RE: H.B. No. 1152
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.B. No. 1152 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO TRAFFIC,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to begin the process of addressing traffic congestion for Central Oahu. This bill requires:
(1) The Department of Transportation (DOT) to perform a comprehensive review of recent traffic studies conducted on the Central Oahu corridor; and
(2) DOT to submit a written report of findings and recommendations from this review to improve traffic flow in Central Oahu.
The Mililani Neighborhood Board No. 25 testified in support of this bill. DOT supported the intent of the measure.
Your Committee finds that traffic congestion is a serious issue, especially for the citizens of Central Oahu. A comprehensive approach needs to be taken to improve traffic congestion for Central Oahu and this measure is a first step in achieving this goal.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1152 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
|
