The bill appropriates $762,000 from the general fund for fiscal year 2026 to the commissioner of transportation for a grant to the city of Columbus. This funding is specifically designated for improvements to Hornsby Street Northeast, extending from marked Trunk Highway 97 to Eureka Avenue. The improvements will encompass various aspects, including predesign, design, construction, and the replacement or repair of stormwater systems, as well as street reconstruction and enhancements to adjacent roads.
The appropriation is structured to remain available until the project is either completed or abandoned, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 16A.642. This initiative aims to enhance the infrastructure and overall safety of Hornsby Street Northeast, benefiting the local community and improving transportation in the area.
