Impact

The resolution, if enacted, serves as a recognition of the importance of biking routes and the role they play in urban planning and community well-being. By naming the Mokulele Bike Path after Bertram, the resolution aims to inspire future generations to appreciate and uphold the values of environmental stewardship and community service that Bertram exemplified during his lifetime. It also reinforces the partnership between state government and community advocacy groups focused on expanding greenways and biking infrastructure.

Summary

HCR141 is a House Concurrent Resolution urging the Hawaii Department of Transportation to name the Mokulele Bike Path in honor of former State Representative Joseph 'Joey' W. Bertram III. The resolution seeks to recognize and celebrate Bertram's significant contributions to the development of the Maui Veterans Highway bike route and his advocacy for improved public transportation and greenways. This tribute highlights the impact Bertram had in promoting biking and pedestrian pathways in the South Maui region, illustrating his commitment to enhancing community infrastructure.

Contention

While the resolution is largely symbolic, it can open discussions on the state’s ongoing commitment to developing cycling infrastructure and improving public space for residents and visitors alike. Notably, there may be contention regarding the prioritization of such symbolic measures in resource allocation versus addressing immediate infrastructural needs across the state. Nonetheless, honoring Bertram's legacy through this resolution stands as a testament to his vision for a more bicycle-friendly and sustainable Hawaii.
