Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, certain highway routes and bridges have been designated and marked to memorialize, commemorate, or recognize certain individuals, groups, or events. This bill directs the Department of Transportation (DOT) to designate and mark a portion of the route of I 43 within the city of Milwaukee as the "Jeannetta Simpson-Robinson Memorial Highway" in recognition and appreciation of the good works of Jeannetta Simpson-Robinson, a lifelong community leader and activist, who championed the poor, the disadvantaged, children, and peaceful non-violent resolutions to conflicts.
