Purpose of the Bill

The purpose of this bill is to amend a previous appropriation related to capital investment in road and bridge infrastructure in the city of Savage, Minnesota. It focuses on extending the timeframe for the use of bond proceeds dedicated to these improvements.

Main Provisions

• The bill amends a specific section of a law from 2023 that allocated bond proceeds for transportation projects in Savage.
• The project involves predesigning and designing the expansion of Quentin Avenue and the reconstruction of two railroad bridges that cross over Quentin Avenue.
• The targeted area for these infrastructure improvements extends approximately 600 feet south and north of the railroad bridges.

Significant Changes to Existing Law

• The new provision allows the bond sale authorization and appropriation of the bond proceeds for the Quentin Avenue project to remain available until December 31, 2029. This extension provides more time beyond the initially stipulated period to use the allocated funds.
