RE: S.R. No. 92
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Government Operations and Transportation
and Culture and the Arts, to which was referred S.R. No. 92
entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU
TO TRANSFER TO THE STATE THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU'S
AUTHORITY TO CONSTRUCT A MAKAKILO DRIVE EXTENSION,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the City
and County of Honolulu to transfer to the State its authority to
construct a Makakilo Drive extension to Kualakai Parkway.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Palehua Townhouse Association.
Your Committees find that although over twenty thousand
residents live in Makakilo in the City and County of Honolulu,
Makakilo Drive remains the only way into and out of the
residential area. Given the August 2023 Maui wildfire in Lahaina,
your Committees recognize the importance and necessity of
evacuation routes and access points in residential areas. This
measure promotes public safety and improves transportation in
Makakilo by facilitating the construction of an additional route
and access point for residents in the area.
Your Committees acknowledges that the City and County of
Honolulu (City and County) has been encountering design and

planning setbacks to address the limited access to and from the
Makakilo area for years. Accordingly, your Committees recommend
that the Department of Transportation and City and County examine
a cost-sharing model whereby the State would build the bridges and
the City and County would build the roads for the project.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Government Operations and Transportation and Culture
and the Arts that are attached to this report, your Committees
concur with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 92 and recommend
its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on
behalf of the members of the
Committees on Government
Operations and Transportation
and Culture and the Arts,
CHRIS LEE, Chair
