COM. REP. NO. 2166-26
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2026
RE: S.C.R. No. 132
Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2026
State of Hawaii
Madame:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 132 entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO TAKE NECESSARY STEPS TO FINALIZE, PRIORITIZE, AND MATERIALIZE THE MAKAKILO DRIVE EXTENSION PROJECT,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to:
(1) Urge the City and County of Honolulu to take necessary steps to finalize, prioritize, and materialize the Makakilo Drive extension project; and
(2) Request the City and County
of Honolulu to submit a report to the Legislature prior to the Regular Session
of 2027.
Your Committee finds that managing traffic
congestion is essential to maintaining the quality of life in the growing
communities of west Oahu. However,
despite long-standing community advocacy and planning efforts, the Makakilo
Drive extension project has not materialized, leaving regional connectivity
needs unaddressed. This measure urges
the City and County of Honolulu to take all necessary steps to finalize,
prioritize, and complete this critical infrastructure project to alleviate
traffic congestion and improve access for the residents and communities of
Makakilo and 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. 132 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
