places that you might enjoy yourself and realize as little as possible the rigors of the pioneer traveler's life.

  • Hilo Bayfront Trails Phase I: Planning Project Area User Survey
    Hilo Bayfront Trails Phase I: Planning Project Area User Survey Project Description: The County of Hawai`i has initiated a planning process for a comprehensive system of connected trails and parks along Hilo Bay. The purpose of the trails is to provide multi-use access as well as recreational and interpretive opportunities in the project area for Hilo residents and visitors. Project Area: As the name communicates, the project area comprises the bayfront of Hilo (see plan below). Stretching from the Wailuku River to Hilo Harbor, the project area embraces downtown Hilo and many public spaces, including the Wailuku riverfront, Mooheau Park, Bayfront Beach Park, Waiolama Canal, Wailoa State Park, Happiness Garden and Isles, Liliuokalani Park, Coconut Island, Reed’s Bay Beach Park, Kuhio Kalanianaole Park, and Baker’s Beach. Many roadways within the project area possess marked bicycle lanes. Use of Survey Results: The information that you provide by completing and returning this user survey will guide the project planning team, led by Helber Hastert & Fee, Planners (HHF) to produce a plan for trails and trail amenities (such as paths, rain shelters, directional and interpretive signage) that will best serve Hilo residents and visitors and that will enhance current popular uses, incorporate strongly desired future uses, and highlight cultural and historical uses of the project area. Your individual responses will be confidential. At public meetings and in the final Hilo Bayfront Trails planning report, user survey information will be communicated anonymously. HILO BAYFRONT TRAILS, PHASE I: PLANNING PROJECT AREA USER SURVEY: Please print this page, complete, and fax to HHF at (808) 545-2050 by 10/5/07.
