HR 119 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

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, NĀNĀKULI, AND MAILI NEIGHBORHOODS.

This House Resolution requests the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Transportation Services to implement a restricted parking zone pilot program in the Ko'olina, Honokai Hale, Nānākuli, and Maili neighborhoods. It proposes using a permit-based system for on-street parking, similar to a successful 2017 pilot in Kalihi Valley that reduced non-resident parking by 86% and increased available spaces by 70%. The resolution cites specific issues in these neighborhoods, including trash, abandoned vehicles, and difficulty finding parking, as justification for the program. This is a procedural request to the city department, not a new law, and does not create binding requirements.
