Edina; Highway 100 and Vernon Avenue interchange funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 246 appropriates $5.3 million from state transportation bond proceeds to fund the design, engineering, and construction of a new interchange at Highway 100 and Vernon Avenue/West 50th Street in Edina. The bill authorizes the state to issue bonds up to this amount, with bond proceeds credited back to the transportation fund. Any surplus land created by the project must be dedicated by Edina for a fire station, municipal campus, or both. This bill directly affects the city of Edina by providing funding for a specific infrastructure project.
