Bill > HF1822

This bill prohibits the Minnesota Commissioner of Transportation from reducing travel lanes or constructing a boulevard or land bridge on Interstate Highway 94 between Minneapolis and St. Paul. Specifically, the bill prevents the commissioner from removing any existing travel lanes on this highway segment and bars the expenditure of funds to study, analyze, or propose a boulevard or land bridge design. The legislation allows exceptions for necessary lane reductions related to highway resurfacing, reconstruction, maintenance, or emergency purposes. The bill effectively limits potential future modifications to the interstate highway's current configuration, ensuring that the number of travel lanes remains unchanged and preventing alternative design concepts like boulevards or land bridges from being implemented. The provisions would take effect immediately after the bill's final enactment, giving the transportation commissioner clear restrictions on potential highway redesign projects for this specific stretch of Interstate 94.
