H.C.R. 112 Summary

• Requests the Department of Transportation's Highways Division to assess pedestrian safety dangers on Haleakala Highway between Upper Kimo Drive and Ainakula Road in Kula, Maui.

• Notes the Kula district population grew approximately 16% since 2010, with increased pedestrian traffic along the heavily trafficked highway corridor near Kula Lodge and Kula Marketplace.

• Identifies that pedestrians use a six-inch-wide shoulder as a walkway due to the lack of an official sidewalk or pedestrian path, despite cars frequently exceeding the 30 mph speed limit.

• Directs DOT to examine potential pedestrian safety countermeasures and submit findings, recommendations, and any proposed legislation to the Legislature no later than 20 days before the 2019 Regular Session convenes.
