HI HR89

Requests the Department of Transportation construct a westbound zipper lane on the H-1 freeway for weekday use between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

Notes that West Oahu neighborhoods of Makakilo, Kapolei, and Ewa grew by more than 30 percent between 2010 and 2020, contributing to significant afternoon westbound traffic congestion.

References an existing eastbound high occupancy vehicle zipper lane operating weekdays from 5:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. as a model for congestion relief.

Identifies the lack of a westbound zipper lane as a burden on West Oahu residents commuting home in afternoons.

Directs transmission of a certified copy of the resolution to the Director of Transportation.
