YouTube Description
as posted by the channelShould legislators pass a bill to close streets for car-free fun zones across Hawaiʻi, or is this too much of a disruption?
To reduce carbon emissions, encourage sustainable transportation and promote community health, counties could be required to pilot a “Summer Streets” program, closing select roads to traffic and repurposing them for pedestrians and bicyclists.
House Bill 1260 would direct counties to close select roads for a few hours each week during the summer.
Similar programs in other states have used the repurposed space to host vendors, stage performers, children’s play equipment and sometimes just extra recreation areas for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Groups like the Hawaiʻi Bicycling League, Hawaiʻi Public Health Institute and Hawaiʻi Appleseed Center for Law and Economic Justice support the idea in Hawaiʻi.
