Vadnais Heights regional trail bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $6 million from state bond proceeds to fund a 2.25-mile multiuse trail along Vadnais Lake in Vadnais Heights. The funds will support designing and building the trail, which aims to enhance safety, provide scenic access to natural areas, and improve regional connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists. The state will issue bonds up to $6 million under Minnesota law to cover the cost, with the Metropolitan Council administering the grant to the city. This directly affects Vadnais Heights residents and regional trail users by creating new recreational infrastructure.
