HOUSE RESOLUTION
URGING THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU'S DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SERVICES TO CREATE AND MAINTAIN A PRIORITY LIST OF SIDEWALK INSTALLATION AND IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND TO PUBLISH THE PRIORITY LIST ON THEIR RESPECTIVE WEBSITES AND FOR THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU'S DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SERVICES TO ELIMINATE THE ONE HOUR GRACE PERIOD FOR ANY VEHICLE PARKING IN KALIHI'S RESIDENTIAL RESTRICTED PARKING ZONE (RPZ) WITHOUT AN RPZ PLACARD BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 6:00PM TO 6:00AM..
WHEREAS, the legislature finds that
sidewalk networks are integral components of streets and roadways in Hawaii's
communities, where pedestrians need safety, comfort, accessibility, and
efficient mobility; and
WHEREAS, sidewalk networks increase
pedestrian safety by separating pedestrians from vehicle traffic and sidewalks
produce positive public health outcomes by encouraging walking, making
communities more accessible, and contributing to more sustainable communities
by decreasing dependence on motor vehicles; and
WHEREAS, the legislature finds that there
is significant disparity in the installation, maintenance, and improvement of
sidewalk networks, and there is also little to no transparent information about
the installation, repair, and maintenance of sidewalk networks available to
ordinary citizens; and
WHEREAS, this resolution is to urge the
State Department of Transportation and the City and County of Honolulu's
Department of Transportation Services to improve equitable access to safe
sidewalk networks by requiring the State Department of Transportation and the
City & County Honolulu's Department of Transportation Services to: 1)
Create and maintain a priority list of sidewalk installation and improvement
projects; and (2) publish the priority list on their respective websites; and
WHEREAS, this resolution urges the State
Department of Transportation and the City & County of Honolulu's Department
of Transportation Services to create and maintain a priority list of sidewalk
installation and improvement projects and to ensure the priority lists shall be
updated no less than once per year; and
WHEREAS, this resolution urges information
be placed online regarding the type, cost, and location of the projects on the
priority list, in establishing a priority list the State Department of
Transportation and the City & County of Honolulu's Department of
Transportation Services shall evaluate a project's cost, impact on pedestrian
safety, importance to a larger pedestrian network; and
WHEREAS, the priority list shall be
published on the respective website of the State Department of Transportation
and the City & County of Honolulu Department of Transportation Services;
now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of
Representatives of the Thirty-first Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular
Session of 2021, that the State Department of Transportation and the City and
County of Honolulu's Department of Transportation Services is urged to update
information and installation, repair, and maintenance on sidewalks and to
require the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Transportation Services
to amend their County Code on the Residential Restricted Parking Zone (RPZ) in
Kalihi, House District 28, to eliminate the one hour grace period for any
vehicle parking in an RPZ area and to ticket and tow any vehicle in violation
of parking without an RPZ placard in the RPZ; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified
copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Director of the State
Department of Transportation, the Director of the City and County of Honolulu's
Director of Transportation and the State House of Representative of District
28.
