RESOLUTION
requesting the department of transportation services and the city and county of honolulu to CONSIDER buildING a bikeway corridor alongside the fixed guideway system and underneath the elevated sections.
WHEREAS, the City and County of Honolulu has recently determined a route for the planned fixed guideway mass transportation system; and
WHEREAS, the whole or parts of the system will be elevated and consequently there will be space available underneath the system for additional projects; and
WHEREAS, at the recent general election, the people of Hawaii overwhelmingly voted in favor of "Charter Question 8", requesting that one of the priorities of the Department of Transportation Services be to make Honolulu a bicycle-friendly city; and
WHEREAS, most areas of Oahu are not bicycle-friendly and using a bicycle is not a supported means of transportation; and
WHEREAS, it would be ideal to use the elevated sections underneath the fixed guideway mass transportation system to build additional bikeways and to use non-elevated sections to build additional bikeways running alongside the fixed guideway system; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-fourth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2007, the Senate concurring, that the Department of Transportation Services and the City and County of Honolulu are requested to consider planning the construction of bikeways underneath and alongside the route of the fixed guideway transportation system, and, as soon as feasible, to consider constructing the bikeways; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Mayor, the Chairperson of the Council, the Director of the Department of Transportation Services of the City and County of Honolulu, and the Governor.
