WHEREAS, the City and County of Honolulu has been experiencing a steady increase in the number of residents and visitors over the past decade; and

WHEREAS, the Island of Oahu experienced a population growth rate of 6.6 percent from 2010 to 2020, the highest of all the counties, and, for the first time ever, its population reached over 1,000,000; and

WHEREAS, in 2019, the State experienced a record high number of visitors, reaching 10,400,000; and

WHEREAS, the existing infrastructure of the City and County of Honolulu is insufficient to support the increase of residents and visitors; and

WHEREAS, lack of parking and insufficient outdoor spaces for community activities in the City and County of Honolulu continue to be a problem for residents and visitors; and
