HOUSE RESOLUTION
urging the city and county of honolulu to construct a traffic light signal at the intersection of honowai and waipahu streets in waipahu to relieve traffic congestion.
WHEREAS, as Hawaii communities grow, it is important to maintain and upgrade traffic infrastructure for safety and the movement of people and goods; and
WHEREAS, a growing community such as Waipahu requires traffic infrastructure upgrades to help relieve traffic congestion in the area; and
WHEREAS, one of the traffic chokepoints in Waipahu is the intersection of Honowai and Waipahu Streets, which is a major traffic artery that feeds the growing community; and
WHEREAS, for some time, Waipahu residents have requested a traffic light signal at the intersection of Honowai and Waipahu Streets to relieve traffic congestion that, at times, can snarl more than ten cars during peak traffic hours; and
WHEREAS, Waipahu motorists traveling on Honowai Street have few alternative roadways to bypass that chokepoint and merge onto Waipahu Street, and those alternatives, Hene and Hoaeae Streets, are out-of-the-way and are routinely congested by traffic, too; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of
the Twenty-sixth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2011, that
the Department of Transportation Services of the City and County of Honolulu is
urged to fund and install a traffic light signal at the intersection of Honowai
and Waipahu Streets in Waipahu to relieve traffic congestion; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Resolution be
transmitted to the Director of Transportation Services of the City and County
of Honolulu; Director of Transportation; Chief of Police of the Honolulu Police
Department; and Chairperson of the Waipahu Neighborhood Board.
