Shafer marked U.S. Highway 8 roundabout construction bond issue and appropriation

This bill appropriates $3.5 million from state highway bonds to fund a roundabout at the intersection of U.S. Highway 8 and Chisago County State-Aid Highway 21 in Shafer, Minnesota. It authorizes the state to sell up to $3.5 million in bonds, with proceeds deposited into the trunk highway fund to cover environmental analysis, design, and construction costs. The funding specifically targets the Shafer intersection project, which is eligible for bond financing under Minnesota law. The bill does not change transportation policy but provides the financial mechanism for this specific infrastructure project.
