RESOLUTION
Urging the department of land and natural resources and the City and County of Honolulu to expedite construction for the expansion and improvement of the replacement wash-down stations at maunalua Bay.
WHEREAS, Maunalua Bay in Hawaii Kai on the island of Oahu is a favorite spot for canoe paddlers, boaters, kayakers, fishers, and picnickers; and
WHEREAS, Maunalua Bay once had four wash-down stations, located away from the vehicle traffic of the bay, where boaters could safely wash their boats and other belongings after returning from the ocean; and
WHEREAS, deterioration of the wash-down area pavement, and Department of Health regulations prohibiting water run-off from draining directly into the ocean, forced the State to relocate the wash-down stations to a different location at Maunalua Bay; and
WHEREAS, the new wash-down stations can only accommodate three boats and are configured so that usually only two boats can use the stations at one time; and
WHEREAS, the new wash-down stations lack proper lighting, are located in an area of high vehicle traffic, add to the traffic congestion of the bay and Hawaii Kai Drive, and are dangerous to use; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Land and Natural Resources is working toward expanding and improving the new wash-down stations, but is encountering difficulty due to some of the land for the proposed expansion area being owned by the City and County of Honolulu; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-seventh Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2014, the Senate concurring, that the Department of Land and Natural Resources and the City and County of Honolulu are urged to expedite construction for the expansion and improvement of the replacement wash-down stations at Maunalua Bay; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Chairperson of the Board of Land and Natural Resources and the Mayor and the Council Chairperson of the City and County of Honolulu.
