Fridley; road extension and bridge over the BNSF Northtown Yard funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 221 appropriates $6 million from state bonds to fund the planning and design of a road extension and bridge in Fridley over the BNSF Northtown Yard. The funds will support the City of Fridley in creating a connection between Main Street NE and East River Road, including necessary utility work. This state funding serves as a match to leverage approximately $24 million in federal funds for the full project. The bill authorizes the state to issue bonds to cover this appropriation under Minnesota's bond laws.
