RE: H.R. No. 48
Honorable Nadine K. Nakamura
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2025
State of Hawaii
Madame:
Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred H.R.
No. 48 entitled:
‘~HOUSE RESOLUTION URGING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO
WORK WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO CONSTRUCT A SIDEWALK FOR PEDESTRIAN
SAFETY WHILE TRAVELING BETWEEN IROQUOIS POINT AND EWA BEACH,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to urge the City and County of
Honolulu to work with stakeholders to construct a sidewalk for
pedestrian safety while traveling between Iroquois Point and Ewa
Beach.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from three individuals.
Your Committee finds that pedestrian safety between Iroquois
Point and Ewa Beach is a critical concern due to inadequate
infrastructure, including poor lighting, overgrown vegetation, and
the absence of sidewalks. These conditions pose significant risks
to pedestrians, particularly in an area where many community
stakeholders desire to improve the safety and walkability of the
neighborhood. This measure will enhance pedestrian safety and
prevent potential accidents in these areas.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your
