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 proposed trail aims to mitigate current issues where portions of the path have become neglected, often used by squatters and serving as dumping sites for vehicles and junk. By clearing and revitalizing the route, the project not only enhances community aesthetics and safety for pedestrians and cyclists but also creates opportunities for recreation and historic preservation, aligning with broader community needs.

Summary

Senate Resolution 37 (SR37) seeks to advance the Pearl Harbor Historic Trail project via a pilot demonstration initiative. The resolution requests the City and County of Honolulu to collaborate with the United States Navy and state agencies to facilitate the revitalization of this multi-use trail. Connecting Halawa Landing to Nanakuli, the proposed trail will link multiple neighborhoods with historic sites, parks, recreational areas, and nature along the old Oahu Railway and Land Company right-of-way.

Contention

While the resolution emphasizes economic revitalization and community well-being, there may be concerns regarding the funding and long-term commitment necessary for such a project. Potential contention could arise in terms of balancing development initiatives with historical preservation and community input, which would need to be prioritized in the execution of the proposed pilot project.
