Bill > SF3067

This bill provides funding and authorization for a new bike trail connecting the cities of Harmony, Canton, Mabel, Spring Grove, and Caledonia in Minnesota. Specifically, the bill appropriates $14,000,000 from state bond proceeds to the commissioner of natural resources to acquire property and easements, and to complete predesign and design work for Phase 1 of the bike trail. The trail will follow marked Trunk Highway 44 and U.S. Highway 52. The bill also authorizes the commissioner of management and budget to sell and issue state bonds up to $14,000,000 to fund the project, in accordance with existing state statutes and constitutional provisions. Any unspent funds from the initial appropriation can be used for future engineering and construction phases of the bike trail after providing written notice to the commissioner of management and budget. The bill becomes effective immediately after final enactment, paving the way for the development of this regional bicycle infrastructure project.
