DRAFT O‘ahu Bike Plan

1 Introduction

Introduction

O‘ahu is at an important juncture in its growth and development, with an opportunity to transform into a highly livable community where public spaces are actively used, and there are safe, convenient, accessible, and attractive transportation options. The O‘ahu Bike Plan provides a strategy for better integrating bicycling into the City and County of Honolulu’s (“City’s”) transportation system. It provides an array of important policy and program recommendations and identifies an integrated network of on-road bike lanes and routes and off-road paths that will link people with their favorite and most visited destinations. There is great potential for bicycles to become a significant transportation mode for O‘ahu and this Plan provides a guide for becoming a bicycle-friendly community.

Excessive speeds and the danger resulting from these speeds have fundamentally changed the way our children can enjoy their neighborhood streets. Many parents and schools prohibit their children from riding bicycles to school due to safety concerns. All of O‘ahu’s residents should feel safe on our streets. It is time to promote the practice of Kamehameha I's Law of the Splintered Paddle-the right of all people to be safe on our roadways.

Societal Trends. Several contemporary

1.1

Overview

Need for Bike Planning. O‘ahu’s physical

beauty, mild year-round climate, and relatively flat coastal plain make it ideal for bicycle transportation. In spite of this, many of our residents are reluctant to use bicycles even for short trips—why?

trends and factors influenced the development of the O‘ahu Bike Plan and point to the need to be a bicycle-friendly community. Among these are public health, livable communities, sustainable mobility, unstable fossil fuel costs, and major planned improvements to the island’s transportation system (see diagram).

Well, like many places in the U.S., O‘ahu has matured as a place dominated by the private automobile, to the detriment of alternative travel modes such as walking, bicycling, and transit. Increasingly, this auto-dependence may affect our quality of life. While the auto provides an important means to move around the island, increasing congestion is making it difficult, time consuming, and expensive to use. Many facets of a Bicycle-Friendly Community DRAFT O‘ahu Bike Plan

1 Introduction

Honolulu should invest in sensible alternative transportation modes that are sustainable, tread lightly on our natural environment, and yield significant health benefits. There is, however, no single panacea. The investment strategy must be built on several wellintegrated legs including transit, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, and the automobile. The strategy must also institutionalize the commitment, at all levels of government, to move toward a post automobile-centric era, where several viable--and more sustainable-transportation modes serve the mobility needs of our residents and visitors.

1.2

Plan Development

History. Formal bicycle planning in Hawai‘i has matured over the past three decades, as congestion on roadways increased and policy makers looked for alternate transportation modes. In 1977, the Hawai‘i State Department of Transportation (DOT) prepared Bike Plan Hawai‘i for the State’s roadway system. Most recently updated in 2003, implementation of its ambitious projects will complement the City’s bikeway network.

In 1994, the City Council and Mayor adopted Ordinance 94-39 (Revised Ordinances of Honolulu Section 2-12.1) which directed that a bikeway system master plan for urban Honolulu be prepared and updated every five years. The initial 1999 Honolulu Bicycle Master Plan, adopted by City Council Resolution 99252 CD1 in September 1999, was the first significant step towards making Honolulu a bicycle-friendly community. The starting point for this O‘ahu Bike Plan was the 1999 Plan, which covered the geographic area from Pearl City to Kahala. This O‘ahu Bike Plan updates the 1999 Plan, broadening the scope to include the entire island. In 2006, a proposed City Charter amendment (Charter Amendment #8) to make O‘ahu more pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly received 1-2 DRAFT O‘ahu Bike Plan

Islandwide bikeway connectivity

strong support from the island’s voters. The Revised Charter of Honolulu now specifically mentions bikeways under the powers, duties and functions for the Director of the Department of Transportation Services (DTS), and a new section (Section 6-17) has been added that explicitly states the priority of making the City pedestrian and bicycle friendly. The City has already taken large steps towards achieving bike-friendly status since the publication of the 1999 Plan. The City received honorable mention status as a Bicycle Friendly Community in 2007 by the League of American Bicyclists (LAB). The City conducted several feasibility studies for projects recommended in the 1999 Plan and constructed a number of them (first phase of the Young Street bikeway, several College Access projects, etc.). Bike boxes, one of the 1999 Plan recommendations to improve bike safety, have been installed at four intersections on a trial basis. The Diamond Head Bike Staging Facility was opened in 2007 and created a popular and convenient staging area for bicyclist recreation. The City’s bike coordinator continues to work with City and State agencies in coordinating the City’s bike program as well as staffing the Mayor’s Advisory Committee on Bicycling (MACB).

1 Introduction

The City continues to underwrite the “Bike Ed” program and over the past 10 years, over 60,000 fourth graders have received bike skills training because of it. The City maintains a growing network of bike facilities and has placed over 400 bike racks around Honolulu and continues to look for new rack locations. It continues to produce and distribute public service announcements to educate road users and has widely circulated a concise bike safety handout highlighting bicyclist rules of the road. The entire fleet of City transit buses is equipped with bike racks and larger bike racks are gradually being implemented to accommodate more bikes. O‘ahu is well above the national average for bicycle commuting (see chart below) and is home to a vibrant bike culture with a tradition of strong bicycle advocacy.

Update Process. The process to update the

1999 Plan involved a comprehensive approach that addressed both the “soft” (i.e., policies and programs) and “hard” (physical improvements) aspects of bicycling in our community. These efforts, summarized in the following list, form the technical basis for the O‘ahu Bike Plan. Appendix A contains a listing of the major technical reports and work products prepared to support this Plan. Electronic versions of these documents are provided in the accompanying CD-ROM.

1 Introduction

•

develop preliminary cost estimates for route segment improvements; and

•

prepare an implementation plan and benchmarks for measuring the Plan’s progress.

Public participation and involvement were critical to the Plan’s formulation. Community input was gathered throughout the planning process and included: public workshops held in May and October 2008; small group meetings; a bicycling survey; and general comments submitted through the project website and by telephone. Additionally, the MACB, comprised of a cross section of bicycling advocates and groups, provided advice and support for formulation of the Plan. The Plan identifies important programs and policies to institutionalize bicycle transportation into the routine working of all levels of government agencies and, in some instances, the private sector. Although DTS will lead the implementation of the Plan, it recognizes the need to coordinate with a broad array of agencies, organizations, and interest groups for the Plan to succeed. The diagram to the right summarizes the complexity and range of stakeholders involved in the planning and implementation framework on O‘ahu.

are direct and continuous, important characteristics of popular bikeways. The ultimate goal is to create an integrated network of bikeways that provides residents a viable and safe transportation alternative to the automobile. Projected cost to design and build all of the projects in this islandwide master plan is about $217 million. City projects total $100 million, a significant portion of which can be funded from regular line agency maintenance and capital improvement budgets, coinciding with other park and roadway improvements. The remaining projects involve State, Federal, private or shared jurisdiction roads.

Bicycle Network. The Plan provides

recommendations for the development of a regional network of 572 miles of new bikeways island-wide (all jurisdictions). Most of the recommended bikeways are within existing street rights-of-way, a choice necessitated by limited land area and predicated on the legal right of bicycles to operate on public roadways.

The recommended bikeways, discussed in Chapter 5, connect primary employment centers and commercial and recreational destinations with residential areas. The routes

Plan Organization

The Plan’s vision, goals, and objectives are outlined in Chapter 2. Chapters 3 and 4 discuss the specific programs and policies that will help to institutionalize bicycle planning into O‘ahu’s transportation and land use planning processes. Chapter 3 discusses the City’s programs and policies that pertain to the transportation planning categories of Encouragement, Engineering, Education, Enforcement, and Evaluation; while Chapter 4 presents programs and policies that support the overall bicycle network, including parking, showers and changing facilities. Chapter 4 also highlights the integration of bicycle facilities with the City’s public transit system. The physical bikeway projects needed to create O‘ahu’s future bikeway network are discussed and illustrated in Chapter 5, as are the associated costs. Finally, Chapter 6 provides specific benchmarks to measure progress in achieving the long-term vision for a bicycle-friendly O‘ahu.

In addition, challenges such as the design, financing, and implementation of the network and the institutionalization of recommended policies and programs will emerge as obstacles. However, with sustained administrative, legislative, and community support, together we can make great strides toward implementing this Plan. The following Hawaiian proverb sums up the attitude we all must share to transform O"ahu into a bike-friendly community. !A!ohe hana nui ke alu !ia (No task is too big when done together by all)

If O‘ahu is to maintain its character and prestige as a great place to live and visit, we should commit the resources to transform our auto-centric transportation system into one that reinforces the qualities that make our Island livable. Nothing less than a fundamental shift in emphasis from the automobile to alternative transportation modes is required to achieve this. The O‘ahu Bike Plan is an important step in that process. To fully realize O‘ahu’s potential as a great place for bicycles, Bike Plan recommendations must lead to physical changes in facilities measured in miles of bike lanes, numbers of bike parking stalls, and the like. It must also lead to changes in the way we currently consider bicycles within the City’s overall transportation system. These changes, in turn, will lead to greater use of bicycles.

Vision, Goals, Objectives

2.1

Vision

The vision for the O‘ahu Bike Plan provides the overall focus and direction for the Plan. It is rooted in the discussions from small group meetings, public workshops, and comments received about hopes for the future of O‘ahu as a bicycle-friendly community. In those discussions, a number of recurring themes emerged of what a bicycle-friendly O‘ahu would look and feel like, including: • • • • • •

improved safety; bicycle amenities; connectivity and accessibility; education; enforcement; and social acceptance.

Based on these themes, and the 1999 Plan’s vision statement, O‘ahu’s twenty-year vision for bicycling is:

“O‘ahu is a bicycle-friendly community where bicycling is a safe, viable, and popular travel choice for residents and visitors of all ages.” To elaborate on the statement, bicyclefriendliness suggests a community where it is easy to ride a bicycle--that is, on O‘ahu, roads are to be shared, and animosity between motorists and bicyclists does not exist. The bicycle network on O‘ahu is comprehensive and continuous, making it convenient to fulfill a range of transportation needs. The essence of the vision is that riding a bicycle is for everyone and O‘ahu offers bikeways that are safe for

all types of people: a child or college student riding to school, an adult commuting to work, or an elderly person riding to the post office. The vision supports bicycle projects, programs, and policies through a series of goals and objectives.

2.2

Goals and Objectives

In direct support of the O!ahu Bike Plan’s vision, the goals and objectives form a framework through which the Plan can be implemented. The O!ahu Bike Plan includes the following four goals, each with corresponding supporting objectives. The Plan also establishes benchmarks for measuring progress in achieving these goals and objectives (see Chapter 6 Implementation and Benchmarks). Goal #1: To increase the mode share of bicycle trips. Objective #1: Increase the number of people who ride bicycles. Objective #2: Increase the number of bicycle trips. Objective #3: Provide and maintain a continuous bicycle network. Objective #4: Provide and maintain bicycle support facilities (e.g., showers and bicycle racks). Goal #1 focuses primarily on increasing the number of trips that are made by bicycles. Objectives 1 through 4 support this goal, and are primarily engineering and design oriented, recognizing the themes of increased ridership, improved safety by ensuring maintenance of the bicycle facilities, bicycle amenities, connectivity and accessibility.

2 Vision, Goals, Objectives

Goal #2: To enhance cooperation between roadway users. Objective #5: Increase the awareness of bicyclists, motorists, and pedestrians of their rights and responsibilities. Objective #6: Enforce the traffic code. Ke K!n!wai M!malahoe

Goal #2 has objectives based on the themes of improving education, enforcement, and social acceptance. The need for a coordinated strategy to enhance cooperation of roadway users is essential in order to increase the quality of life on O‘ahu and the number of people who choose to ride a bicycle. A recent national study by GMAC Insurance Company (2009) indicates that Hawai‘i drivers rank near the bottom of a national ranking of driver aptitude, reinforcing the need to improve driver skills and awareness. Goal #3: To encourage and promote bicycling as a safe, convenient, and pleasurable means of travel. Objective #7: Provide a variety of bikeways.

#3 and its objectives will help improve bicycle safety and comfort. These objectives also incorporate the themes of access and connectivity including integration with transit, social acceptance, and improving safety through measures of encouragement for all people on the island. The State’s constitution contains a unique provision, originally decreed by Kamehameha I, which guarantees the safety of the highways to all. The Law of the Splintered Paddle or Ke K"n"wai M"malahoe, is paraphrased in the Hawai‘i State Constitution as: “Let every elderly person, woman and child lie by the roadside in safety.” Goal #3 embodies this provision and its contribution to ensure O‘ahu is a Bicycle-Friendly Community.

Objective #8: Reduce the number of traffic crashes involving bicycles.

Goal #4: To be recognized by the League of American Bicyclists as a Bicycle-Friendly Community.

Objective #9: Reduce the number of bicycle thefts.

Objective #12: Implement the O!ahu Bike Plan.

Objective #10: Increase the number of visitors who ride bicycles.

Objective #13: Provide funding to achieve the goals of the Plan.

Objective #11: Ensure integration of bicycles with transit. Goal #3 highlights the need for a safer bicycling environment on O‘ahu. A variety of programs and policies that relate to Goal

bicycling related to the categories of Engineering, Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, and Evaluation (referred to as the five E’s). The City applied for BicycleFriendly status in 2007, and received an Honorable Mention. Attainment of Bicycle-Friendly Community (BFC) designation is a way to measure progress, track achievements in the five E’s, and evaluate the City’s efforts against other communities recognized as premier places for cycling.

Diamond Head Bike Staging Facility

A BFC provides safe accommodation for cycling and encourages its residents to bike for transportation and recreation. Objectives #12 and #13 focus on areas identified in LAB’s feedback on the City’s 2007 BFC application as needing improvement in order to achieve the designation of “Bicycle-Friendly Community.”

3 Encouragement, Engineering, Education, Enforcement, Evaluation The five “E’s” represent a comprehensive approach used by transportation planners in bicycle planning. The five “E’s” address the myriad of issues and components—both physical and intangible—needed to provide a safe, convenient bicycling experience on the island’s bikeways. They are also used by the LAB in its evaluation of communities for its BFC program. Strength in each of the E’s creates a successful and vibrant bicycle-friendly community. Encouragement programs and policies inspire and support residents in changing their transportation habits to include bicycle use. Engineering programs and policies support the physical improvements built on the ground for bicycle facilities (projects discussed in Chapter 5). Education programs and policies can give bicyclists, motorists, and pedestrians the knowledge and confidence necessary to safely share the road. Enforcement programs and policies help bicyclists ride more often and more safely, and are generally implemented by police officers who help reinforce compliance with traffic laws and safety among all users of the transportation system. Evaluation programs and policies provide feedback on efforts to help public officials learn whether or not implementing the projects, programs, and policies effects change in the bicycle mode share. Additionally, evaluation can improve programs and increase effectiveness of taxpayer investments. This chapter discusses the five “E’s” in detail, and recommends specific programs

and policies that DTS (unless otherwise noted) should pursue to fulfill the vision of the Plan. The chapter concludes with two additional policy initiatives relevant to bicycling: Safe Routes to School; and Complete Streets. By taking a multi-faceted approach to safety involving a variety of programs and policies, the City can educate current riders while encouraging new riders to bicycle in a safe, predictable manner. To increase ridership, as this Plan hopes to do, the community must be confident that bicycling is a safe choice for transportation and recreation. This means increasing the awareness of all roadway users about safe behavior and improving the physical bicycling environment. Based on other jurisdictions’ experiences, and in light of the popularity of bicycling already enjoyed here, investment in encouragement, engineering, education, enforcement, and evaluation programs and policies will help to push O‘ahu to embrace bicycling as an accepted means of transportation. While new bicycle facilities will certainly help to increase bicycling, it is the less costly, often more easily implemented programs and policies that will ensure bicycling permeates into the transportation culture. DRAFT O‘ahu Bike Plan

3.1

Encouragement

Encouragement programs are designed to meet a range of objectives, including raising awareness of bicycling as an activity, as well as the existing bicycle infrastructure; connecting current and future bicyclists to existing resources; and motivating residents to bicycle more often or new bicyclists to start riding. Discussion follows of programs that will help O‘ahu achieve better encourage bicycling.

Programs 1. Implement individualized outreach to O‘ahu residents to include: a. Survey of bicycling needs and questions; b. Delivery of customized packets of maps, brochures, discounts for bike shops; and c. Hosting safety classes and guided rides. 2. Establish a “Bike to Work Week” with program incentives that support bicycling and alternative transportation modes. 3. Include bicycles in the City motor pool. 4. Provide bicycle facility information to residents and visitors: a. Create and disseminate bicycle maps showing designated paths, streets,

lanes, bicycle rental locations, shower and storage facilities (both print and online versions); b. Establish online bicycle trip planning maps, integrated with transit maps, to include route selection based on scenery, topography, type of facility, and points of interest; c. Create information for visitors-including maps, guides, and rules of the road--and distribute to bike shops, hotels, youth hostels, and bed and breakfast accommodations; d. Encourage hotels and other visitor accommodations to provide and/or expand bike parking and storage; and e. Work with Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA) and Hawai‘i Visitors and Convention Bureau (HVCB) to promote O‘ahu as a bicycle-friendly community. 5. Encourage establishment of bike sharing programs on O‘ahu. 6. Encourage employee incentives and participation in LAB’s Bicycle Friendly Business (BFB) program, such as: a. Flextime for bike commuters; b. Cash back to cyclists who do not use employee parking; c. Bike shop discounts; d. Subsidize bicycle repair; e. Encourage friendly competitions that publicize firms’ commuting habits; f. Coordinate a bicycle-buddy system; and g. Sponsor bicycle rides during lunchtime or after work.

Engineering

In addition to on-the-ground engineering improvements such as bikeway projects (discussed in Chapter 5), engineering-related Bicycle brochures 3-2

programs and policies can help improve bikeway maintenance and provide traffic control devices and signage. 3.2.1 Maintenance Maintenance programs are important to ensure bicycle facilities are in the best condition, resulting in a safer bicycling environment. Both on-street and off-street bikeways need regular maintenance. Bicycles are more susceptible than motor vehicles to roadway conditions such as potholes, broken glass, and loose gravel. Large potholes for a cyclist could easily break a wheel or force a detour into the travel lane. Some cities have set up on-line hazard reporting systems, such as Portland’s B-SMART ~ Bike Safety Monitoring And Reporting Tool. The condition of Honolulu’s roads rank near the bottom1 based on a 2007 national poll by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) (Rough Roads Ahead, 2009). Not surprisingly, a universal theme coming from public bikeway planning meetings was the need to improve conditions of our roadways. The following programs will help to remedy this.

Programs 1. Implement comprehensive on- and offstreet bikeway maintenance programs to: a. Perform street sweeping on roads with bicycle facilities more frequently than those without; b. Promptly repair potholes and cracks along roadway shoulders (minimizing the need for cyclists to dodge into travel lanes); c. Actively coordinate with bicycle 1

Compared to other urban areas (population 500,000 or more) of the U.S.

facility maintenance workers; d. Minimize encroachment from trees and bushes; e. Establish a system to ensure street sweeping after collisions; f. Maintain shared-use paths; and g. Replace non-bicycle-friendly storm grates and utility covers in conjunction with routine maintenance and street resurfacing. 2. Establish a procedure for prompt identification of and response to maintenance needs, including a robust phone hotline and online request system. 3.2.2 Traffic Control Devices Traffic Control Devices, regulated by the Federal Highway Administration’s “Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices” (MUTCD), facilitate safe travel for cyclists throughout the transportation network, and can consist of both vertical signage and onpavement markings. Not only can signage help bicyclists locate the best routes, distance, and direction of popular destinations (wayfinding signage), they can also direct bicyclists to short loop rides around a community, amenities such as bike parking, and bikeway system maps. Signs should be in locations that are easily viewable to bicyclists. In addition to messages telling bicyclists where to ride, such as “Bike Route” signs, signs can also inform bicyclists where not to ride (e.g., sidewalks in business districts or Waik!k!). Adding pavement markings such as a bike box (advance stop line) are a way to give priority to cyclists at signalized intersections. Destination signage helps bicyclists use the bikeway network as an effective transportation system. These signs typically display distance, direction, and in some DRAFT O‘ahu Bike Plan

cases, estimated travel time information to various destinations.

New Bicycle Destination guide signs proposed for the next MUTCD update.

On O‘ahu, destination signage would be helpful for directing bicyclists to destinations such as Downtown Honolulu, college campuses, beaches and parks, and shopping areas. Signage can also assist cyclists in navigating to major bikeways. The following programs and policies would help O‘ahu establish these types of Traffic Control Devices and enhance the bicycling environment.

Programs

f.

1. Establish a variety of on- and off-street signage: a. Continue to promote sharing of roadway space between motorists and bicyclists through signing roadways with “Share the Road” and “Bike Route” signs; b. Promote sharing of and reduce conflicts on shared-use-path space by installing “Share the Path” and “Give Way to Pedestrians” signs; c. Provide wayfinding signage and posted bike maps for popular destinations and short loop rides; d. Install bicycle signals at appropriate intersections; e. Establish pavement markings (e.g., sharrows, bike boxes) where

appropriate for additional awareness and marking of bicycle facilities; and Develop a sign maintenance program.

Policies 1. Ensure appropriate accommodations for bicycles during roadway construction, according to recommendations of the MACB. 2. Work with the Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP) to adopt major bicycle policy statements in the City’s General Plan and Development and Sustainable Communities Plans that “every street and highway on which bicycles are permitted to operate is a ‘bicycle street’ and should be designed and maintained to accommodate shared use by bicycles and motor vehicles” (Primary Urban Center Development Plan, p. 3-61) 3. Work with DPP to create a roadway classification system in the Development and Sustainable Communities Plans that designates bicycle priority streets. 4. Ensure that traffic impact studies conducted for new development projects assess impacts on and identify mitigation for all travel modes (auto, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian). 5. Incorporate appropriate bicycle and pedestrian facilities into all new roads and roadway improvements, ensuring safe linkages to existing bicycle facilities.

3 Encouragement, Engineering, Education, Enforcement, Evaluation

6. City agencies involved in roadway maintenance, construction, and design should review and adopt the latest editions of AASHTO’s Guide for the Development of Bicycle Facilities and the design guidelines outlined in the MUTCD for bikeway facilities (both documents are undergoing significant revisions and will be revised within the next year or two). 7. Periodically update City design manuals to be consistent with most current versions of MUTCD and AASHTO. 8. Incorporate project recommendations from the O‘ahu Bicycle Master Plan into the O‘ahu Regional Transportation Plan and subsequent updates of the State’s Bike Plan Hawaii. 9. Identify opportunities for bicycle projects to be incorporated into capital improvement and maintenance projects. 3.2.3 Subdivision Street Standards Current City street subdivision standards provide an option of providing bike lanes or off street shared use paths (SUPs) for new multilane streets. According to AASHTO standards, SUP’s are considered to be a complementary system of off-road transportation routes for bicyclists and others. They should not be considered a replacement for on-street facilities; therefore, the subdivision standard should be changed to require on street bike lanes on all new multilane roadways and recommend inclusion of SUPs.

Policy Request DPP to amend its subdivision street standard for multilane streets (Arterials 1 and 2) to require on-street bike lanes and continue to encourage construction of adjacent shared use paths.

Education

Objectives for educational programs and policies include promoting safety and educating all roadway users about their rights and responsibilities. The following educational programs and policies can help bicyclists and automobile drivers learn about safely sharing space with other users of the transportation system.

Programs 1. Develop a multi-modal access guide given at point of sale and available at all bicycle shops/online that includes information on the following: a. Map of the island with transit stops, recommended walking and biking routes, nearby landmarks, facilities such as restrooms and drinking fountains, locations of bicycle and vehicle parking, and major roads; b. Public transit service frequency, fares, accepted methods of payment, first and last runs, schedules, phone numbers and websites of transit service providers; c. Walking/biking travel times from transit tops to popular destinations; and d. Accessibility and paratransit services and facilities for the disabled. 2. Expand current education programs: DRAFT O‘ahu Bike Plan

3 Encouragement, Engineering, Education, Enforcement, Evaluation

a. Include questions regarding bicycles on driver’s license tests (not just in the test manual); b. Expand the Hawai"i Bicycling League’s (HBL) current BikeEd education program to include all 4th graders; c. Initiate “Adult Ed” programs to encourage commuting and teach proper etiquette and bike maintenance; and d. Create and air public service announcements (PSAs) regarding the rules of the road and promote the spirit and awareness of Ke K"n"wai M"malahoe (safety of the highways for all--see Goal #3). 3. Establish a neighborhood traffic calming program to make neighborhoods more pedestrian-/bike-friendly: a. Provide technical support to Neighborhood Boards, developers, and public and private sector designers and engineers on traffic calming initiatives; and b. Add bikeway sharing signage (e.g., “Share-the-Road”, “Bicycle Route”) to neighborhood streets. 4. Implement ‘3-foot rule’ legislation and and education campaign to educate motorists and cyclists on safe, minimum passing distances (i.e., a three-foot horizontal separation in the roadway is needed to minimize motor vehicle and bicycle crashes). The same rule should

MUTCD Bicycle Warning sign (W11-1) above Share the Road plaque (W16-1)

also apply to bicyclists passing pedestrians on shared use paths or sidewalks; the larger or faster moving vehicle should always give way to smaller, slowing moving vehicles (or persons).

Policy 1. Continue to provide education and technical assistance to community-based groups that desire to make their neighborhoods more accessible for bicycling, and by doing so support the City’s Charter 8 Amendment mandate of making the City pedestrian- and bicyclefriendly.

3.4

Enforcement

Requirements of enforcement programs and policies listed here differ from the five “E’s” due to the essential involvement of the Honolulu Police Department (HPD). Several programs and policies can enhance the HPD’s interaction with DTS, prioritize enforcement activities, and generate valuable statistics regarding collisions that can help determine targets for future education and encouragement programs. The State of Hawai‘i had the 3rd highest average annual fatality rate for bicyclists (4.7 deaths/million residents) in the U.S. from 2001-2005, nearly twice that of the rest of the nation during this period (CDC 2009). During that period, the number of non-fatal crashes increased, from 280 to 329 statewide

Keiki riders in BikeEd 3-6

DRAFT O‘ahu Bike Plan

3 Encouragement, Engineering, Education, Enforcement, Evaluation

(State of Hawai‘i DOT 2007). Over the past few years, an average of four bicyclists have been killed on O‘ahu each year and non-fatal bicycle crashes averaged 260 per year (State of Hawai‘i DOH 2008). The majority of non-fatal bicycle crashes are reported as “non-traffic,” (occurring on private roads, driveways and parking lots). Better enforcement and implementation of the O‘ahu Bike Plan should lead to increased safety of O‘ahu’s bicyclists in the future.

Programs Implement programs to enforce the laws of the road as they apply to motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians, including: 1. Integrate bicycle traffic education, including the rights and responsibilities of cyclists, into police officer training; 2. Prioritize enforcement activities to target motorist violations most dangerous to bicyclists; 3. Strictly enforce speed limits on all streets thereby improving pedestrian and bicycle safety and access; 4. Offer ‘fix-it’ ticket policy for improperly equipped or operating bicycles; 5. Offer a traffic school option for bicyclerelated violations for both motorists and bicyclists; 6. Continue to work with neighborhood groups and utilize variable speed feedback signs and trailers to reduce speeds and enforce speed limits; 7. Implement an enforcement program for dangerous behavior on the road by all road users; and 8. Create a positive reinforcement program for good behavior.

Policy 1. Support implementation of the bike/pedestrian safety recommendations in the State DOT’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan (2007).

3.5

Evaluation

Evaluation programs and policies, such as those listed here, are critical in determining whether bicycle infrastructure and programs are working to increase ridership and decrease accidents. In the likely event that bicycle ridership increases, the data generated would help the City earn positive media coverage and support its funding proposals for bicycle projects and programs. These data are also useful to compare the relationship between ridership and reported collisions over time.

Programs 1. Conduct annual counts and surveys of bicycle trips according to national best practices: 2. Assist volunteer groups in establishing programs to monitor bicycle use patterns; 3. Conduct baseline counts on key recreation and commuter routes and update counts to track changes in use; 4. Require assessment of bicyclists and pedestrians in all traffic studies; 5. Insert separate bicycle and pedestrian survey questions into any existing travel mode or City audit survey instrument (i.e., break out the combined “bike/ped” components into separate components ); 6. Routinely compile and publish data on crashes/fatalities including their causes and locations (e.g., geographic region; bike path or route); and 7. Conduct counts before and after new projects to monitor use and effectiveness.

Policies 1. Prepare an annual Bicycle Master Plan progress report to be submitted to the Mayor, the Transportation Commission, DRAFT O‘ahu Bike Plan

the City Council, O‘ahu Metropolitan Planning Organization, and the MACB. 2. Incorporate recommendations of the O‘ahu Bike Plan into other City plans as they are updated. These include the General Plan, Sustainable Communities and Development Plans, and Special Area Plans. 3. Use the benchmarks identified in Chapter 6 to monitor progress toward implementation of the O‘ahu Bike Plan.

3.6

Other Policy Initiatives

3.6.1 Safe Routes to School Safe Routes to School (SRTS) is a federallyfunded program designed to increase the number of students who walk and bike to school through implementation of the five E’s. Hawai‘i’s program funding is managed by the State DOT. Federal funding for Hawai"i’s program has been about $1 million per year for the past four years. The City should help support expansion of the program to all O‘ahu schools. 3.6.2 Complete Streets Complete Streets is a nation-wide coalition to encourage the development of policies at Federal, State, and local levels that ensure streets design guarantees all users (pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders) are able to safely move along and across a street. In 2009, Hawai‘i Governor Lingle signed S.B. 718 into law (Act 54). The Complete Streets Act requires DOT to convene a statewide task force to review design standards and determine new policy needs to implement a complete streets policy. DTS should work closely with DOT and the task force to create and implement such policies.

4 Support Facilities

4 Support Facilities Support facilities are those that complement the overall network of bicycle facilities (lanes, routes, paths--discussed in Chapter 5), such as parking, showers and changing facilities, and integration with public transit. This chapter identifies a range of programs and policies that address these support facilities.

4.1

Parking

As more bikeways are constructed and bicycle usage grows, the demand for parking will increase. Bicycle parking should be installed on public property, or be made available to private entities at cost or at subsidized prices to encourage use. Bicycle parking facilities should be required at popular destinations, including major transit centers, government buildings, community centers, parks, schools, and shopping centers.

Short-term bicycle parking accommodates those expected to depart by bike within a two-hour timeframe and is typically provided by racks that support the bicycle but do not have a built-in locking mechanism. The City has an ongoing bike rack placement program where the City installs distinctive bike-shaped racks (see accompanying photo) on sidewalks

requested by adjacent merchants. To date, over 400 racks have been installed at locations around the island.

Long-term bicycle parking is for those

riders expecting to leave their bikes unattended for several hours or more. This parking could consist of secure and weatherprotected bike sheds or lockers.

Attended facilities such as Bikestations©

provide attended long-term parking at areas where bicycle use is popular. They often offer other amenities including bicycle rentals and maintenance service for a charge, as well as free access to showers, bike sharing, and 24-hour secure bicycle parking. City parks and buildings need to have adequate bicycle parking to encourage bicycle ridership and minimize automobile use. Policies need to be established to ensure that adequate parking facilities are installed and maintained. The adequacy of bike parking in City parks was assessed as part of the planning process in response to City Council Resolution 07-250. Based on a survey of City park managers, there are very few existing bike racks in City parks. To address this shortfall, a new standard should DRAFT O‘ahu Bike Plan

4-1

4 Support Facilities

be adopted to ensure that every City park has at least minimal bicycle parking (to discourage theft and encourage bike use).

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standard of 5% of full time equivalent (FTE) employment, 15% of building occupants for residential projects or a minimum 10% of required auto parking, (whichever is greater). Provide incentives for developers to provide secure short- and long-term bicycle storage facilities and for building owners to retrofit premises to provide these facilities for tenant use. Amend City Parks Department Standard Details to include bicycle parking requirements for all City Parks. Implement Council Resolution 07-250 to install additional bicycle racks in City Parks in accordance with the standards recommended in Table 1, and formally incorporate these into the City’s Park Standards. Promote establishment of attended bicycle parking facilities (e.g., Bikestations©) at major destinations.

Programs Continue and expand bicycle parking facilities through: 1. Installing and managing bike rental lockers for long-term parking at major destinations including the airport, Downtown Honolulu, Park & Ride transit facilities, regional malls, universities, and colleges; 2. Expanding the City’s bicycle rack installation program, especially at major destinations and major event venues (Kapiolani Park, Waikiki Shell, Ala Moana Beach Park); 3. Providing bicycle valet services at major City events to encourage bicycle use; and 4. Designating bicycle parking areas and ensure adequate bicycle parking signs and pavement markings.

Policies 1. Establish a bicycle parking requirement in the City’s Land Use Ordinance and/or Building Code to identify minimum short- and long-term bicycle parking requirements by land use or building type. The requirements should follow the US Green Building Council’s

commuters and will encourage more employees to ride their bicycles to work. Some cities in the U.S. have requirements for showers (and bike locker facilities) in new and reconstructed developments (e.g., the LEED standard of one shower or changing room per 0.5% FTE occupants). Requirements can vary based on the size and type of the proposed development.

Programs 1. Promote establishment of a network of destination support facilities to provide bike commuters with clothes storage and shower facilities: a. Encourage developers, building owners, and facility managers to provide shower and changing facilities by offering tax incentives; and b. Encourage health centers and fitness clubs to offer membership packages for bicycle commuters. 2. Promote LAB’s BFB employer awards programs for destination facilities.

Policies 1. Establish a bicycle parking requirement in the City’s Land Use Ordinance and/or Building Code to require showers and associated changing room in new and reconstructed developments following the LEED standard of one shower or changing room per 0.5% FTE occupants.

4.3

the availability of secure bike parking or the passengers’ ability to take bikes on the transit vehicles to their final destinations. To do this effectively, the bicycle network must link directly to transit centers and transfer points and there must be adequate accommodation of bicycles at the stops and on transit vehicles. This expands the transit service area, reduces the need for additional auto parking, improves mobility choices, can create denser, mixed-use urban environments, and promotes public health through more active lifestyles.

Honolulu High Capacity Transit Corridor Project. The City, led by the DTS Rapid Transit Division, is in the process of implementing a fixed-guideway transit system that will ultimately extend from Kapolei to UH M#noa and Waik!k!. The project is currently in the environmental review phase (see bikeway maps in Chapter 5 for rail transit alignment and station locations). Ridership projections for 2030 indicate the system will accommodate just under 100,000 boardings each day. Twentytwo stations at approximately one-mile intervals are planned as part of the first phase of development, extending from East Kapolei to Ala Moana Center. The City Department of Planning and Permitting is

Transit Integration

Effective bicycle integration with public transit depends on the ability to bicycle comfortably and safely to and from bus stops and (planned) train stations. Integration with public transit also relies on

Bikes on train (Berlin) DRAFT O‘ahu Bike Plan

undertaking a parallel, community-based, station area master planning effort to coordinate development around each of the planned transit stations. Station area planning has commenced for the six stations at the west end of the line that will be developed first (2010-2013 timeframe). The system is being planned to be bicycle friendly, including provisions to allow bikes on board the guideway vehicles and providing bike racks and lockers at each of the stations, with each station connected to the regional bikeway network.

TheBus. The City’s bus operation has about 250,000 passenger boardings on the average weekday served by a fleet of 540 buses (with about 30,000 bike loadings/month). Bicycle racks are fitted on all the buses with plans to increase rack capacity from two to three bikes over the next few years. Additional bicycle parking at transit stations is needed to accommodate peak hour demands. Key locations include park & ride facilities and transit centers where there is a large volume of morning commuter traffic. As discussed in Section 3.2.2, wayfinding signage at and in the vicinity of transit stations is an important part of the bicycle network and the integration of the transit system. Wayfinding signage should lead bicyclists to bikeways to and from high volume destinations and transit stations, encouraging O‘ahu residents and visitors to bicycle for work and pleasure.

Programs Improve bike accessibility to, and integration with, transit facilities by: 1. Installing wayfinding signage at appropriate locations to provide estimated distance and time to and from transit stations and bus stops. 2. Providing online “bikes on transit” information, including trip planning tools and maps. 3. Adding bike routes to transit maps and creating bike maps that include transit routes. 4. Installing and managing convenient and accessible bicycle parking at TheBus park & ride lots and transit centers, and at the proposed rail transit stations. Bicycle parking should be provided for at least one percent of projected daily boardings for each facility. For stations with high AM boarding volumes (e.g., >1,000), 25% of the bike parking should be in the form of bicycle lockers. Bicycle parking facilities should be located within 300 feet of the station entrance. 5. Routinely reassessing effectiveness of bike-transit integration, transit-related bike parking facilities, and bicycle rider satisfaction to ensure a high level of service. 6. Coordinating CIP bike network improvements with station development plans to ensure stations are connected to the regional bikeway network.

Policies 1. Continue to allow folding bicycles on all City transit vehicles. Folding bikes must be small enough to be placed on either the passenger’s lap or under their seat. 2. Ensure that the new rail transit system is bike friendly by adopting the following policies: a. Ensure every guideway vehicle has a TheBUS bike racks 4-4

convenient area to store bicycles. b. Ensure all transit station stairs are equipped with “stair rails” to facilitate moving bicycles to and from the platform (limited elevator capacity will not be sufficient to provide adequate access to platforms). c. Encourage attended parking facilities such as Bikestations© to locate adjacent to stations with high AM peak period boardings (e.g., >1,000) to provide services such as bike repair, and showering and dressing room facilities for the commuting public.

5 Bikeway Network

5 Bikeway Network An extensive network of lanes, paths, and routes is key to making O‘ahu a bicyclefriendly community. Connecting riders to popular destinations and everyday services will encourage more people to ride for both utilitarian trips as well as recreation. A key component of this network is ensuring that facilities connect to one another, providing a continuous route and multiple options to arrive at destinations. A wide variety of facilities is the best manner in which to serve the diverse types of riders. The four major types of bicycle facilities are lanes, paths, routes, and shoulder bikeways.

Lanes Bicycle lanes are on-street facilities delineated by a wide, white line. Separated from vehicular lanes, they are typically five to six feet in width (four foot minimum) and contain pavement stencils that indicate they are for bicycle use only.

Paths Bicycle paths, referred to as shared use paths or SUPs, are off-street facilities constructed of either concrete or asphalt and 12 feet in width (10-foot minimum). These gradeseparated facilities are family and beginner rider friendly, often traveling through parks

Waialua Beach Road bike path

and in general providing a more leisurely, less direct route. SUPs are considered to supplement, rather than replace, on-road bicycling facilities.

Routes Bicycle routes are on-street facilities, posted with street signage and in some instances, pavement markings. A wide outside traffic lane (14 feet) is typically preferable for routes to enable cars to safely pass bicyclists without crossing the centerline. Shared lane markings (e.g., sharrows) are an option that can be incorporated into popular bicycle routes where curb lane width is not sufficient for a vehicle to pass without crossing the centerline. Sharrows indicate where riders should travel in the lane, reducing potential conflicts with motorists and parked cars, while providing a visual reminder to drivers of bicycle users on the roadways. Sharrows will be included in the forthcoming MUTCD update. Bicycle routes can also be identified by signage only.

5 Bikeway Network

Shoulder Bikeways Shoulder bikeways are wide paved shoulders, at least four-feet in width (five-feet when adjacent to a guard rail, curb, or other barrier used along highways). They are typically separated from vehicle traffic through striping treatments to delineate the space for use by bicycles and pedestrians. It is important to note that with very few exceptions, bicycles are permitted to travel on all public streets within the City, regardless of whether it has been defined as a bikeway.

Shoulder bikeway (Brisbane, Australia)

the City and other entities. The network is composed of 45 miles of lanes, 42 miles of paths, and 32 miles of routes. There are no existing shoulder bikeways.

At present, O‘ahu is served by a series of bikeways that are not yet linked systematically, although there are a few notable exceptions such as the Pearl Harbor Bike Path and the Kalanianaole Highway Bike Lanes in East Honolulu. An often heard comment from community members is that the network is not connected. Connecting segments of the existing network therefore became important prioritizing criterion in selecting new bikeway projects.

Planned Facilities

The total proposed new network for O‘ahu (for all jurisdictions) includes 356 facilities, covering 572 miles. A mix of lanes, paths, routes, and shoulder bikeways create a diverse range of riding experiences while connecting existing facilities and creating an extensive island-wide network. If all of the proposed facilities are built, O‘ahu would have nearly 700 miles of bikeways. The proposed network for City facilities is comprised of 293 miles; 279 are under other jurisdiction (State, Federal, private, or a combination thereof). Projects have been identified for communities throughout the island, ensuring that the proposed projects form a complete connected network that serves each community.

prioritize projects. The flow chart below illustrates the prioritization process. Initially, potential bikeway projects were identified based on public input, adopted plans, and professional judgment of transportation planners and bicycling stakeholders. Proposed bikeways were chosen based on serving popular destinations, while creating an extensive connected network for O‘ahu. In order to provide access to a variety of destinations, project priorities were based on the number of “service classes,” described in Table 3, met by each project. Each project underwent extensive evaluation and was assigned to one of the three priority levels described below. Facilities that connected to other existing bikeways, or served multiple classes (e.g., they connect UH M#noa to Waik!k!), were assigned higher priorities than those that did not connect or only served one or no service class. Engineering feasibility and construction costs were also considered in order to determine the highest priority projects. Priority One projects are considered the most important facilities for the network and should be completed within the next 5-10 years. Priority Two projects should be implemented following the completion of all Priority One projects. These projects will

Facilities that serve popular park areas and/or connect public park facilities to one other (e.g., Kapiolani Park Path). Facilities that branch off major arterial streets, providing an alternate “back roads” route as well as recreational riding opportunities (e.g., Tantalus Loop Ride). Facilities that serve popular destinations for riders, such as shopping centers, parks, or other highly frequented areas (e.g., Downtown Honolulu and Waik!k!). Facilities that connect geographic regions. Different from the Crosstown Routes, these facilities support the larger regional bikeway network (e.g., Kamehameha Highway from Wahiaw# to Hale‘iwa). Facilities that connect to TheBus transit centers and the planned rail stations (e.g., Mokuola Street bike lane).

Each project has been assigned a unique project code (e.g., 1-1, 2-1, 3-1) for identification purposes, with the prefix (i.e., 1-, 2-, or 3-) indicating its priority class. Within each priority class, the projects were sorted by DP area, then alphabetically, and then assigned the second number of the project code. Other than indicating its priority class, the project codes do not indicate a project’s relative importance within each priority class.

The maps also show major bus transit and park & ride facilities, the proposed rail alignment and station locations, and locations of schools, parks, colleges, and major destinations. The proposed bikeway system will provide a variety of facilities for various rider experience levels, ages, and competencies. These include grade-separated paths, onstreet lanes and routes, as well as loop rides and commuting corridors and connections to popular destinations. Taken together, the Plan improves mobility for young and older, student and commuter, and recreational and competitive cyclists.

These facilities are also depicted in the maps that follow the table (Figure 1-6). The maps show both the existing and proposed facilities in all jurisdictions in order to represent the future comprehensive islandwide network. Existing routes, lanes, and paths are shown with solid lines; proposed facilities are shown as dashed lines, with facility types shown in different colors. Each proposed bikeway is labeled with its project code, which can be crossreferenced with Table 5.

5.2.2 Projected Costs The projected costs for all projects in the future bikeway network—regardless of jurisdiction--are estimated at $217 million. They consist of $100 million in City projects and the remaining $117 million in State, Federal, private, and shared jurisdiction projects. Table 6 summarizes costs for all City projects by priority level. Table 6 Projected City Costs for Future Network Length Cost Priority (miles) ($ million) 1 40 $18.6 2

TOTAL

The costs are preliminary, order of magnitude estimates, and include striping, pavement markings, and signage, based on site inspection and recent bid tabulations. For construction of bikeways on existing roadways and intersections, costs include traffic control. A soft cost and contingency budget of 25% is also included. To the extent possible, right-of-way acquisition has been avoided. Costs for State projects are based on Bike Plan Hawai!i 2003 estimates, escalated by 25%. The $100 million estimate for City projects is a conservative estimate that assumes the projects are built on an individual, standalone basis, and that all improvements are classified as “bicycling projects.” A number of the projects, such as lane striping and intersection improvements, can be programmed as part of regular roadway repair, maintenance, and improvement projects. Strategies to bundle projects together, such as a series of interconnecting

bikeways or entire mega-projects such as the urban Honolulu lei of parks, would reduce projected per mile costs by achieving economies of scale in the design and construction process. A number of the project recommendations are for State and Federal facilities that will need to be prioritized and programmed under the State highways funding process. Creativity in identifying alternative funding sources and getting projects built will be required to realize the completed O‘ahu network as proposed and outlined in the O‘ahu Bike Plan. State of Hawai‘i Law (§264-18 HRS) requires that at least 2% of eligible federal funds, as well as other available state highway fund moneys, shall be expended for the creation of bicycle facilities as well as safety devices along bikeways. The City Bike Fund raises about $400,000/year from bicycle/moped registrations and dedicated to funding bicycle projects as well as the BikeEd program and the City’s Bicycle Coordinator position. Additional resources from City’s general fund can also be allocated to bikeway projects. Other potential sources of funding may be available through park improvement projects and public works projects. Some projects, such as the Kapahulu bikeway, have broad community benefits, and could be justified for funding with community redevelopment funds. A one-cent gasoline tax could be used for bicycle facilities and other human-powered modes of transportation. This tax could potentially generate an additional $3.3 million dollars annually for bicycle projects (based on the City’s 2007 rates of highwayuse gasoline and diesel consumption, 2007 State of Hawaii Data Book).

5 Bikeway Network

Federal, State, and private-sector funding will be used for a number of segments of the future network, particularly in the fast growing ‘Ewa district. Additional revenue could be raised through the implementation of Community Facilities Districts, tax increment financing districts, and traditional improvement district programs. Partnerships with community groups and non-profit organizations can help small projects become implemented quickly.

Implementation and

Benchmarks Implementation of The O!ahu Bike Plan depends on the funding and actions of a variety of responsible parties and stakeholders. They include DTS (primary proponent of City roadway facilities and O!ahu Bike Plan policies and programs), the Department of Facility Maintenance (DFM) (responsible for ongoing maintenance of City facilities), City Council (adopts the City’s operating and capital budgets), and State DOT (responsible for State roadways improvements, such as shoulder bikeways). Clearly, funding for projects and programs is critical to the Plan’s execution and the City’s budget process plays a pivotal role. The City’s budget process, which is nearly a yearround effort, involves the Executive Branch (line agencies and Mayor) and City Council. The public may participate at various points in the process. Agencies begin preparing budget requests in July for submittal to the Mayor for review by September 1 (capital budget) and October 1 (operating budget). The Executive Program and Operating Budget and the Executive Program and Capital Budget are submitted to City Council in March of the following year, after which Council holds public hearings on the budget proposals. Council may then delete, amend or add to any item in the proposals. Council then holds three readings on the budget resolutions (open to the public and held on separate days) and must adopt the executive budget ordinances by June 15. Without final Council action by that date, the executive budget ordinances go into effect as submitted by the Mayor upon the start of the new fiscal year on July 1.

Benchmarks have been developed to measure the success of how Plan implementation is meeting the goals and objectives outlined in Chapter 2. Benchmarks are used to indicate progress in reaching an ultimate vision, and specify a timeframe in which achievement should be attained (2010, 2015, 2020, and 2030). Benchmarks are crucial in recognizing and defining priorities, as well as in measuring the achievement of goals and objectives that support the vision of a bicycle-friendly O‘ahu. The benchmarks listed in Table 7 are organized by the four goals and 13 objectives of the Plan. Each objective is accompanied by a specific benchmark(s). Unless otherwise noted, DTS is the responsible party for implementing, tracking, and evaluating progress on the benchmarks.
