RE: S.R. No. 14
S.D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Energy and Intergovernmental Affairs, to
which was referred S.R. No. 14 entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE POSTMASTER GENERAL OF THE
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE TO RELOCATE THE PEARL CITY POST
OFFICE TO THE UNITED STATES NAVY PROPERTY ON THE PEARL CITY
PENINSULA,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the
Postmaster General of the United States Postal Service to build a
new and larger Pearl City Post Office at the United States Navy
property on the Pearl City Peninsula with a larger parking lot for
employees and customers.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Pearl City Neighborhood Board No. 21.
Your Committee finds that the Pearl City Post Office was
built in the 1970s at the northeast corner of Acacia Road and
Kamehameha Highway. According to testimony received by your
Committee, the Pearl City Neighborhood Board No. 21 has received
numerous complaints about the traffic congestion at that
intersection. Your Committee recognizes that there has been a
major increase in parcel post packages due to more residents
purchasing items online and notes the further increase in
residents due to expected future transit-oriented development.

This measure offers a solution to mitigate traffic congestion at
Acacia Road and Kamehameha Highway, alleviate the overcrowding of
packages stored at the Pearl City Post Office warehouse, and

City area.

(1) TXmending its title; and
(2) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the
purposes of clarity and consistency.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Energy and Intergovernmental Affairs that is attached
to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose
of S.R. No. 14, as amended herein, and recommends its adoption in
the form attached hereto as S.R. No. 14, S.D. 1.
