    Subd. 3.  [OUTDOOR TELEPHONE BOOTHS.] (a) Outdoor telephone 
booths may be placed and maintained within the limits of any 
public highway, including city streets, when authorized by a 
written permit issued by the proper road authority.  
    (b) The governing body of a city or town may grant 
permission by license, permit, contract, or franchise to the 
owner of an outdoor telephone booth located within the right of 
way of a public highway or street to place advertising on the 
booth.  This permission is subject to terms and conditions 
prescribed by the city or town.  This paragraph does not

road authority having jurisdiction over a trunk highway, county 
highway, or state-aid highway. 
    Sec. 2.  [TRUNK HIGHWAY 15 RIGHT-OF-WAY.] 
    The commissioner of transportation shall not sell, dispose 
of, or certify as surplus property under Minnesota Statutes, 
section 94.10, any real property owned by the department of 
transportation that adjoins, or lies within, the right-of-way of 
trunk highway 15 in St. Cloud.  This prohibition does not apply 
to a sale or disposal of the property that occurs after a date 
that is two years before the date established by the 
commissioner for the letting of bids for construction on, or 
expansion of, the bridge on trunk highway 15 that crosses the
