                   A  BILL  FOR  AN  ACT

MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF CREATING A
   LOOKOUT AT HO'OKIPA ON THE HANA HIGHWAY.



BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

 1      SECTION 1.  The legislature finds that the Ho'okipa area of
 
 2 the Hana highway on Maui is a very popular area for visitors who
 
 3 want to stop and enjoy its scenic beauty as well as residents
 
 4 participating in recreational activities such as windsurfing,
 
 5 body boarding, and surfing.  The legislature further finds that
 
 6 the congestion created by the increased traffic from both
 
 7 residents and visitors who stop in the area is hazardous because
 
 8 of the narrow shoulders along the highway and the lack of a rest
 
 9 stop or turn-in. 
 
10      The purpose of this Act is to provide funds to study the
 
11 feasibility of creating a Ho'okipa lookout and rest area for
 
12 persons wishing to view the scenery and recreational activities,
 
13 and thereby reduce hazardous traffic conditions and congestion. 
 
14      SECTION 2.  There is appropriated out of the general
 
15 revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $300,000, or so much
 
16 thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 1999-2000, to study
 
17 the feasibility of creating a lookout at Ho'okipa on the Hana
 
18 highway, Maui.
