Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Regular Session of 2017

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.B. No. 1305 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRANSPORTATION,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to alleviate congestion on the H-1 freeway in the westbound direction for drivers traveling in Leeward Oahu from Kunia to Kualakai Parkway during peak hours by appropriating funds for the construction of a shoulder lane in the westbound direction between the Kunia/Waipahu/Ewa (Exit 5) off-ramp and the Kualakai Parkway on-ramp.

 

     Two concerned individuals supported this measure.  The Department of Transportation supported the intent of this measure.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Changing its effective date to July 1, 2050, to encourage further discussion; and

 

     (2)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1305, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1305, H.D. 1, and be referred to your Committee on Finance.

 

 

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