ENCOURAGING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO INITIATE A SUMMER STREETS PILOT PROGRAM.

This Senate Resolution encourages the City and County of Honolulu to create a temporary "Summer Streets" pilot program, where certain streets would be closed to cars during summer months to prioritize pedestrians, cyclists, and community activities. It directly urges Honolulu's mayor, city council, neighborhood boards, and local officials to explore implementing this in the urban core and participating neighborhoods. The resolution describes the program as a way to promote community engagement, active transportation, local business support, and environmental benefits through temporary street closures, without creating new legal requirements or funding.
