HOUSE RESOLUTION
URGING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU's DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SERVICES TO INSTALL CROSSWALKS IN KALAMA VALLEY.
WHEREAS, Hawaii Kai is a suburban community home to many local families; and WHEREAS, speeding is a recurring concern for Hawaii Kai's pedestrians; and WHEREAS, in a recent study by the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Transportation Services it was found that seventy-one per cent of drivers failed to yield for pedestrians at a busy intersection in Hawaii Kai; and WHEREAS, there are numerous highly trafficked areas in Kalama Valley which have never had crosswalks, making movement on foot a dangerous proposition; and WHEREAS, for example, streets surrounding Kalama Valley Community Park are often traversed by young athletes, though the lack of crosswalks makes crossing thoroughfares difficult and dangerous; and WHEREAS, the intersection of Hawaii Kai Drive and Kealahou Street is another location of concern in Kalama Valley, with frequent speeding and no crosswalks making this an unfriendly pedestrian environment; now, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Thirty-second Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2024, that the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Transportation Services is urged to install crosswalks in Kalama Valley, prioritizing areas around the Kalama Valley Community Park and at the intersection of Hawaii Kai Drive and Kealahou Street; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Resolution be transmitted to the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Transportation Services and the Honolulu City Council's District Four Councilmember.
