Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 51 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request the Oahu Metropolitan Planning Organization (OMPO) to perform a study on the feasibility of an alternate route of ingress to and egress from the Mililani Mauka area.

The Department of Transportation testified in support of this measure. OMPO submitted comments.

The fast-growing community of Mililani Mauka is served by a single route of ingress and egress which results in traffic congestion during peak hours. With continued growth in the area and increased subdivision development, the number of automobiles is expected to increase in the very near future, only compounding the problem. Your Committee believes that a second access road to this community will help alleviate some of this congestion and that a feasibility study needs to be conducted to determine if this is the direction in which to proceed.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 51 and recommends its adoption.
