REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SERVICES OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO IMPLEMENT A RESTRICTED PARKING ZONE PILOT PROGRAM IN THE KO ʻOLINA, HONOKAI HALE, NANAKULI, AND MAILI NEIGHBORHOODS.

This bill requests Honolulu's Department of Transportation Services to create a temporary restricted parking zone pilot program in the Ko'olina, Honokai Hale, Nanakuli, and Maili neighborhoods. The program would use permits and signage to manage on-street parking, prioritizing residents and visitors while reducing non-resident parking. It directly affects residents and businesses in these areas, aiming to address issues like parking shortages, abandoned vehicles, and safety concerns (e.g., people sleeping in cars) that were successfully reduced in a similar 2017 Kalihi Valley pilot (86% fewer non-resident vehicles, 70% more available spaces). The resolution is non-binding and seeks to replicate proven results from a prior successful pilot.
