TWENTY-THIRD LEGISLATURE, 2005

 

STATE OF HAWAII

 
   


HOUSE CONCURRENT

RESOLUTION

 

Requesting the Hawaii State Department of transportation resurface Kalanianaole Highway between interstate h1 and Lunalilo home road.

 

 

WHEREAS, the last resurfacing work on Kalanianaole Highway was performed in 2002; and

WHEREAS, this resurfacing work was only conducted between Ainakoa Avenue and West Hind Drive; and

WHEREAS, the potholes on the highway will continue to persist if they are merely patched; and

WHEREAS, patching is just a temporary solution to solving the persisting problem of potholes; and

WHEREAS, in order to make the Kalanianaole Highway, the only major thoroughfare connecting heavily populated East Honolulu with downtown Honolulu and points west, free of potholes it is necessary for the road to be completely resurfaced; and

WHEREAS, a complete resurfacing of the highway would insure a safe and smooth commute for those who must use the highway; and

WHEREAS, a complete resurfacing of the highway between the H1 freeway and Lunalilo Home Road would not require the continuous refilling of potholes in the near future to insure motorists do not damage their cars or become involved in a related accident; and

WHEREAS, a complete resurfacing of Kalanianaole Highway is necessary to prevent any further deterioration of the road and driving conditions; and

WHEREAS, a resurfacing of Kalanianaole Highway needs to be conducted in order for the highway to handle, in the long term, the heavy traffic of East Honolulu which will only increase as new residents will continue to populate the area as time passes; now, therefore,

BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-third Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2005, the Senate concurring, that the legislature requests the Hawaii State Department of Transportation to completely resurface Kalanianaole Highway between Interstate H1 and Lunalilo Home Road; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the director of the Department of Transportation.
