HR 108 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

STRONGLY URGING THE HONOLULU CITY COUNCIL TO ADOPT A "PEDESTRIAN FIRST" POLICY VIA ORDINANCE.

This House Resolution (HR 108) is a non-binding urging to the Honolulu City Council to adopt a "pedestrian first" policy via ordinance. It cites that high-risk pedestrian areas (just 2% of streets) account for 60% of fatalities and 42% of injuries in Honolulu, and references the City's 2022 Oahu Pedestrian Plan. The resolution does not create new law but encourages the City Council to prioritize pedestrians in street design decisions, emphasizing safe connections to transit, schools, and commercial areas.
