St. Louis Park Wayzata Boulevard and Zarthan Avenue improvements bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $4.05 million from state bonds to fund infrastructure improvements in St. Louis Park. It directly affects the city and its residents by financing property acquisition, design, construction, and upgrades for Wayzata Boulevard (from Louisiana Avenue to Zarthan Avenue), Zarthan Avenue (from Wayzata Boulevard to 200 feet south of 16th Street), and 16th Street (from Zarthan Avenue to Park Place Boulevard). Key provisions include funding for sidewalks, trails, utility repairs (water, sewer, storm sewer), streetlights, signals, pavement, curb/gutter, and roundabouts. The state will issue bonds to cover the costs, with funds becoming available once project resources are committed per state law.
