AI Summary

  • Department of Transportation, in consultation with the Board of Land and Natural Resources, is requested to support a study on restoring traditional water flow to Kalauhaihai Fishpond and Maunalua Bay
  • Study should address how to reduce damage to utilities, sewer infrastructure, and Kalanianaole Highway by returning water flow to the fishpond
