AI Summary

This bill appropriates $6,000,000 from state bond proceeds to the Minnesota Department of Transportation for a specific infrastructure project in Fridley involving the extension of 57th Avenue NE and construction of a bridge across the BNSF Northtown Yard. The project will connect Main Street NE to East River Road and will include necessary public utility work.

The Commissioner of Management and Budget is authorized to sell and issue state bonds up to $6,000,000 to finance the project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes and the state constitution.
