Mesabi Trail segment bond issuance and appropriation
This bill appropriates $3 million from state bond proceeds to fund the relocation of a segment of the Mesabi Trail in Mountain Iron, Minnesota, due to a permanent closure of County State-Aid Highway 102. The funds will support the St. Louis and Lake Counties Regional Railroad Authority for planning, designing, engineering, and constructing a pedestrian bridge to reroute the trail. The bill authorizes the state to issue bonds up to $3 million to cover these costs under existing bond laws. It directly affects trail users and Mountain Iron residents impacted by the highway closure, ensuring continued trail access. The project is limited to the specific trail segment and bridge construction described in the bill.
