A BILL FOR AN ACT

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that pedestrian safety is important to the health and well being of the community. The legislature further finds that the north side of Waipahu Street, specifically from Waipahu Depot Road to Awamoi Street and from Amokii Street to Waikele Road on Oahu, is heavily used by children, adults, and motor vehicles. In this area, however, a significant hazard exists for pedestrians, as either there is no existing sidewalk or the sidewalks are in desperate need of repair.

The purpose of this Act is to ensure that this area is safe for pedestrians.

SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $230,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2006-2007, as a grant-in-aid to the city and county of Honolulu for expenditures for the design and construction of a sidewalk on the north side of Waipahu Street from Waipahu Depot Road to Awamoi Street and from Amokii Street to Waikele Road.

SECTION 3. The sum appropriated shall be expended by the city and county of Honolulu for the purposes of this Act.

SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2006.
