New multimodal shared-use trail from La Crescent to Hokah and Houston bond issue and appropriation
Referred to Capital Investment
Summary
The bill authorizes $4.75 million from state bond proceeds to the Commissioner of Natural Resources for land acquisition, design, environmental review, permitting, and preliminary engineering of an 18‑mile multimodal trail linking La Crescent, Hokah, and Houston along the Root River corridor. The trail will follow the abandoned rail bed, Trunk Highway 16, and County Trunk Highways 7 and 25, and may use public or private lands without invoking eminent domain. Any money left over after those steps can be applied to final engineering and construction of the trail.
