ENCOURAGING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO INITIATE A SUMMER STREETS PILOT PROGRAM.

HR 173 is a House Resolution (not a binding bill) encouraging Honolulu to create a temporary "Summer Streets" pilot program. It urges the City and County of Honolulu to temporarily close certain streets to cars during summer months, allowing safe space for pedestrians, cyclists, skateboarders, and community activities in urban areas and neighborhoods. The resolution cites benefits including promoting physical activity, supporting local businesses, reducing emissions, and aligning with Hawaii's sustainability goals. It does not fund or mandate the program, but formally asks Honolulu officials to consider implementing it. (H.R. 173, 2025 Hawaii Legislature)
