Arden Hills pedestrian and bicycle trail segment bond issue and appropriation

SF 1663 appropriates $1.65 million from state bonds to fund a new pedestrian and bicycle trail segment in Arden Hills, Minnesota. The project will construct a trail along Old Highway 10 North from Lake Valentine Road to Lakeshore Place, connecting to an existing regional trail, and includes a required boardwalk over wetlands. The funds cover land acquisition, construction, and the wetland boardwalk to comply with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service requirements. The state will issue bonds to finance the project under Minnesota law, with the money provided to the city of Arden Hills. This bill directly affects Arden Hills residents and regional trail users by creating new non-motorized transportation infrastructure.
