Liliha & Nuʻuanu
Project Overview
The goal of the Liliha/Nuʻuanu Complete Streets Solutions Project is to identify complete streets solutions to make the area more safe, inviting, and accommodating to all users. The project tasks include a transportation assessment, community engagement program, environmental review, and development of conceptual designs that will later be taken into full design and construction. The project team will review and incorporate information and ideas from prior studies and planning efforts into the draft designs, and present them to the community to get feedback at multiple stages during the process.
The Opportunity
Community input has been critical in the design process and in identifying solutions that balance the need of the neighborhood’s diverse users.
A variety of outreach activities have taken place for the project, including:
- Consultation with elected officials to identify key stakeholders and discuss community concerns.
- Formation of a stakeholder Advisory Group to provide input along the way and help get the word out to the community.
- Walking charrettes with the Advisory Group and representatives of community organizations.
- Meetings with schools, community organizations, and other key stakeholders in the project area to discuss issues, ideas, and solutions.
- Presentations to area Neighborhood Boards.
- Stakeholder meetings with businesses and condo/apartment associations in the area.
- Community wide meetings to share draft and revised concepts with the greater community and gather input.

Upcoming and Current Projects
Liliha Street
The Liliha-Nuʻuanu Complete Streets project is proceeding with Alternative 1 for Liliha Street (see plan below). Proposed improvements for Liliha Street include sidewalk and pedestrian crossing improvements, traffic calming, bicycle facilities, and landscaping. Project implementation is dependent on future funding availability and/or roadway repaving efforts. The image used is a concept rendering of completed safety improvements for the community.

Nuʻuanu Avenue
The plan for Nuʻuanu Avenue reflects the community’s need for sidewalk improvements, parking retention, and pedestrian and vehicular upgrades. The project is proceeding with Alternative 3 (see plan) and has been modified through the process to fit within budgetary and right-of-way constraints. The primary change is a focus on providing new sidewalks where they are currently missing, extremely narrow, or in poor condition, rather than reconstructing and widening them along the entire corridor. Consistent with Alternative 3, we are also providing pedestrian refuge islands, pedestrian crossing beacons, new curb ramps, curb extensions that shorten pedestrian crossing, additional street trees, traffic calming features, and more full-time parking by removing the peak-hour parking restriction mauka of Bates Street. Detailed roadway designs are currently under development.
