URGING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO TAKE NECESSARY STEPS TO FINALIZE, PRIORITIZE, AND MATERIALIZE THE MAKAKILO DRIVE EXTENSION PROJECT.

This bill urges the City and County of Honolulu to finalize and prioritize the Makakilo Drive Extension Project to address growing traffic congestion in the Makakilo and Kapolei areas. It requests that city officials complete planning updates, secure funding, and move the project into the design and construction phases. The resolution asks the city to submit a progress report with a timeline to the Legislature by early 2027. This measure does not allocate funds or mandate action but serves as a formal request for the city to advance the project.
