The public is invited to provide feedback Wednesday night on city efforts to improve safety along three of Oʻahu's highest crash corridors.
The City and County of Honolulu Department of Transportation Services (DTS) is hosting a meeting at 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 4 at Central Union Church, Parish Hall, according to a news release from DTS.
The meeting is the second in a series for the Honolulu Safer Streets project, which aims to prevent crashes along Oʻahu's highest crash corridors. The workshop will focus on Beretania Street, South King Street from Alapaʻi Street to Kapiʻolani Boulevard, and Young Street from Victoria Street to Punahou Street.
Beretania Street was the site of 94 crashes between 2015 to 2020, according to the city's Vision Zero Action Plan. South King Street had 148 crashes from Alapaʻi Street to University Avenue and Young Street had 34 crashes.
The public will have the opportunity to provide feedback on proposed roadway changes, including lane configuration, crosswalk safety enhancements, bus stop amenities, bicycle facilities, dedicated left-turn lanes and traffic signal adjustments, according to the news release. Planning efforts will continue through 2027. The Department of Facilities Maintenance plans to repave Beretania Street. Members of the public can also share their feedback to an interactive online map.
"Community feedback is an important part of understanding the needs of residents, commuters, businesses and other road users," transportation public information officer Travis Ota told ASD on Thursday. "Hearing directly from those who use these corridors will help our City's planning efforts and identify opportunities to improve safety, accessibility, and the overall travel experience for everyone."
