City of Oakdale pedestrian bridge appropriation and bond issuance authorization

This bill authorizes the state of Minnesota to issue up to $4.5 million in bonds to fund a pedestrian bridge in Oakdale. The money will be used to design and build a bridge over Interstate 694 at 40th Street, connecting local trails, parks, and workplaces for residents. The commissioner of transportation will receive the funds to oversee the project, while the commissioner of management and budget handles the bond sale process. This legislation takes effect immediately upon final passage.
