HONOLULU — Honolulu councilmembers are proposing measures to require the city to find parking alternatives for the spaces lost with the construction of bicycle lanes.
Hawaii News Now reported Monday that 184 on-street parking spaces have been removed as bikes lanes fill the spots in the city’s urban core. Another 70 spaces are expected to be gone by early next year as the city’s bike grid expands.
Councilwoman Carol Fukunaga has proposed a measure that would require the city to provide parking options where the spaces are being replaced with lanes.
Councilwoman Ann Kobayashi’s proposal would halt construction of the bike lane on Pensacola Street until a parking option is provided.
The council is expected to consider the proposals later this month.
