STAND. COM. REP. NO.  1345-12

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                , 2012

 

RE:   H.R. No. 86

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.R. No. 86 entitled:

 

"HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO EXTEND THE HOURS DURING WHICH PARKING IS PROHIBITED ON ISENBERG STREET,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to request that the City and County of Honolulu extend the hours during which parking is prohibited along a portion of Isenberg Street for an additional thirty minutes.

 

     One individual testified in support.

 

     Parking is currently prohibited on an Ewa portion of Isenberg Street near King Street during the hours of 3:30pm and 5:30pm to allow for two lanes of traffic, the left lane waiting for oncoming traffic to pass before turning left unto King Street. Much of the traffic on Isenberg Street originates from the Bingham Street exit off the H-1 Freeway and remains heavy after 5:30pm. Extending the time that vehicles are prohibited from parking would alleviate traffic congestion after 5:30pm.  

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 86 and recommends its adoption.

 

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