The House asks the Department of Transportation and Development to study whether to close one entrance ramp from 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. each weekday.

The resolution requests a study; it does not order a ramp closure. The resolution directs the department to submit its findings to the House Committee on Transportation, Highways and Public Works by March 1, 2027.
