Requesting The City And County Of Honolulu To Move Forward With A Pearl Harbor Historic Trail Pilot Demonstration Project And Enter Into A Long-term Agreement With The United States Navy, In Partnership With The City And County Of Honolulu And State Agencies, To Ensure The Revitalization Of The Multi-use Trail.

Impact

The resolution emphasizes the need for revitalization of the trail, noting current issues such as illegal occupation and dumping practices along parts of the path which run through state, federal, and private lands. By implementing the trail project, the community aims to address these safety and aesthetic concerns while promoting safe bicycle and pedestrian usage. The bill advocates for a strategic initiative to meet community needs, highlighting its potential to spur economic development by attracting visitors and enhancing local identity through historical preservation.

Summary

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 43 (SCR43) requests the City and County of Honolulu to initiate a pilot demonstration project for the Pearl Harbor Historic Trail. The proposed trail aims to stretch 18.6 miles from Halawa Landing to Nanakuli, connecting various neighborhoods, historic sites, recreational areas, and regional attractions along the route of the old Oahu Railway and Land Company. This effort is intended to enhance community access to the shoreline and provide greater recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike.

Contention

While SCR43 does not appear to face major opposition in its immediate proposals, there could be broader discussions regarding the use of federal partnerships, like with the US Navy, for local projects. Questions may arise regarding the management and oversight of the trail's long-term maintenance, and potential implications for land use rights, given that the trail runs across a mix of jurisdictional properties. The successful execution of this project hinges on effective collaboration among multiple governmental agencies, which has historically been a point of contention in public works and development initiatives in the region.
