Bill > HF494

This bill prohibits the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Metropolitan Council from spending any money on the ReConnect Rondo project, which is a proposed land bridge or freeway cap intended to cover Interstate Highway 94 between Chatsworth Street and Grotto Street in St. Paul. The prohibition applies to all project-related activities, including studying, planning, preliminary engineering, final design, and construction. This ban encompasses direct expenditures, grants to other entities, federal money, and any previously allocated but unexpended appropriations. The restrictions are comprehensive, effectively halting all state and metropolitan funding and development efforts for this specific infrastructure project. The bill will take effect immediately after it is enacted, meaning the restrictions will be in place as soon as the bill becomes law.
