Rail Station Area Walk Audits Five walking audits held
Nov 2013 to March 2014
Total of 20 out of 21 station areas examined
20-30 participants at each event (5 events total)
Multiple agencies and stakeholders represented
Prior to tour: Overview of Station Area with supporting materials and discussion

Rail Station Area Walk Audits
Participants were asked:
Is the area walkable and bikeable?
Does walking feel safe, comfortable and is it convenient?
Does taking transit here seem easy?
Is the area well-lit and would it feel safe at night?

Summary of Comments (500+) Rail will present great opportunities for TOD and changing
how people travel, but also many challenges
Level of access to stations varies widely- some stations inaccessible without additional infrastructure
Need more space for pedestrians near station entrances- some missing sidewalks and crosswalks- where present, need wider sidewalks and crosswalks
Bicycle infrastructure lacking- need bike lanes or paths leading to stations - need room near stations for bike share and secure storage
Some station locations are not intuitive; wayfinding will be important for visitors
Will require coordination with HDOT at many stations

Summary of Recommendations
More than 60 individual recommended improvements
Primarily to ensure multimodal access to rail stations
Includes new bus stops, Handi-Van loading zones, passenger loading zones, crosswalks, bike paths/lanes
Some are focused on enhancing TOD opportunities
Vary from small (wider crosswalks) to large (promenade along Kapalama Canal)

Goals of Complete Streets Program Improve Safety Context sensitive solutions Accessibility and mobility
for all Balance the needs and
comfort of all modes and users
Use national best practices Provide non-motorized
options Encourage physical activity Think: “long-term
investment” Build partnerships
statewide Incorporate trees and
landscaping
