Right-of-Way Acquisition Status

Urban Design Guidelines Final HHCTCP (8.1.2011)

The coming of the Honolulu High-Capacity Transit Corridor Project (HHCTCP) to Honolulu represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture the community building and people moving benefits of this major investment in Honolulu's future. HHCTCP represents the largest new transportation infrastructure project on O'ahu since the construction of the Interstate Highway System. HHCTCP will provide an entirely new way to travel and experience the island. It will introduce numerous physical elements of engineered and architecturally designed transportation infrastructure.

underutilized.

Station Access and Modal Interface Report HHCTCP (8.1.2011)

The report documents the modal access and interface needs (i.e., needed connections between the Project and surrounding transportation and land use) of each of the 21 project stations, including estimated demand by mode and facility requirements. Information is based on the Final Environ-mental Impact Statement (EIS) and Record of Decision (ROD).

Stakeholder Input Report Land Use HHCTCP (8.1.2011)

The Honolulu High-Capacity Transit Corridor Project (Project) Stakeholder Input Report - Land Use provides an overview of interactions with private stakeholders, government agencies, and the community at large concerning each of the 21 stations along the project alignment. This report includes interactions that occurred from the Alternatives Analysis Phase in January 2006 through the Preliminary Engineering/Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Phase, ending at the Record of Decision on January 18, 2011.
Although stakeholder interaction has been continuous since 2006 for all aspects of the Project, this report specifically provides information about interactions related to land use around stations and station design.

Review of Current City and State Ordinances HHCTCP (8.1.2011)

The purpose of this report is to evaluate how current ordinances of the City

support or hinder the integration of the Honolulu High-Capacity Transit
Corridor Project (the Project) with local communities, including the potential
for future transit-oriented development (TOD) near stations.
