Background:
The City of Minneapolis, in coordination with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) and Hennepin County, is leading a project to rehabilitate Lake Harriet Parkway from Roseway Road to 42nd Street. The roadway is owned by the MPRB and operated by the city.
The project is eligible for State Park Road Account (SPRA) funding since it will improve a roadway with access to a public lake and resources (Minnesota Statutes, section 162.06, subdivision 5). The funding requires the county to sponsor the project and serve as the fiscal agent on behalf of the city. This agreement will allow the county to accept and disburse the SPRA funds as needed. It designates the city as the lead agency in project development, construction, and administration.
The city is responsible for all funding requirements and any costs not eligible for SPRA funding. The city and MPRB will also assume all maintenance responsibilities for the improvements.
