Bill > HCR177

This concurrent resolution encourages the City and County of Honolulu to implement a summer streets pilot program, which would temporarily transform urban streets to prioritize pedestrians, bicyclists, and other non-motorized transportation modes. The resolution highlights the potential benefits of such a program, including enhanced community life, increased opportunities for recreation and active transportation, support for local businesses, and alignment with state environmental goals of reducing carbon emissions. Specifically, the resolution recommends initiating the pilot program in Honolulu's urban core and other interested neighborhoods, drawing on the global history of similar initiatives that have successfully reimagined public spaces for over fifty years. The resolution also directs that certified copies be sent to the Mayor of Honolulu, City Council members, the Neighborhood Commission Office, and Neighborhood Board chairs to ensure widespread communication and potential implementation of the proposed program.
