SR 14 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.

Senate Resolution 14 requests 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), replacing the current location. This would address safety concerns, traffic congestion, and overcrowding at the existing post office, which has limited parking, a small lobby, and insufficient space due to increased online package volume and nearby development. The resolution specifically asks for a larger facility with expanded parking for both employees and customers. (Note: This is a non-binding request to the USPS, not a law requiring construction.)
