THIRTY-THIRD LEGISLATURE, 2026

STATE OF HAWAII

SENATE CONCURRENT

RESOLUTION

URGing the city and county of honolulu to take necessary
steps to finalize, prioritize, and materialize the makakilo drive extension
project
.

����
WHEREAS, the
continued population growth in the Makakilo and greater Kapolei area has led to
increased traffic congestion along existing access routes, particularly along Makakilo
Drive and Farrington Highway; and

����
WHEREAS, a
2009 environmental impact statement regarding potential avenues to relieve
traffic congestion found that an extension proposed as part of greater planning
for the Makakilo and Kapolei areas would not have significant adverse
environmental impacts to native flora and fauna, existing land use, historical
or cultural resources, and public services and facilities; and

����
WHEREAS, while
there has been long-standing advocacy from Makakilo residents and community
members who have, for many years, requested that the extension project be
completed, and despite various legislation proposed over the course of the last
decade, no extension project to address the increased traffic congestion has
materialized; and

����
WHEREAS, it is
a priority of the State to improve the regional connectivity between Makakilo,
Kapolei, and the surrounding West Oahu communities; now, therefore,

����
BE IT
RESOLVED by the Senate of the Thirty-third Legislature of the State of Hawaii,
Regular Session of 2026, the House of Representatives concurring, that the City
and County of Honolulu, including the Department of Transportation Services and
other appropriate agencies, is requested to take necessary steps to finalize,
prioritize, and materialize the Makakilo Drive Extension Project; and

����
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED that the City and County of Honolulu is encouraged to establish a
clear timeline for the project that includes planning updates, funding
identification, design, and construction phases; and

����
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED that the City and County of Honolulu is requested to submit a report,
including a status update and implementation timeline for the project, to the Legislature
no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the Regular Session of
2027
; and

����
BE IT FURTHER
RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the
Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu, Director of the Department of
Transportation Services of the City and County of Honolulu, and Chair of the
Honolulu City Council.
