Bill > SR127

This Resolution urges the Department of Transportation to name the Mokulele Bike Path after former State Representative Joseph "Joey" W. Bertram III, recognizing his significant contributions to the development of the Maui Veterans Highway bike route and his broader advocacy for greenways, open spaces, bikeways, and improved public transportation. Representative Bertram, who served District 11 in South Maui and passed away in 2020, was a dedicated community leader and founder of Public Access Trails Hawaii-Maui, actively involved in various organizations and championing diverse causes. The resolution specifically highlights his instrumental role in the creation of the Maui Veterans Highway bike route and the Kihei Greenway/South Maui Bike Path, a project that has been in development since the 1985 Kihei-Makena Community Plan and is currently progressing through further phases.
