RE: S.C.R. No. 116
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
S.C.R. No. 116 entitled:
“SENATE CONCURRENT 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 two individuals.
Your Committee finds that best practices for emergency
preparedness require a community to 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

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 S.C.R. No. 116
and recommends its adoption.
Respectfully submitted on
behalf of the members of the
Committee on Transportati
