Mayor Peter Carlisle has called a 3 p.m. press conference to sign the “Complete Streets” bill that would set the stage for Honolulu to design its roadways for safer pedestrian and bike access.

The bill passed the Honolulu City Council earlier this month.

Carlisle will be flanked by council Transportation Chair Breene Harimoto and Transportation Services Director Wayne Yoshioka.

UPDATE: Carlisle signed the bill and put out a statement after the press conference. Here’s a quote from it:

Complete Streets recognizes that motorists are not the only ones who use public streets and facilities, so the needs of other transportation modes and users must be included.
