URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, AND CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO IMPLEMENT VISIBILITY ENHANCEMENT MEASURES ON THE KUAHELANI AVENUE CROSSWALK AT KIPAPA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
This is a House Resolution (not a bill), urging three agencies to improve pedestrian safety at a specific crosswalk. It requests visibility enhancements - including warning signs before a curve, speed bumps with signage, and a solar-powered flashing crosswalk sign - for students at Kipapa Elementary School on Kuahelani Avenue in Mililani. The resolution cites existing safety risks like blind curves and parked vehicles, noting current crosswalk markings are insufficient. It does not create new law but formally asks the Department of Transportation, Department of Education, and City and County of Honolulu to implement these measures.

MODERATE
The document changed from a clean legislative bill text to a corrupted file containing both the original bill content and embedded metadata/technical data from a Microsoft Word document. The substantive legislative text remains identical, but the file now includes non-substantive metadata fields, timestamps, and formatting artifacts that were not part of the original bill.
