REQUESTING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO TRANSFER ITS AUTHORITY TO CONSTRUCT A MAKAKILO DRIVE EXTENSION TO THE STATE.

HCR 14 is a House Concurrent Resolution requesting the City and County of Honolulu transfer its authority to construct the Makakilo Drive extension to the State of Hawaii. It directly affects the City's planning and construction control for this specific project, which aims to create a second route out of the Makakilo neighborhood. The resolution cites safety concerns, including limited evacuation options highlighted by the 2023 Maui wildfires, traffic congestion, and delayed progress on the decades-old project. The request seeks to shift responsibility for building the extension to the State's Department of Transportation.
