Bill > HR48

This resolution urges the City and County of Honolulu to collaborate with various stakeholders to construct a sidewalk between Iroquois Point and Ewa Beach, addressing significant pedestrian safety concerns. The resolution highlights the critical need for this infrastructure improvement by noting the current unsafe conditions, including lack of adequate lighting, dense bushes, and no existing sidewalks that put pedestrians and bicyclists at high risk of accidents. Recognizing the importance of this project, the resolution involves multiple stakeholders such as private property owners, the U.S. Navy, local government, and the Ewa Beach Country Club. The Hawaii Department of Transportation has previously acknowledged pedestrians and bicyclists as the most vulnerable roadway users, which underscores the urgency of this safety initiative. The resolution formally requests the construction of a sidewalk and directs certified copies of the resolution to be sent to key stakeholders including the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam Commander, Honolulu Mayor, City Councilmember, Transportation Services Director, and Ewa Beach Country Club General Manager, to ensure broad awareness and potential action on this pedestrian safety concern.
