Minnehaha Creek Nicollet Avenue Bridge capital improvements bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $17 million from state bonds to fund repairs, renovation, and construction of the Nicollet Avenue Bridge over Minnehaha Creek in Minneapolis. The funds are provided to the city of Minneapolis through a grant from the state transportation commissioner, but become available only after nonstate sources commit sufficient matching resources. The state will issue up to $17 million in bonds under Minnesota's bond statutes to cover the cost. The project directly affects Minneapolis residents and commuters using this bridge, with the work focused on improving infrastructure at this specific location.
