RE:   H.C.R. No. 201

 

 

 

 

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. 201 entitled:

 

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION AND DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OF THE COUNTY OF MAUI TO COLLABORATE WITH THE KIHEI COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION IN THE PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE KIHEI MAUKA ROAD PROJECT,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of Transportation and Department of Transportation of the County of Maui to collaborate with the Kihei Community Association in the planning and implementation of the Kihei Mauka Road Project.

 

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

 

     Your Committee finds that the rapid growth of Kihei has led to significant transportation challenges, including congestion and frequent road closures, affecting residents' daily lives.  This measure urges collaboration between agencies and stakeholders to provide an essential alternative route to improve traffic flow and community connectivity.

 

     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. 201 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.

 

 

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