Shakopee rail crossing improvements bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $3 million from state bond proceeds to fund rail crossing improvements in Shakopee, specifically to establish a quiet zone along the Union Pacific Railway corridor. The funds will cover design, construction, and equipment for safety upgrades at rail crossings, directly benefiting the city of Shakopee. The money will be raised through a state bond sale authorized under Minnesota law, with the commissioner of transportation administering the grant. The project aims to reduce train horn use and enhance safety for residents and commuters in Shakopee.
