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:

  • New roads and small block sizes, including internal street grid within stadium site and residential “green streets”
  • Salt Lake Boulevard realignment and conversion to two-way travel by the station, and new access points to local streets
  • Freeway off-ramp to provide direct access to stadium site
  • High-volume, potentially partially elevated pedestrian path from the station to stadium through center of a mixed-use block
  • Trail connection between the Pearl Harbor Historic Trail and Pearl Harbor Visitor Center
  • Pedestrian/bicycle paths along and over Hālawa Stream
  • Elevated crossing over Kamehameha Highway to better access the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center
  • Central bicycle parking facility adjacent to the station
  • Expansion of bicycle network, including lanes on Kalaloa, Kahuapaani, and Kaimakani Streets
  • District-wide parking strategy to reduce total amount of parking required

Parks & Open Space:

  • Makalapa Neighborhood Park with improved connections and amenities
  • Hālawa Stream landscape rehabilitation, clean-up, and new pedestrian trails to provide a natural connection to Pearl Harbor
  • Station plaza to serve as a gateway and event space
  • Pocket parks on underutilized parcels, including a remnant piece of road right-of-way near the station and Makalapa Neighborhood Park, and within development sites
  • Large, urban open space next to the stadium to serve as gathering and event space

Urban Form:

  • Series of gateways, including a main gateway at the station, expressed through a combination of signage and art, special landscape and lighting treatment, and/or the orientation and massing of buildings
  • Corridor streetscape treatment and amenities, including canopy shade trees, lighting, and outdoor furniture, with active street frontages
  • Activity nodes with interesting spaces or uses
  • Special treatment at certain intersections, such as enhanced pedestrian crossings, to reflect their relative importance
  • Preservation of important vistas and view corridors from publicly accessible spaces
  • Buildings oriented and massed to reinforce desired urban character and to establish a positive relationship between them and outdoor spaces
  • Consistent street walls, particularly to define a station-stadium connection with active uses along sidewalks and lining edges
  • Consideration of solar orientation, tower spacing, and views in building placement
  • Clear project identities through gateways, coordinated wayfinding and environmental graphics, unified palette of streetscape amenities, and compelling landscape character, as well as landmark buildings and civic art at strategic locations
  • Sustainable design measures, such as transit/pedestrian-oriented site layout, green building practices, and eco-sensitive landscapes
  • Less intense building heights and massing farther from the station

Land Use:

  • New stadium surrounded by mixed uses with entertainment focus, creating energy through both daytime and nighttime activities
  • Station-stadium gateway connection through center of an activated mixed-use core and lined with ground-floor retail
  • Hotel for military, business, and sports travelers
  • Office/institutional campus with athletic theme to provide natural synergies with the stadium and entertainment district
  • Street-level retail lining Salt Lake Boulevard (residential above) with an eclectic mix of stores and shopping opportunities
  • High-density residential mixed use near the station and at Puuwai Momi site
  • Medium-density, longer term development at Stadium Mall, Stadium Marketplace, and Aiea Elementary School sites
  • Cultural facilities, such as a sports hall of fame and museum showcasing Hawaiian leaders and innovators
  • Multi-functional open space fronting the stadium to serve as an outdoor amphitheater for multi-functional events
  • Subdistricts with own characteristics designated as Mixed-Use Core, Aloha Stadium, Institutional District, Gathering Place, Puuwai Momi District, Aiea Elementary School District, Salt Lake District, Richardson Field, and Parking
