STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1775

Honolulu, Hawaii

RE: H.C.R. No. 97

S.D. 1

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2021

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 97, S.D. 1, entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE FORMATION OF A TASK FORCE ON NORTH ROAD MANAGEMENT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the convening of a North Road management task force to make recommendations on safety improvements for, and unified management of, North Road, in Ewa Beach on the island of Oahu.

Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation.

Your Committee finds that illegal dumping, homeless encampments, abandoned cars, poor maintenance, and safety issues plague North Road. Accordingly, your Committee believes that it is appropriate to convene a task force to address the management of, and safety issues associated with, North Road.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 97, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
