On Thursday, Rep. Tabke advocated for three infrastructure projects that he submitted for inclusion in this year’s public works package. He presented the projects in the House Committee charged with putting together the "bonding bill."
The projects are designed to:
- Provide funding for construction of a pedestrian bridge over Highway 169, completing a major trail connection between Southbridge and Quarry Lake Park.
- Construct 2.2 miles of trail on the former Union Pacific rail line connecting Scott and Carver Counties, the city of Carver, and the regional trail network in Carver County. The project includes the construction or renovation of four bridges.
- Stabilize the Minnesota riverbank and build a cultural corridor from highway 101 to Memorial Park. The project is the result of collaboration between the City of Shakopee, Scott County, Three Rivers parks, and the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community.
This is the first time in recent history that projects local to Shakopee have been considered in the state’s public works package.
