SCR 18 Hawaii Senate · 2025 Regular Session

REQUESTING THE POSTMASTER GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE TO BUILD A NEW AND LARGER PEARL CITY POST OFFICE AT THE UNITED STATES NAVY PROPERTY ON THE PEARL CITY PENINSULA WITH A LARGER PARKING LOT FOR EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMERS.

SCR 18 is a concurrent resolution requesting the U.S. Postal Service to build a new Pearl City Post Office on U.S. Navy property at the Pearl City Peninsula entrance (across from Lehua Elementary School). The current post office, located at Kamehameha Highway and Acacia Road, is overcrowded due to increased online package volume, limited parking, a small lobby (holding only 6-10 people), and safety concerns from traffic congestion. The resolution seeks a larger facility with expanded parking to accommodate 75+ employees, 75 mail carriers, and growing customer demand from recent commercial development and future transit-oriented growth. This request targets USPS and Navy property management, not a binding law.
