RE: H.R. No. 43
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.R.
No. 43 entitled:
“HOUSE RESOLUTION URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO
WORK WITH THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO PLAN AND
IMPLEMENT OPTIONS FOR ALTERNATIVE INGRESS AND EGRESS ROUTES
IN PACIFIC PALISADES,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to urge the Department of
Transportation to work with the City and County of Honolulu to
plan and implement options for alternative ingress and egress
routes in Pacific Palisades.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Pearl City Neighborhood Board No. 21 and one individual.
Your Committee finds that best practices for emergency
preparedness require a community possess more than one evacuation
route, as a single ingress and egress route may prevent emergency
vehicles from responding to an emergency in a timely fashion.
Your Committee further finds that Komo Mai Drive, a steep and
winding one—lane road, is the only ingress and egress from Pacific
Palisades, which could leave residents of Pacific Palisades
trapped should Komo Mai Drive be obstructed during an emergency or
natural disaster. This measure is intended to increase public

safety by identifying alternative access routes for Pacific
Palisades.

Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 43 and
recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on
behalf of the members of the
