Important Legislation being considered at City Council

There will be two resolutions coming before City Council Committees on Thursday, January 25, 2018.   Would appreciate it if you could submit written testimony in support or come to Honolulu Hale to give live testimony--or just be there for a show of support.  These are two very important resolutions. One will be heard in committee at 1:00, the other starting at 2:30 p.m.

1. Resolution 18-001 – Complete Streets Restriping.  Urging the City Administration to maximize the incorporation of Complete Streets restriping into ongoing repaving projects in order to benefit all users of its transportation system.  This will be heard in the Committee on Transportation on Thursday, Jan 25^th at 1:00 p.m. at Honolulu Hale.  This resolution helps support our Blue Zones initiative to make our streets safer for pedestrians and bicyclists.
