DATE: March 8, 2012 Re: Comm. No. 584/13ill No. 191

Your Committee on Public Works and Parks and Recreation, to which was referred Bill 191,
reports as follows:
Bill 191, amends Chapter 24, Article 8, Division 3, Section 24-212. (Parking in bus stops
and road taxi stands prohibited), subsections (c) and (d), by adding new paragraphs (c)
and (f) and renumbered as required: "(c) When the provisions of this section are not in
effect, vehicles may park in bus stops unless otherwise prohibited by this chapter." and
"(f) When the provisions of this section are not in effect, vehicles may park in road taxi
stands unless otherwise prohibited by this chapter." These amendments are necessary to
provide more parking in heavily used areas such as Alii Drive and Downtown Hilo by
allowing parking within bus stops and road taxi stands when bus stops and road taxi
stands are not in effect.
Your Committee discussed that proper signage is necessary to avoid confusion.
Your Committee on Public Works and Parks and Recreation is in accord with the purpose and
intent of Bill 191, and recommends its passage on first reading.
