HI HR80

Request that the Hawaii Community Development Authority investigate the ownership of roads in the Kakaako Development District whose ownership is being challenged by private parties.

Private sector entities have claimed ownership of certain roads in Kakaako, resulting in restrictions on public parking, implementation of paid on-street parking, and the city's disclaimer of maintenance responsibilities.

Small businesses and residents have challenged these private ownership claims due to negative impacts on their operations and access.

The Hawaii Community Development Authority cannot properly act on development applications without making determinations regarding the ownership status of the roads in question.

Direct transmission of certified copies to the Director of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism and the Chairperson of the Hawaii Community Development Authority.
