Bill > HF3244

This bill modifies previous appropriations for trail improvements in the city of Dellwood along White Bear Lake, extending the timeline for bond sale authorization and project completion from 2026 to 2028. Specifically, the bill provides flexibility for the city of Dellwood to complete trail improvements in multiple segments, including sections along the railway bed, Dellwood Avenue, and other connecting routes between Echo Street, Dwinnell Avenue, Yellow Birch Road, and Meadow Lane. The bill authorizes a total of $5,600,000 in grants ($3,600,000 from a 2020 special session appropriation and $2,000,000 from a 2023 appropriation) to design, engineer, construct, and equip trail improvements, with the ability to acquire permanent easements and rights-of-way. The legislation allows the city to complete trail segments in any order and apply remaining funds from completed segments to other planned segments. The bill also provides that any unspent funds can be reallocated across the different trail segments, offering the city maximum flexibility in implementing the Lake Links Trail project around White Bear Lake.
