Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 262 entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to enhance the safety of pedestrians by requesting the Department of Transportation (DOT) to install a lighted crosswalk on Kamehameha Highway in Kaneohe, Oahu, at the crosswalk between Lilipuna Road and Mehana Street.

A concerned individual testified in support of this concurrent resolution. DOT supported the intent of this measure.

Your Committee finds that pedestrian safety is of the utmost concern. Installation of a lighted crosswalk on Kamehameha Highway in Kaneohe, Oahu, at the crosswalk between Lilipuna Road and Mehana Street will increase pedestrian safety. However, your Committee finds that this area of Kamehameha Highway is under the jurisdiction of the City and County of Honolulu and not DOT. Your Committee also finds that children crossing Keolu Drive near Kaelepulu Elementary School do not have the benefit of having a marked crosswalk. Accordingly, your Committee has amended this measure by:

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. 262, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 262, H.D. 1.
