TWENTY-SECOND LEGISLATURE, 2003

 

STATE OF HAWAII

 


 

A BILL FOR AN ACT

 

making an appropriation for the establishment of a contraflow lane on farrington highway along the waianae coast from mohihi street to piliokahi avenue.

 

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that traffic congestion along the Waianae Coast continues to worsen as the population on the Leeward side of Oahu continues to grow. With only one route in and out of the area and an increasing number of traffic signals along the way, frustrated motorists, most particularly morning and evening commuters, inevitably find themselves caught in a daily traffic jam. The legislature finds that traffic flow along the Waianae Coast would improve if a third lane of traffic were created with traffic cones along Farrington Highway in the appropriate direction during morning and evening rush hours.

The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds to establish a contraflow lane on Farrington Highway along the Waianae Coast from Mohihi Street to Piliokahi Avenue to alleviate morning and evening rush hour traffic.

SECTION 2. There is appropriated out of the general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $ , or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2003-2004, and the same sum, or so much thereof as may be necessary for fiscal year 2004-2005, for establishment of a contraflow lane on Farrington Highway along the Waianae Coast from Mohihi Street to Piliokahi Avenue during morning and evening rush hours.

SECTION 3. The sums appropriated shall be expended by the department of transportation for the purposes of this Act.

SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2003.
