Bill > SF2169

This bill transfers $10 million from the state's general fund to the active transportation account in fiscal year 2026 and then immediately appropriates that same $10 million to the Minnesota Department of Transportation for a specific purpose: providing grants to the city of Anoka for a pedestrian bridge project over the Rum River Dam. The grant funds can be used for various phases of the project, including design, engineering, environmental analysis, land acquisition, and construction, with the appropriation remaining available until June 30, 2029. The active transportation account, established under Minnesota Statutes section 174.38, is a special revenue fund typically used to support projects that encourage walking, bicycling, and other non-motorized forms of transportation. By dedicating these funds to the Anoka pedestrian bridge, the bill aims to improve local transportation infrastructure and connectivity across the Rum River.
