Bill > HR119

This 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. A Restricted Parking Zone is a method of managing public on-street non-metered parking spaces through permits and signage, typically used in residential areas experiencing significant parking demand from non-residents. The resolution highlights the success of a previous RPZ Pilot Program in Kalihi Valley, which resulted in an 86% decrease in non-residential on-street parking and a 70% increase in available parking spaces. The targeted neighborhoods are experiencing similar issues to Kalihi Valley before its pilot program, including problems with trash, people sleeping in cars, loitering, abandoned vehicles, and parking difficulties. The resolution seeks to address these challenges by implementing an RPZ, which can potentially increase parking access for residents and visitors, improve pedestrian safety, reduce traffic congestion, and mitigate environmental and social nuisances. The resolution also calls for transmitting certified copies to the Mayor of Honolulu, the Director of Transportation Services, and the Honolulu City Council representative for District 1.
