We received notification that on February 25th, 2008, the House of Representatives approved the Omnibus Appropriations Act. The City Of Isanti will receive $950,000 towards the construction of the Pedestrian Bridge that has been proposed to span over Trunk Highway 65, providing a safe crossing for pedestrians and bicyclists. This has not been sign into law and can still see changes.
We will be amending our current request for the 2010 funding cycle for the remainder of the funds needed to complete this project, when the Omnibus Appropriations Act is sign into law. These dollars will help ensure a safe east west connection as our City continues to grow to the east. The time table of growth has slowed for Isanti but future population growth is planned to the east of highway 65. The trail system associated with this project will extend to the Intermediate School.
The Bike/Walk trail that will begin construction this spring connects Isanti to Cambridge is a great north/south compliment to the pedestrian bridge that will connect east and west. Both projects have regional significance to future development of our community.
