Request Department of Transportation to review, revise, and update comprehensive plans for Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), which served approximately 20 million travelers in 2019.

Updated plans should prepare for future pandemics, prioritize resident and visitor experience, establish Hawaii sense of place with open-air design and lush gardens, and incorporate modern green building standards aligned with sustainability goals.

Plans should address airport as cohesive whole potentially in phases to eliminate disjointed design, expand art exhibits and cultural storytelling, and explore revenue-generating modernization projects including entertainment experiences.

Department should involve in planning process architects and landscape designers with state significance, green building experts, educational programming specialists, and chairs of Senate and House Transportation Committees.

Certified copies of resolution to be transmitted to Governor and Director of Transportation.
