LELEPAUA (DANIEL K. INOUYE INTL. AIRPORT) STATION AREA

Highlights from the TOD Plan are listed below. See the TOD Plan for all proposals/recommendations and more details, including the implementation framework.
Connectivity & Circulation:
- Improved circulation within and around the station area to enhance pedestrian and bicycle access, vehicular safety, street connections, and wayfinding
- Koapaka Street connection to Rodgers Boulevard for all modes of transportation, allowing for better circulation between Paiea Street and the airport
- Shared multi-use path along the mauka side of Aolele Street
- Upgraded multi-use path in the Rodgers Boulevard median where pedestrian path currently exists
- New roadway connection between Ualena and Aolele Streets near Ohohia Street to provide a more direct link to the H-1 Freeway on-ramp, resulting in fewer vehicles circulating around the neighborhood
Parks & Open Space:
- Enhanced landscaping and street trees incorporated onto properties
- Plazas to activate new retail and mixed-use commercial developments
- Convenience retail and dining near the station in a park-like setting for open-air seating and respite in the heavily urbanized area
Urban Form:
- Building massing and density next to the station to remain relatively consistent with the station and surrounding parking structures, and urban form at ground level providing open space that conveys a Hawaiian sense of place and clear circulation patterns
- New mixed-use industrial buildings (may resemble the Airport Industrial Park building) to face adjacent streets
- Koapaka Street, instead of Nimitz Highway, as buildings’ front door
- Taller and higher density mixed-use commercial buildings along Paiea Street that are located closer to the street to facilitate ground floor plazas and an active pedestrian streetscape
Land Use:
- Dining, retail, hotels, lei stands, offices, and other mixed-use commercial options that cater to airport-related users in the immediate station area
- Mixed-industrial uses on the U.S. Post Office’s large parking lot
- Airport-related lodging, convenience retail, dining, and mixed-use commercial uses along Paiea Street
- Higher density industrial and commercial uses, including industrial facilities going vertical
- No sensitive receptor uses because of airport noise contours
