RE: S.C.R. No. 85

Honorable Scott K. Saiki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2024

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 85 entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO INSTALL SPEED BUMPS AND SPEED LIMIT SIGNAGE ON THE PORTION OF KAPOLEI PARKWAY BETWEEN KAPOLEI HIGH SCHOOL AND KAPOLEI MIDDLE SCHOOL,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to urge the Department of Transportation to install speed bumps and speed limit signage on the portion of Kapolei Parkway between Kapolei High School and Kapolei Middle School.

Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation and Kapolei Makakilo Neighborhood Board. Your Committee received comments on this measure from one individual.

Your Committee finds that speeding is often a major contributing factor in motor vehicle accidents and traffic fatalities. Portions of Kapolei Parkway have experienced a number of such accidents and fatalities that frequently involved speeding. Your Committee further finds that the installation of road safety measures such as speed bumps and speed limit signs may help reduce the number of speeding vehicles and improve pedestrian safety in Kapolei.

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 S.C.R. No. 85 and recommends its adoption.

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