HI HCR112

Urges the Honolulu City Council to adopt a "pedestrian first" policy via ordinance that establishes pedestrians as the highest modal priority in street decision-making.

Cites the Oahu Pedestrian Plan finalized by the Department of Transportation Services in July 2022 as a long-term action plan for creating safe and accessible streets.

Notes that high-risk pedestrian areas comprise just 2 percent of Honolulu streets but account for 60 percent of pedestrian fatalities and 42 percent of injuries.

Defines the Pedestrian Priority Network as streets and off-street paths that provide important connections to transit, schools, employment centers, and other major destinations.

Requires certified copies be transmitted to the Mayor, Managing Director, all Honolulu City Council members, and the Director of the Department of Transportation Services.
