HOUSE RESOLUTION
URGING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU's DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SERVICES TO INSTALL CROSSWALKS IN KALAMA VALLEY.
WHEREAS, Hawaii Kai is a suburban community
home to many local families; and
WHEREAS, speeding is a recurring concern
for Hawaii Kai's pedestrians; and
WHEREAS, in a recent study by the City and
County of Honolulu's Department of Transportation Services it was found that seventy-one
per cent of drivers failed to yield for pedestrians at a busy intersection in
Hawaii Kai; and
WHEREAS, there are numerous highly
trafficked areas in Kalama Valley which have never had crosswalks, making
movement on foot a dangerous proposition; and
WHEREAS, for example, streets surrounding
Kalama Valley Community Park are often traversed by young athletes, though the
lack of crosswalks makes crossing thoroughfares difficult and dangerous; and
WHEREAS, the intersection of Hawaii Kai
Drive and Kealahou Street is another location of concern in Kalama Valley, with
frequent speeding and no crosswalks making this an unfriendly pedestrian
environment; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of
Representatives of the Thirty-second Legislature of the State of Hawaii,
Regular Session of 2024, that the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Transportation
Services is urged to install crosswalks in Kalama Valley, prioritizing areas
around the Kalama Valley Community Park and at the intersection of Hawaii Kai
Drive and Kealahou Street; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified
copies of this Resolution be transmitted to the City and County of Honolulu's
Department of Transportation Services and the Honolulu City Council's District Four
Councilmember.
