Bill > HR32

This resolution requests the Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service to relocate the Pearl City Post Office to United States Navy property on the Pearl City Peninsula, addressing several pressing concerns with the current facility. The current post office, built in the 1970s, is experiencing significant challenges, including safety and traffic congestion issues at its entrance, a small lobby that can only accommodate six to ten people, limited postal box space, and an inability to handle the increasing volume of parcel post packages due to online shopping. The resolution highlights that the facility currently employs 75 mail carriers and staff with 75 vehicles, and is located at a increasingly busy intersection near recently developed shopping centers. By proposing to move the post office to a larger Navy property location across from Lehua Elementary School, the resolution aims to create a facility with expanded parking and improved infrastructure to better serve the growing community, especially with anticipated future transit-oriented development around the Honolulu rail system station. The resolution requests that certified copies be sent to the Postmaster General, the Commander of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, and the Governor of Hawaii.
