RE: H.R. No. 173
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. 173 entitled:
“HOUSE RESOLUTION ENCOURAGING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU
TO INITIATE A SUMMER STREETS PILOT PROGRAM,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to encourage the City and
County of Honolulu to initiate a Summer Streets Pilot Program.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Hawai’i Bicycling League and two individuals.
Your Committee finds that streets and public spaces can serve
multiple purposes beyond vehicle transportation, creating
opportunities for recreation, active mobility, and community
engagement. Summer streets programs have been successfully
implemented worldwide, promoting public participation, supporting
local businesses, and advancing environmental sustainability by
encouraging alternatives to car-centric transportation. This
measure aims to enhance public spaces and promote community well
being through the establishment of a Summer Streets Pilot Program
in the City and County of Honolulu.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your
2025—2934 HR173 HSCR HMSO
