COM. REP. NO. 1142
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2021
RE: H.R. No. 149
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-First State Legislature
Regular Session of 2021
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.R. No. 149 entitled:
"HOUSE RESOLUTION URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, MAYOR OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU, AND HONOLULU CITY COUNCIL TO REROUTE FARRINGTON HIGHWAY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE 1998 MAKAHA BEACH PARK MASTER PLAN,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee finds that Farrington Highway is the only transportation route to travel south in the Makaha area and the urgency to repair the Makaha Bridge has been a public safety concern for Waianae residents for many years. Your Committee further finds that in 1998 the City and County of Honolulu developed a master plan for Makaha Beach Park that proposed to reroute Farrington Highway further inland and away from the beach, as well as expanding the beach park with new picnic areas, fields, and restroom facilities, however, the 1998 Makaha Beach Park Master Plan was never executed due to a lack of funds. This measure seeks to have the 1998 Makaha Beach Park Master Plan followed with regard to rerouting Farrington Highway.
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.R. No. 149 and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,
