Proactive Solutions Committee Minutes
Wednesday, January 21, 2026
Members present:
Chris Moylan, Chair
Dave Nagaji, Vice-Chair
Citizens present:
Tom Heinrich
The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m. outside the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, 2754 Woodlawn Drive, on January 21st.
Traffic circle. Chris summarized the changes made to the draft resolution based on additional research. Those changes included modifying the resolution to request the Council to consider the project, calling it a roundabout instead of a traffic circle, and responding to questions and comments at the previous Board meeting about whether roundabouts work (they do, despite usual public apprehension) and trees. The document will be placed on the February Board agenda.
Senate Bill 2397. Chris presented the finished resolution supporting Senator Fukunaga’s bill, which the Board will also consider in February. Dave pointed out that Representative Garrett was also working on a broader bill, HB 1529. Chris promised to collaborate with him on a resolution if desired.
Sidewalks. Dave and Tom requested that the resolution Chris is preparing on sidewalks focus on Lowrey Avenue, even though there are other streets where it is unsafe to walk. Chris agreed to do so.
Parking and its effect on traffic. Dave had not generated his draft on parking, so this remains an action item for next month.
Public right of way. Tom said that right now is a suitable time to be working on this concept, given a meeting that he had attended on January 7. Having worked this month on the two resolutions for the Board meeting, Chris had not written a draft resolution on this topic, so this is another action item for next month.
Undergrounding of utilities. Dave had agreed to work on this resolution, which remains a third action item for next month. He wants to confer further with Tom and with former member Jason DeMarco, who started the committee work. Tom said that in the past widening of University Avenue has also been discussed. According to Tom, a project to redo University Avenue had been started under former Mayor Harris in the early 2000s, but former Mayor Hannemann killed the project.
Action Items
• Chris to draft a resolution about use of the public right of way.
• Dave to draft a resolution on parking near UH.
• Chris to draft a resolution on sidewalks focusing on Lowrey Avenue.
• Dave to extend Jason DeMarco’s work on undergrounding of utilities on University Avenue.
The next meeting of the committee is planned for Wednesday, February 18 at 6:30 p.m. in the same location.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:16 p.m.
