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

This Senate Resolution urges Honolulu's City Council to adopt a "pedestrian first" policy through an ordinance, referencing the city's existing Oahu Pedestrian Plan and data showing high-risk pedestrian areas account for most walking-related fatalities. It does not create new law but recommends prioritizing pedestrian safety in street design decisions. The resolution specifically highlights the need for infrastructure improvements in areas with high pedestrian accident rates. As a procedural resolution, it is non-binding and serves only as a recommendation to the City Council.
