Bill > SF4062

This bill appropriates $1,550,000 from the bond proceeds fund to the Minnesota Department of Transportation for a grant to the Minnesota Commercial Railway Company to demolish the existing railroad bridge over Rice Creek in New Brighton and construct a replacement bridge. The grant is contingent on the railway company's designs being approved by Ramsey County and the Rice Creek Watershed District, the removal of all existing bridge structures from the streambed, and an agreement with Ramsey County granting the company access for construction and maintenance, as well as repairing any damage to the county trail. The bill also authorizes the Commissioner of Management and Budget to sell and issue state bonds to provide the funding for this project.
