Pedestrian crosswalk or skybridge; conduct study to determine feasibility of constructing at MVSU.

HB 1061 requires Mississippi Valley State University (MV State), in collaboration with the Mississippi Department of Transportation and Leflore County officials, to conduct a study assessing the feasibility of building an elevated pedestrian crossing or skybridge at the U.S. Highway 82 and Sunflower Road intersection in Itta Bena. The study must evaluate funding sources, cost-benefit analysis, examples from other locations, community benefits, and potential constraints like highway expansion plans. It directly affects MV State students, faculty, staff, and visitors who would use the proposed crossing. The bill mandates a report to the legislature by December 2025 but died in committee on February 4, 2025, meaning no construction or policy change was enacted. This is a procedural study request, not a funding or construction bill.
