Bill > HCR167

This concurrent resolution urges the State Department of Transportation and the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Transportation Services to address road safety and traffic flow concerns in the Hawaii Kai area. Specifically, the resolution calls for installing crosswalks in Kalama Valley, particularly near the Kalama Valley Community Park and at the intersection of Hawaii Kai Drive and Kealahou Street, where a recent study found that 71% of drivers failed to yield to pedestrians. The resolution also requests a comprehensive study of traffic calming measures to reduce speeding in Hawaii Kai and recommends exploring changes to traffic signal timing, such as implementing flashing yellow turn signals during low-traffic hours on Kalaniana'ole Highway to improve traffic flow and driver discretion. The document highlights the dangerous pedestrian environment in the area, with numerous streets lacking crosswalks and experiencing frequent speeding, and aims to prompt action from local transportation authorities to improve safety and traffic management in the Hawaii Kai community.
