STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3685

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.C.R. No. 262

H.D. 1

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 262, H.D. 1, entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SERVICES OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO INSTALL A LIGHTED CROSSWALK ON KAMEHAMEHA HIGHWAY IN KANEOHE, OAHU, AT THE CROSSWALK BETWEEN LILIPUNA ROAD AND MEHANA STREET AND TO ESTABLISH A MARKED CROSSWALK ON KEOLU DRIVE NEAR KAELEPULU ELEMENTARY SCHOOL,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the City and County of Honolulu Department of Transportation Services to install a lighted crosswalk on Kamehameha Highway in Kaneohe between Lilipuna Road and Mehana Street, and to establish a marked crosswalk on Keolu Drive near Kaelepulu Elementary School.

One individual submitted testimony in support of this measure.

Accidents and near-misses are frequently reported to occur on the segment of Kamehameha Highway between Lilipuna Road and Mehana Street. Although a marked crosswalk exists in that location, it is difficult to see pedestrians. Also, pedestrians, including students, do not have a marked crosswalk on Keolu Drive near Kaelepulu Elementary School. Your Committee finds that a lighted crosswalk between Lilipuna Road and Mehana Street and a marked crosswalk on Keolu Drive near Kaelepulu Elementary School would improve public safety.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 262, H.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Intergovernmental Affairs,
