RE:   H.B. No. 1112

      H.D. 1

 

 

 

 

Honorable Joseph M. Souki

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1112, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HIGHWAYS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to improve the eastbound flow of traffic from Waipahu, Kunia, and Kapolei by requiring the Director of Transportation to implement certain traffic mitigation measures.

 

     A concerned individual submitted testimony in support of the measure.  The Department of the Attorney General and Department of Transportation submitted testimony in opposition to the measure.

 

     Your Committee finds that traffic congestion from West Oahu to East Oahu has consistently increased over time.  This measure would implement certain traffic mitigating measures for this area to ease congestion on the roadways.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1112, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Third Reading.

 

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