HCR 112 Hawaii House · 2025 Regular Session

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

HCR 112 is a non-binding formal request urging the Honolulu City Council to adopt a "pedestrian first" policy through city ordinance. It directs the City Council to prioritize pedestrian safety in transportation decisions, referencing Honolulu's existing Oahu Pedestrian Plan and data showing high-risk areas cause 60% of pedestrian fatalities. The resolution does not create new laws but asks the city to formally adopt this policy framework for street planning. It specifically addresses the City and County of Honolulu's Department of Transportation Services and City Council members.
