Bill > HF691

This bill provides a $10,000,000 appropriation from state bond proceeds to the commissioner of transportation for improvements to Nicollet Avenue (County State-Aid Highway 52) in Richfield, Hennepin County. The funding is specifically designated for designing and constructing approximately 1.4 miles of roadway, including active transportation and public utility infrastructure improvements. The project will involve replacing water main, sanitary sewer main, and storm sewer main along Nicollet Avenue from 77th Street to 66th Street, and will support the city's local cost-share in cooperation with Hennepin County. The bill authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to $10,000,000 to fund the project, following standard state bonding procedures outlined in Minnesota Statutes. The appropriation covers not only construction costs but also includes funding for predesign work, real property acquisition, right-of-way, and easement acquisition within the project corridor. The bill will take effect the day after its final enactment.
