00:21:25 Margaret Murchie: Thomas Square is empty but for homeless. 00:22:11 MIchelle Matson: Where is Mother Waldron Park and Irwin Park at Aloha Tower?? 00:23:37 Margaret Murchie: The seawall connecting Makalei Park and the park further up towards Kahala has had a missing railing for months now. Very dangerous 00:25:37 Winston Welch: What is meant by micro-mobility? 00:26:43 Winston Welch: How would, for example, you make a “complete street” on Kapahulu when the street seems at capacity with vehicular traffic now 00:27:58 jeffrey merz: Are Honolulu and State Complete Streets programs complimentary/in sync island wide? 00:28:57 Margaret Murchie: Need lots more trees 00:29:18 Winston Welch: https://www.cpsc.gov/Newsroom/News-Releases/2021/Injuries-Using-E-Scooters-E-Bikes-and-Hoverboards-Jump-70-During-the-Past-Four-Years 00:30:06 Winston Welch: https://www.consumerreports.org/electric-scooters/safety-risks-of-riding-e-scooters-on-the-sidewalk-iihs-study/ 00:31:42 Margaret Murchie: Recommend state and county stop subsidizing public worker's parking in town. Give them all holo holo cards and walk the talk 00:32:28 Winston Welch: Troy shared the fact that our PUC already has a great shortage of park and open space. The strip parks mentioned will certainly not make up for the greatly increased numbers of people, so we will face even greater pressures….how can we actually deal with this? 00:36:38 Winston Welch: An article in the paper this week talks about a 1000+ unit building seeking huge zoning changes for heights and other variances. It seems that this PUC plan will dramatically increase the need for variances as neighborhoods become completely transformed. How difficult would it be for each address listed with the city to be sent a notice of the PUC proposed revisions to let individual property owners know of this? A post card would cost pennies, and given the massive increase in tax revenue per property, it hardly seems too much to ask the city to notify individual property owners of these proposed changes—can you please address this? 00:37:47 Winston Welch: On King Street, you also had MANY cross walks removed which were known problems. 00:38:59 Margaret Murchie: Be careful limiting on Ala Wai...it's the only street that really works 00:39:56 Winston Welch: 3 foot tree wells are known to be entirely insufficient and the city needs to look at larger tree wells with trees that will thrive in those areas. 00:40:40 Margaret Murchie: In Waikiki does the bike lane share with buslane? 00:42:07 Winston Welch: Will the comments in chat be saved with the recordings? 00:52:13 Winston Welch: What is the projected population increase in this plan in this entire area over the next several decades? 00:52:51 jeffrey merz: Can others join in this conversation with their comments? 00:54:07 Rafia Hasina: Solid side walk is important for pedestrians safety . 00:54:21 Margaret Murchie: Agree with Lucinda 00:55:05 jeffrey merz: Capacity involves ALL mobility needs, not just cars. 00:55:27 Renee Espiau: Ala Wai Boulevard Complete Streets Community Meeting information at https://www.honolulu.gov/completestreets/waikiki 00:55:35 Margaret Murchie: agree with Lucinda 00:55:59 Rafia Hasina: Agreed 00:58:29 MIchelle Matson: Please take the "MAHALO" slide off the screen so we can see the speakers !! 00:59:42 MIchelle Matson: AGREE with Lucinda !!! 01:01:45 Winston Welch: How have the protected scenic view planes been considered in this plan? 01:06:48 MIchelle Matson: Great question, Ellen! 01:14:53 Rafia Hasina: Fully agree with Lori 01:15:41 MIchelle Matson: Re. Winston's question - will the existing PUC-DP Map A-1 now be compromised re. significant view planes??? Casr in-point - Developers' "EXEMPTIONS" appear to be taking over any reasonalble panning for the future. See HSA headlines yesterday re. the 400-ft. residential high-rise next to Kaimuki High S chool, Date Strfreet and the Diamonfd Head Special District !!! 01:16:13 Margaret Murchie: Big accident today on Waialae and 9th 01:16:17 Rafia Hasina: Thank you Lori . 01:16:26 MIchelle Matson: Sorry about the typos. 01:17:31 Rafia Hasina: Our neglected area .really we need safe side walk and . 01:17:52 Rafia Hasina: Thank you Reene 👍👍👍 01:18:43 Rafia Hasina: Our full support 01:20:11 Margaret Murchie: That proposed 1000+ building in Moilili is very worrisome. It's not affordable either 01:21:27 Margaret Murchie: The shiny new "rental building" that was allowed in Waikiki on Kuhio is charging above market rate rents. 01:25:11 Margaret Murchie: Real park dedication 01:26:12 MIchelle Matson: BRAVO Winston. 01:30:15 Winston Welch: Thank you all for your expertise and work 01:31:31 jeffrey merz: Thanks Consultants and City Professionals. You are doing a great job of outreach. Have to run. Keep up the good work. 01:32:39 Winston Welch: I also take the bus sometimes, but mostly I WALK around my neighborhood extensively daily. I drove less than 2200 miles last year, so I can understand the changes to my own neighborhood on a granular level and these proposed changes need to be discussed, understood and have acceptance. 01:33:27 Winston Welch: The streets ARE very dangerous as well for walkers, so anything we can do to create safer streets for pedestrians and bicyclists is most welcome and can be enacted sooner than later, and much more cheaply than other elements of this plan. 01:33:38 MIchelle Matson: Mahalo Ken. 01:34:39 Winston Welch: I offer and have offered to take different departments around Neighborhood Board 5 walking to see where issues are or might be with plans. DES, DPP, DPR, DDC, DFM….all of them are needed. 01:35:02 Winston Welch: Just concentrating on more main streets would be eye opening at the ground level. 01:36:42 Winston Welch: Renee, Meredith, Noelle, Dina….I’d welcome to have a few hours walking around one day along with some of your colleagues. People in each neighborhood have an exact sense of their neighborhoods, that, combined with your expertise in traffic laws, zoning, maintenance, etc would be powerfully good for each community in this plan and make residents feel like the city knows what it is doing 01:36:47 Ken Farm: I have seen alot of discretionary grants from our federal delegation emailed out. There needs to be cooperation between the policy board DOT and DTS 01:36:57 Winston Welch: And actually addressing resident concerns in a coherent manner 01:37:12 Ken Farm: To allow the MPO (for Oahu) more funding 01:40:25 Rafia Hasina: Thank you everyone. 01:40:46 Lori Yamada: thank you super much!!
