Urging The Department Of Transportation Services Of The City And County Of Honolulu To Conduct A Feasibility Study Of Widening The Portion Of University Avenue Between Maile Way And Oahu Avenue.
Impact
This resolution aims to address existing traffic congestion and enhance safety for all road users in Manoa Valley. By proposing a feasibility study, the resolution takes a proactive approach to understanding the implications of widening University Avenue. Successful execution of the study could lead to changes in local traffic regulations, which may enable the city to implement solutions that specifically cater to the unique transportation challenges faced by the Manoa Valley community. If the study confirms the need for widening, it could result in subsequent legislative action to secure funding and implement the proposed project.
Summary
House Resolution 22 urges the Department of Transportation Services of the City and County of Honolulu to conduct a feasibility study concerning the widening of University Avenue between Maile Way and Oahu Avenue. The resolution highlights the high traffic volumes on this roadway, which is critical for the residents, businesses, and schools in Manoa Valley. The area is characterized by limited ingress and egress, which has raised significant safety concerns due to the mixing of bicycles, buses, firetrucks, and general traffic on a narrow road. With a considerable population and a high non-resident workforce, the need for improved traffic conditions is underscored.
Contention
Notable points of contention surrounding this resolution may include the potential impact on local businesses and resident concerns about increased traffic flow resulting from road widening. While proponents argue that improvements will create safer travel conditions and reduce congestion, opponents may raise issues regarding design impacts and community aesthetics. Additionally, discussions may arise about prioritizing pedestrian and cyclist safety in any new road designs, particularly given the high usage of University Avenue by both residents and visitors to local attractions.
