1.16 		Subd. 7.Jim Oberstar Bikeway. The Jim Oberstar Bikeway is designated as a state 
1.17 	bicycle route. It must originate in the city of St. Paul in Ramsey County, then proceed north 
1.18 	and east to Duluth in St. Louis County, then proceed north and east along the shore of Lake 
1.19 	Superior through Grand Marais in Cook County to Minnesota's boundary with Canada, and 
1.20 	there terminate.

1.21 	Sec. 2. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 161.082, subdivision 2a, is amended to read:
1.22 		Subd. 2a.Town bridges and culverts; town road account. (a) Money in the town 
1.23 	bridge account must be expended on replacement or rehabilitation of town road bridge 
1.24 	structures that are ten feet or more in length and on town road culverts that replace existing 
1.25 	town road bridges. In addition, if the present bridge structure is less than ten feet in length 
2.1 	but a hydrological survey indicates that the replacement bridge structure or culvert must be 
2.2 	ten feet or more in length, then the bridge or culvert is eligible for replacement funds.
2.3 	(b) The town bridge account may be used to pay the costs to abandon an existing bridge 
2.4 	that is deficient and in need of replacement, but where no replacement will be made. It may 
2.5 	also be used to pay the costs to construct a road or street to facilitate the abandonment of 
2.6 	an existing bridge determined by the commissioner to be deficient, if the commissioner 
2.7 	determines that construction of the road or street is more cost-efficient than replacing the 
2.8 	existing bridge. It may also be used to pay the costs for environmental documentation, 
2.9 	preliminary design, and final design of historic bridges and for repurposing and restoring 
2.10 	salvageable components of historic bridges, including disassembly, transportation to a new 
2.11 	location, construction, and other associated costs.
2.12 	(c) When bridge approach construction work exceeds $10,000 in costs, or when the 
2.13 	county engineer determines that the cost of the replacement culverts alone will not exceed 
2.14 	$20,000, or engineering costs exceed $10,000, the town shall be eligible for financial 
2.15 	assistance from the town bridge account. Financial assistance shall be requested by resolution 
2.16 	of the county board and shall be limited to:
2.17 	(1) 100 percent of the cost of the bridge approach work that is in excess of $10,000;
2.18 	(2) 100 percent of the cost of the replacement culverts when the cost does not exceed 
2.19 	$20,000 and the town board agrees to be responsible for all the other costs, which may 
2.20 	include costs for structural removal, installation, and permitting. The replacement structure 
2.21 	design and costs shall be approved and certified by the county engineer, but need not be 
2.22 	subsequently approved by the Department of Transportation; or
2.23 	(3) 100 percent of all related engineering costs that exceed $10,000, or in the case of 
2.24 	towns with a net tax capacity of less than $300,000, 100 percent of the engineering costs.
2.25 	(d) Money in the town road account must be distributed as provided in section 162.081.

2.32 	body of the city of St. Paul to transfer jurisdiction of a portion of Legislative Route No. 334 
3.1 	and notifies the revisor of statutes electronically or in writing that the conditions required 
3.2 	to transfer the route have been satisfied.

4.11 	surplus property to any state agency or political subdivision of this state or to the United 
4.12 	States government upon receipt of payment in an amount equal to the value of the surplus 
4.13 	property.
4.14 	The commissioner may also sell the surplus property under the competitive bidding 
4.15 	provisions of chapter 16C if no state agency or political subdivision of this state offers to

4.27 	incidental to construction, or a specified portion thereof of those costs, as set forth in the 
4.28 	commissioner's rules, may be included in determining money needs. To avoid variances in 
4.29 	costs due to differences in construction policy, construction costs shall be estimated on the 
4.30 	basis of the engineering standards developed cooperatively by the commissioner and the 
4.31 	county engineers of the several counties.

5.1 	Sec. 9. Minnesota Statutes 2022, section 162.13, subdivision 2, is amended to read:

5.16 	needs of the city that the commissioner deems necessary in order to apportion the municipal 
5.17 	state-aid street fund in accordance with the apportionment formula heretofore set forth under 
5.18 	this section. Upon receipt of the information, the commissioner shall appoint a board of city 
5.19 	engineers. The board shall be composed of the following:
