Bill > HR173

This resolution encourages the City and County of Honolulu to establish a summer streets pilot program, which would temporarily transform urban streets and public spaces to prioritize pedestrians, bicyclists, and alternative modes of transportation beyond motorized vehicles. The resolution highlights the benefits of such a program, including enhancing community life, promoting safe recreational opportunities, supporting active transportation, and fostering cultural engagement. By creating these temporary street transformations, the program aims to increase public participation, encourage physical activity, support local businesses, and align with the state's goals of reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable transportation. The resolution specifically calls for implementing the pilot program in Honolulu's urban core and other interested neighborhoods, and requests that copies of the resolution be sent to the Mayor, City Council members, the Neighborhood Commission Office, and Neighborhood Board chairpersons to facilitate its implementation.
