City to restrict parking in Lanikai during Presidents Day weekend

Having trouble viewing this email? Click here to view as a webpage.

02/11/15 City to restrict parking in Lanikai during Presidents Day weekend City to restrict parking in Lanikai during Presidents Day weekend LANIKAI - The City and County of Honolulu Department of Transportation Services notified all Oahu motorists and residents of Lanikai that this Presidents Day weekend, no parking of motor vehicles will be permitted on the unimproved sidewalk on the right side of the road along the Lanikai loop, in order to ensure access to Lanikai for emergency vehicles, residents, and visitors.   The Lanikai loop includes Alapapa Drive and Mokulua Drive, where a bike lane runs along the right side of both streets.  Parking is always prohibited in the bike lane, with a potential fine of $200.  This holiday weekend, new barriers will be placed adjacent to the bike lane on the Lanikai loop notifying motorists that no parking is permitted on the right side of the street over the Presidents Day weekend.  (Map attached) “The city is taking this action because traffic congestion in Lanikai has become so severe on holidays and weekends that it is now a safety issue,” said Director of Transportation Services Mike Formby.  “During severe traffic congestion caused in part by illegally parked cars and pedestrians forced into the roadway, emergency first responders have experienced difficulty getting into and out of Lanikai.  This is a test over the holiday weekend that the city will consider making permanent if effective.”  Motorists who park on the right side of the Lanikai loop over the Presidents Day weekend, impede emergency response, or park on the bike path will be subject to citation and tow by the Honolulu Police Department. With but one way in and out, traffic entering, traversing and exiting Lanikai has increasingly negatively impacted residents.  According to Councilmember Ikaika Anderson, who represents the Lanikai community on the City Council, “As one of the most popular destinations on Oahu, Lanikai draws tremendous crowds on the weekends.  However, we have a responsibility to ensure that residents can get in and out of the community safely and quickly.  I’m pleased that Director Formby is honoring my request to try a parking prohibition for the upcoming Presidents Day weekend.” Through a community context-sensitive process, DTS met with the Lanikai community and the Kailua Neighborhood Board and was asked by the community to restrict parking within the Lanikai loop to address growing safety concerns.  The parking restriction to be implemented on the Presidents Day weekend will test a proposal to permanently remove parking on the bike lane side of the Lanikai loop where there are families with children, beachgoers, joggers,  bicyclists and pedestrians.  Significantly, the removal of parking on the bike lane side of the Lanikai loop will also preserve roadway width and allow improved ingress and egress for emergency responders and residents. Motorists are cautioned that the removal of parking on the bike lane side of the Lanikai loop during the Presidents Day weekend will significantly reduce parking capacity within Lanikai by up to half.  As such, motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, consider alternative means to access Lanikai beach, such as by riding The Bus, walking and/or biking, or seek alternative beaches for recreation.

Mayor Caldwell signs law prohibiting sitting or lying on pedestrian malls

Having trouble viewing this email? Click here to view as a webpage.

02/11/15 Mayor Caldwell signs law prohibiting sitting or lying on pedestrian malls   Mayor Caldwell signs law prohibiting sitting or lying on pedestrian malls   Chinatown - Mayor Kirk Caldwell, surrounded by Chinatown and Downtown business leaders, this morning signed Bill 62, prohibiting sitting or lying in four city pedestrian malls in the Chinatown/Downtown business district: Fort Street Mall, Kekaulike Mall, Sun Yat Sen Mall, and Union Mall.  “Sit-lie is working,” said Mayor Caldwell.  “We’re hearing this from residents and businesses in Waikīkī, Downtown and Chinatown.  With Bill 62, we’re adding an additional tool to help make business districts across O‘ahu safe and accessible for all.” This new law complements the bill signed into law by Mayor Caldwell on December 2, 2014 prohibiting sitting or lying on sidewalks in specific business districts around the island, including Chinatown and Downtown, and the original law signed in September 2014 banning sitting and lying in the business district of Waikīkī. Sit-lie laws require police to issue a warning before any other action is taken.  The vast majority of people who have been warned comply without any further action.  Sit-lie was enacted for Waikīkī on September 16, 2014, then the Honolulu Police Department (HPD) conducted an educational period until September 26.  Since then, HPD has issued a total of 489 warnings and 110 citations.  Only 2 arrests have been made. Since enforcement began in Chinatown and Downtown in mid-December, HPD has issued 964 warnings and only 10 citations and 3 arrests. The Institute for Human Services (IHS) reports a notable decrease in visible homelessness in Waikīkī since sit-lie went into effect, including a 50% increase in people experiencing homelessness from out-of-state compared to last winter season.  IHS has received positive feedback from Waikīkī residents and businesses on the progress made through sit-lie and increased community outreach. IHS January Status Update (3-month report): Intakes (Clients Receiving Services) from Waikiki: 68 Moved into Shelter: 14 Moved into Housing: 6 (5 are Housing First, 1 Permanent Housing) Relocated Out-of-State: 3 Housing-Ready: 27 (24 are looking for housing) Relocation Inquiries/Prospects: 18 Additional information provided by IHS: Since the law went into effect, homeless outreach personnel are finding and serving more individuals who have been experiencing homeless for 10+ years. Outreach workers have had more individuals accept services since sit-lie has been enforced. Meal program numbers are increasing – IHS is now serving an average of 750 meals per day compared to about 650 meals per day at this time last year (2014). Waikīkī residents have mentioned to IHS leadership and outreach workers that overall visible homelessness has decreased.  For the most part, Waikīkī stakeholders are happy about sit-lie and the progress it’s making. Just as sit-lie paired with IHS’ outreach initiative is making a positive impact in Waikīkī, enforcement of Bill 62 is aimed to complement homeless service efforts currently underway in the Chinatown business district. The city has entered into a five-year contract with Mental Health Kokua (MHK) to repurpose Pauahi Hale and provide a broad range of services to help some of the most vulnerable members of the Downtown/Chinatown community.  Initial services currently provided under the contract include public showers, restrooms, and hygiene facilities from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. seven days a week. MHK has partnered with IHS, River of Life Mission and other nonprofits as part of its Pauahi Hale Enrichment Program, which will serve as a portal of entry into social services, housing, and medical and behavioral health treatment.  Approximately 67 residents will be housed at Pauahi Hale, including 42 Housing First clients and 25 people participating in MHG’s Safe Haven program.  Countless others will be assisted through outreach, assessment, referral, and hygiene services operated out of Pauahi Hale. -END-

02/09/15 City seeks input on future of Blaisdell Center site

Having trouble viewing this email? Click here to view as a webpage.

02/09/15 City seeks input on future of Blaisdell Center site February 9, 2015 Contact: Curtis Lum, Public Information Officer, Department of Planning and Permitting, 768-8284. City seeks input on future of Blaisdell Center site   Mayor Kirk Caldwell and the Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) will host a public workshop and seek community input Feb. 10, 2015, to help develop a master plan for the revitalization of the Neal S. Blaisdell Center. The workshop is set for 6 to 8:30 p.m. in the Blaisdell Center Hawaii Suites, 777 Ward Ave.  Parking will be free and light refreshments will be provided. The city is creating a master plan because most of the facilities at the 22-acre Blaisdell site were built in 1964 and are facing increasing maintenance and renovation needs.  The facilities often do not meet the needs of users, and they face competition from newer facilities. The city recently selected a consultant team that includes AECOM, WCIT Architecture, and Lincoln Center Global of New York to help craft a vision for a self-sustaining cultural and entertainment complex at the Blaisdell site.  The Feb. 10 workshop will be the first of many opportunities for community input to determine the future of the Blaisdell Center. “The most important aspect of this process is public participation and input because the people will ultimately determine the success of this valuable community and civic resource,” Mayor Caldwell said. For more information, visit www.todhonolulu.org. If you require special assistance, auxiliary aid and/or service to participate in this event (i.e., sign language interpreter, interpreter for language other than English, or wheelchair accessibility), please call 768-8000, or email your request to info@honoluludpp.org at least three business days prior to the event.  -END-
