RE: s.R. No. 56
s.D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2023
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Transportation and Culture and the Arts, to
which was referred S.R. No. 56 entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION TO CREATE A SECOND ACCESS POINT FROM WHITMORE
VILLAGE VIA SAIPAN ROAD TO KAMEHAMEHA HIGHWAY TO ALLEVIATE
TRAFFIC ON WHITMORE AVENUE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this
measure is to request the
Department of Transportation to create a second access point from
Whitmore Village via Saipan Road to Kamehameha Highway to
alleviate traffic on Whitmore Avenue.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this
measure from one individual.
Your Committee finds that the population of Whitmore Village
has increased by almost one thousand residents between 2000 and
2020. Further, Whitmore Village is also the site of the Naval
Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Pacific and
National Security Agency Hawaii, in addition to agricultural lands
that are being developed for food production. Despite the
increase of economic activity in the area, there is only one
ingress and egress from Whitmore Village to Kamehameha Highway,
creating traffic congestion within Whitmore Village. This measure

requests a multi-jurisdictional approach between state and federal
agencies to alleviate traffic congestion in Whitmore Village.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:

Area Master Station Pacific to assist the Department of
Transportation with the creation of an access road;
(2) Adding the Commanding Officer of the Naval Computer and

(3) 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 Transportation and Culture and the Arts that is
attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent
and purpose of S.R. No. 56, as amended herein, and recommends its
