- 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

- 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
