Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Intergovernmental Affairs and Transportation and Government Operations, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 86 entitled:

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the City and County of Honolulu to include an additional spur line to Mililani in its transportation plan for a light-rail transit system.

Castle & Cooke Hawaii submitted testimony in support of this measure.

As the testifier noted, Mililani is a major regional area that feeds into the heavily congested H-1 corridor. New construction and development in Mililani will increase volume on the highway and further exacerbate traffic. Your Committees find that an additional spur line would provide an alternative means of transportation for that region and would help alleviate the burden on the highway system.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Intergovernmental Affairs and Transportation and Government Operations that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 86, and recommend its adoption.
