City reports $3.8 million state bonding award for Rice Lake Road Corridor and utility extensions
Summary
City staff reported the city was awarded a $3.8 million state bonding request to support utility extensions and final design/street-scape work for the Rice Lake Road Corridor; staff said several preconstruction steps remain before design and construction.
City administrative staff told the council that the city’s state bonding request for $3.8 million was approved and will fund utility extensions and final designs for the Rice Lake Road Corridor and associated streetscaping.
The administration credited local representatives and lobbyist work for securing the award. Staff said the project remains in pre-construction planning: several permits, design tasks and other preparatory steps must be completed before the city can advance to final design and construction phases.
The council’s administration also noted ongoing work to prepare utility-extension plans for 2026–2028 and said staff will continue meeting with stakeholders to finalize designs and coordinate funding timelines. No construction contract or funding draw schedule was approved at the meeting; staff said additional steps and potential approvals will be needed before funds are expended.
