The existing system of public thoroughfares, highways and streets is shown on the development plan land use map. Except for minor streets, planned improvements to this system are shown on the public facilities map. Planned improvements include exclusive right-of-way for at-grade and grade-separated public transit. The descriptions of the planned facilities are not to be interpreted as precise descriptions or exact locations, and the nature and location of these facility systems are to be interpreted flexibly to the degree necessary to ensure reasonable implementation. Pursuant to Charter § 6-1703 and HRS Chapter 91, the director of transportation services, with the assistance of the chief engineer, shall establish and maintain future right-of-way widths and setback lines for planned street and transit improvements shown on the public facilities map, as well as for planned improvements to minor streets.
“Major street” means a freeway, expressway, arterial, or collector street, whether publicly or privately owned, or both, which is primarily intended to serve through traffic or the circulation of traffic between different communities or portions of a community, or both. In the case of arterial and collector streets, access to abutting properties may also be permitted.
“Minor street” means a street which is primarily intended to provide access to abutting property and serve local traffic to and from these properties.
Bus routes may be established, modified, or withdrawn as required without amendment to the development plans.
The chief engineer, with the assistance of the director of transportation services, shall adopt standards governing roadways and right-of-way widths for new developments.
Street improvements shown on the development plan public facilities map shall be implemented in such a way as to effectuate a system of bikeways. The design of the system of bikeways is to be guided by Bike Plan Hawaii Master Plan, dated March, 1977, and the construction shall be implemented pursuant to bikeway standards to be established by the department of transportation services.
Vacant land beneath elevated highways may be zoned and used for other than highway purposes. Where rezoning is required, the selection of zoning district classifications shall be compatible with the uses permitted on abutting lands, as designated on the development plan land use map, and with the prevailing noise levels, air quality, and other related environmental conditions.
