Minneapolis; Grand Rounds Missing Link trail connection funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

HF 2718 appropriates $6.8 million from state bond proceeds to fund the design and construction of a missing trail connection for the Grand Rounds system in Minneapolis. The funds will be provided to the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board to complete a trail segment between East River Road and St. Anthony Parkway on the city's east side. The bill authorizes the state to issue bonds up to $6.8 million to cover this cost, following standard state bond procedures. This project directly affects Minneapolis residents and visitors who use the Grand Rounds trail system by connecting a previously unlinked section. The funding is specifically for physical trail construction, not administrative costs or other park improvements.
