Kalihi
Project Overview
The City and County of Honolulu has several ongoing Complete Streets improvements in the works for the Kalihi neighborhood. These projects will contribute to create a network of streets that are safe and convenient for all people, whether they are traveling by foot, bicycle, transit, or ride-share, and regardless of age or ability. Projects include:
- North King Street from Liliha Street to Middle Street
- Waiakamilo Road/Houghtailing Street from Nimitz Highway to School Street
- North School Street from Queen Emma through its transition into Middle Street ending at Dillingham Boulevard
The Opportunity
Complete Streets are part of a transportation and design approach that aims to create a comprehensive, integrated network of streets for all people whether traveling by foot, bicycle, transit, or automobile. Complete Streets are:
- Safe and convenient for people of all ages and abilities
- Accommodating to all modes, including foot, bicycle, transit, and automobile
- Integrated with the community’s vision and sense of place
- Supportive of community health and transportation equity

Upcoming and Current Projects
North King Street
Following requests to improve safety on Kalihi streets and years of community meetings and surveys to identify specific improvements, the City sought feedback on projects for a number of key Kalihi streets: North King Street, North School Street, Middle Street, Houghtailing Street, and Waiakamilo Road. The improvements will include pedestrian crossing beacons, pedestrian crossing islands, curb extensions, bike lanes, and traffic calming. These improvements were developed based on public input gathered over the past several years.
Walkway Improvements
The City and County of Honolulu has roughly 900 miles of missing walkways along our local roadways, and building them is a complex and costly endeavor. The new Oʻahu Pedestrian Plan prioritizes our missing walkways based on an analysis that considers factors such as bus routes, proximity to schools, and crash history. Moving forward, pending the availability of funds, the City’s Complete Streets program will explore opportunities to construct walkways along these priority segments, either as stand-alone improvements or part of a periodic roadway and pavement rehabilitation projects.
