HI HCR43

Urges Honolulu Department of Transportation Services to install raised crosswalks at three intersections along Hihiwai Street: University Avenue, Lauiki Street, and Kamoku Street.

Addresses pedestrian safety concerns near Ala Wai Elementary School, Ala Wai Park, and ʻIolani School in a high-density residential area with heavy foot traffic from schoolchildren, kupuna, and families.

Notes the Lauiki Street intersection currently has only one stop sign and a painted crosswalk with no traffic control for vehicles on Hihiwai Street, creating vulnerability to speeding.

Raised crosswalks physically slow vehicles, improve pedestrian visibility, and align with Honolulu's Vision Zero goals to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries.

Requires certified copies be sent to the Mayor, District 5 Councilmember, Transportation Services Director, Honolulu Police Chief, and principals of Ala Wai Elementary and ʻIolani School.
