Bill > SCR182

This concurrent 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, skateboarders, and other non-motorized transportation modes. The resolution highlights the benefits of such programs, which have been implemented globally for over 50 years, including enhancing community life, promoting physical activity, supporting local businesses, and aligning with state environmental goals of reducing carbon emissions. Specifically, the resolution calls for the pilot program to be initiated in Honolulu's urban core and other interested neighborhoods, with the aim of creating safe, inclusive spaces for recreation and active transportation. 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.
