STAND. COM. REP. NO.1408

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2003

RE: H.B. No. 1247

S.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2003

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 1247, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CONTRAFLOW LANE ON FARRINGTON HIGHWAY ALONG THE WAIANAE COAST FROM MOHIHI STREET TO PILIOKAHI AVENUE,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to appropriate funds for the Department of Transportation to establish a contraflow lane or other traffic easing measures on Farrington Highway during morning and evening rush hours.

Your Committee finds that population growth on the leeward side of Oahu has exacerbated traffic conditions along the two-lane Farrington Highway. This measure will enable the Department of Transportation to address commuter traffic concerns in congested areas along the Waianae Coast.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1247, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
