EnVision Downtown Hilo 2025 is a Community-Based Vision and Living Action Plan. A project begun in 2004, EDH2025 is a grassroots visioning process that inspired our community by guiding revitalization and future sustainability efforts in Downtown Hilo. Here is an excerpt from the Overarching Vision statement:

“Downtown Hilo in 2025 is synonymous with the spirit of Aloha, a community that celebrates its unique character, rich heritage, generational values, and vision for the future. Our hometown, Downtown Hilo, is a welcoming neighborhood like no other – a wonderful place to live, work, and play.”

Downtown Master Plan

In accordance with Action 6.1 of the EDH2025 Plan, which calls for the “development of a master plan to include traffic circulation, parking, and pedestrian streetscape,” the Planning Department worked with SSFM International Inc. to develop the Downtown Hilo Multimodal Master Plan

Hilo Bayfront Trails

Hilo Bayfront Trails is a three-phase project that will result in a comprehensive system of multi-use pathways along Hilo Bayfront from the Wailuku River to Hilo Harbor.
