New multimodal shared-use trail from La Crescent to Hokah and Houston to complete Root River State Trail funding provided, bonds issued, and money appropriated.

This bill authorizes the construction of an 18-mile multimodal shared-use trail connecting La Crescent to Hokah and Houston in Minnesota to complete the Root River State Trail. It appropriates $4.75 million from bond proceeds for the commissioner of natural resources to acquire property, conduct design and environmental reviews, and prepare preliminary engineering for the trail's first phase. The legislation also directs the sale and issuance of state bonds to fund this appropriation, with any remaining unspent funds available for final construction after the initial planning phase.
