Bill > SF367

This bill appropriates $1.5 million in fiscal year 2026 to the Minnesota Department of Transportation to conduct a detailed study of three specific intersections in the city of Rockville along Trunk Highway 23: the intersections with Stearns County State-Aid Highway 47, Stearns County State-Aid Highway 82, and Stearns County Road 140. The study's primary objective is to evaluate and determine the most effective infrastructure solution for improving safety at these locations, specifically focusing on potential options like underpasses, overpasses, or tunnels, while explicitly excluding J-turns (a type of intersection design that reduces left-turn conflicts) from consideration. The funding is designated as a one-time appropriation, meaning the money is intended for this specific study and will not be recurring. By mandating a comprehensive safety assessment, the bill aims to address potential transportation safety concerns at these critical intersections in Rockville.
