COM. REP. NO. 2214
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2023
RE: S.C.R. No. 193
S.D. 1
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 193, S.D. 1, entitled:
"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO RELOCATE THE BUS TURNAROUND OFF MAKAU STREET TO KEAAU BEACH PARK OR THE SURROUNDING AREA,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from numerous individuals.
Your Committee finds that Makau Street is located in a residentially zoned neighborhood in Waianae, Oahu, situated between the world famous Makaha Beach Park to the south and Keaau Beach Park to the north. Currently two public bus routes that service the area pass through Makau Street, a narrow, unmarked two-way street encompassed by curbside parking on both sides, which can require pedestrians to enter the street to bypass parked cars. Your Committee further finds that in addition to near accidents from speeding buses, Makau Street experienced approximately thirteen water main breaks. Your Committee therefore finds that this measure seeks to address safety and infrastructure concerns near Makau Street and alleviate ongoing issues in the area.
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 S.C.R. No. 193, S.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
