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

This non-binding resolution encourages the City and County of Honolulu to create a temporary Summer Streets pilot program, closing certain streets to cars during summer months to prioritize pedestrians, cyclists, and community activities. It directly targets Honolulu’s Mayor, City Council, and neighborhood boards by urging them to implement the program in the urban core and other neighborhoods. The resolution cites benefits like promoting active transportation, supporting local businesses, and aligning with Hawaii’s environmental goals, but does not mandate or fund the program. It serves as a recommendation, not a law, with certified copies sent to relevant city officials for consideration.
