RE: H.R. No. 97
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.R.
No. 97 entitled:
“HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION, IN COORDINATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION SERVICES OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU,
TO INSTALL SPEED BUMPS AND OTHER TRAFFIC CALMING STRUCTURES
ON ALA AOLANI STREET IN MOANALUA VALLEY AND OTHER SURROUNDING
STREETS DEEMED APPROPRIATE TO DETER SPEEDING,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request the Department of
Transportation, in coordination with the Department of
Transportation Services of the City and County of Honolulu, to
install speed bumps and other traffic calming structures on Ala
Aolani Street in Moanalua Valley and other surrounding streets
deemed appropriate to deter speeding.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Department of Transportation. Your Committee received
testimony in opposition to this measure from one individual.
Your Committee finds that Moanalua Valley is a residential
area that is home to several thousand residents and also includes
a golf course, neighborhood park, hiking trail, and nearby
entrance and exit to Interstate H-201. Ala Aolani Street is the
main roadway in the area and is utilized and shared by

pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers. Recently many people have
expressed concerns about speeding on this street. Your Committee
therefore finds that the installation of traffic calming methods
will help regulate speeding in this area.
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. 97 and
recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on
behalf of the members of the
