Bill > SR14

This resolution requests that the Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service construct a new, larger Pearl City Post Office on United States Navy property located at the Pearl City Peninsula, specifically across from Lehua Elementary School. The resolution highlights several key issues with the current post office, including safety and traffic congestion at its existing location, a small lobby that can only accommodate six to ten people at a time, limited parking, and insufficient space for postal operations. The proposed relocation is motivated by recent area developments, including big box stores and shopping centers, which have increased traffic and postal service demands. The post office currently employs seventy-five employees and manages seventy-five vehicles, and has experienced a significant increase in parcel post packages due to online shopping. Additionally, with expected future transit-oriented development around the Honolulu rail system station, the area is anticipated to see further population growth. By moving to a larger, less congested location, the resolution aims to improve public safety, alleviate traffic issues, and provide better postal services for the community. The resolution also requests that copies be sent to the Postmaster General, the Commander of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, and the Governor.
