Bill > SB833

This bill renames two features of the Heart of America Bridge in Kansas City, Missouri. Specifically, the bill designates the bridge itself as the "Sam Graves Heart of America Bridge" and also names the bi-directional pedestrian and bicycle path on the bridge as the "Bob Watts Memorial Bicycle & Pedestrian Bridge". The Missouri Department of Transportation is required to install and maintain new signage for both the bridge and the pedestrian path, with the costs of these signs to be covered by private donations. This bill appears to be a way of honoring local figures by memorializing their names on an important transportation infrastructure element that crosses the Missouri River. The bill modifies existing state law (specifically Section 227.503 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri) to effect these name changes.
