HR 11 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

URGING THE HAWAII HOUSING FINANCE AND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO EFFICIENTLY TRANSFER THE ROADS WITHIN THE VILLAGES OF KAPOLEI TO THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU.

This House Resolution urges the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation (HHFDC) to continue negotiations with the City and County of Honolulu to transfer maintenance of roads in Kapolei's Villages. The roads, built by the state in the 1990s without city permits, were rejected by Honolulu due to infrastructure standards, and HHFDC has since maintained them. The resolution emphasizes completing the transfer by December 31, 2025, following a prior agreement to upgrade roads (including sidewalks and utilities) and discussing funding. It directly affects HHFDC and Honolulu's government, focusing on resolving the road maintenance responsibility.
