HCR 58 Hawaii House · 2026 Regular Session

URGING THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, AND CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MILILANI ʻIKE ELEMENTARY STUDENTS USING SCHOOL CROSSWALKS.

This bill is a non-binding resolution urging the Department of Transportation, Department of Education, and City and County of Honolulu to improve safety at the crosswalk near Mililani ʻIke Elementary School where students cross Meheʻula Parkway and Kuaoʻa Street. The resolution requests specific safety measures including speed bumps, warning signage, and a solar-powered rapid flashing crosswalk sign to alert drivers of pedestrians. It cites concerns about high traffic volumes and previous near-miss incidents involving students in the area. As a concurrent resolution, it does not create new laws but formally asks state and local agencies to address the identified safety hazards.

MODERATE

HCR 58 was amended in the House (HD1) primarily to soften the operative language of the resolution. The directive 'should be' phrasing in each RESOLVED clause was replaced with 'is requested to be,' shifting the tone from a stronger recommendation to a more deferential request. Minor editorial corrections were also made throughout, including expanding 'U.S.' to 'United States' and changing 'per cent' to 'percent.'

REQUIREMENT

All operative RESOLVED clauses changed from 'should be implemented/constructed/installed/outfitted' to 'is requested to be implemented/constructed/installed/outfitted,' softening the resolution's tone from a recommendation to a request directed at the agencies.

TECHNICAL

Added the word 'that' before the urged actions in the first two RESOLVED clauses for grammatical clarity (e.g., 'the Senate concurring, that the Department of Transportation... are urged').

Expanded 'U.S. Department of Transportation' to 'United States Department of Transportation' and changed 'per cent' to 'percent' in the WHEREAS clauses.

Added a comma after 'in Hawaii' in the pedestrian fatalities WHEREAS clause for readability.

The 'OFFERED BY' signature block at the end of the resolution was removed, consistent with the House Draft 1 template format.
