STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1859

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2023

RE: H.R. No. 36

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2023

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.R. No. 36 entitled:

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO EVALUATE CERTAIN AIEA ROADWAYS AND IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT OF TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of Transportation to evaluate certain Aiea roadways and identify opportunities for improvement of traffic conditions and pedestrian safety.

Your Committee received comments on this measure from the Department of Transportation.

Your Committee finds that drivers who perform illegal U-turns at the intersection of Moanalua Road and Kaimakani Street, endanger oncoming traffic and pedestrian safety. While enforcement is one issue, there may be opportunities to find ways to improve traffic conditions in this area.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 36 and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,

____________________________
