RE: H.C.R. No. 123

Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura

Speaker, House of Representatives

Thirty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2025

State of Hawaii

Madame:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 123 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SERVICES OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO IMPLEMENT A RESTRICTED PARKING ZONE PILOT PROGRAM IN THE KO ʻOLINA, HONOKAI HALE, NĀNĀKULI, AND MAILI NEIGHBORHOODS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of Transportation Services of the City and County of Honolulu to implement a Restricted Parking Zone Pilot Program in the Ko ʻOlina, Honokai Hale, Nānākuli, and Maili neighborhoods.

Your Committee received testimony in opposition to this measure from one individual.

Your Committee finds that restricted parking zones are an effective tool for managing on-street parking in residential areas experiencing high demand from non-residents due to nearby traffic generators. The success of the Kalihi Valley Restricted Parking Zone Pilot Program demonstrated significant improvements in parking availability and reduced congestion and unauthorized parking.

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. 123 and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
