Bill > HCR123

This concurrent resolution requests the Department of Transportation Services of the City and County of Honolulu to implement a Restricted Parking Zone (RPZ) Pilot Program in the Ko'olina, Honokai Hale, Nanakuli, and Maili neighborhoods. The resolution highlights that an RPZ is a method of managing public on-street non-metered parking through permits and signage, which can be particularly useful in residential areas experiencing significant parking demand from non-residents. Drawing from a previous pilot program in Kalihi Valley that showed an 86% decrease in non-residential on-street parking and a 70% increase in available parking spaces, the resolution notes that these neighborhoods experience similar challenges such as trash, people sleeping in cars, loitering, abandoned vehicles, and parking difficulties. The resolution formally requests the implementation of the RPZ Pilot Program and directs that copies of the resolution be sent to the Mayor of Honolulu, the Director of Transportation Services, and the City Council member representing District 1. The goal is to improve parking access, pedestrian safety, and overall neighborhood quality of life through this strategic parking management approach.
