Bill > HR125

This resolution requests the Department of Transportation, Department of Education, and Maui County Department of Public Works to collaborate on addressing traffic and pedestrian safety concerns around Haiku Elementary School. Recognizing the growing traffic congestion during school drop-off and pick-up times, the resolution calls for a comprehensive approach to improve safety and traffic flow. The agencies are specifically asked to assess current traffic patterns, explore infrastructure changes like additional signage and pedestrian crossings, develop plans to manage vehicle and pedestrian movement, review potential modifications to bus routes and parking areas, and consult with community members including parents and school officials. The Department of Transportation is further requested to submit a report with findings and recommendations to the Legislature before the 2026 Regular Session, detailing proposed solutions and potential legislative actions. The resolution emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts among key stakeholders to create a safer and more efficient traffic environment for students, families, and residents around the school.
