Two bills have been introduced by state Senator Clayton Hee to help ease traffic and beach erosion problems on the North Shore of Oahu. The first bill that Senator Hee is proposing would move a section of Kamehameha Highway from Laniakea to Chun's Reef further mauka (closer to the mountains). Hee is also suggesting that the state should create a wayside park on the makai (ocean) side of that portion of the highway. Hee stated, "Right now, nobody's talked about a park, it's always been, ‘Move the highway. But it's been over a decade, so we're trying to spur the discussion and accomplish two things at the same time — the creation of the park and the movement of the highway mauka."
The second bill that Senator Hee introduced would have the University of Hawaii's Sea Grant College Program create a North Shore beach management plan for the North Shore of Oahu. Hee commented that this bill was prompted after high surf threatened several houses on the Rocky Point neighborhood. Hee added, "It's important that legislators hear from the community and part of this is to mobilize the community to be a part of the solution as opposed to wondering what government solutions might exist."
