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

SCR 177 is a symbolic Senate Concurrent Resolution urging the Honolulu City Council to adopt a "pedestrian first" policy through a city ordinance. It references Honolulu's Oahu Pedestrian Plan and highlights that high-risk pedestrian areas (just 2% of streets) account for 60% of pedestrian fatalities, stressing the need for safer infrastructure. The resolution does not create new state law but formally requests the city council prioritize pedestrian safety in street design decisions. It directs certified copies to city officials, including the mayor and transportation department, but has no binding legal effect.
