This bill provides that the commission shall not authorize construction of any
state office building to be located outside of a downtown area certified by the
Department of Commerce as required under the bill, unless the cost of locating the
building inside such a downtown area is more than 10 percent greater than the
average cost of locating the building in that portion of the geographic area that is
served by the functions to be performed in the building on the date of initial
occupancy outside of such a downtown area, as determined by the Department of
Administration (DOA). The bill also provides that the commission, in preparing its
recommendations for the long-range building program, shall not recommend
construction of a state office building to be located outside of such a downtown area,
unless the commission would be authorized to permit construction of that building
in the recommended location. In addition, the bill prohibits the commission from
approving the lease of any building for state office facilities to be located outside of
such a downtown area unless the cost of locating the facilities inside such a
downtown area is more than 10 percent greater than the average cost of locating the
facilities in that portion of the geographic area that is served by the functions to be
performed in the facilities on the date of initial occupancy under the lease outside of
such a downtown area, as determined by DOA.
This bill imposes additional requirements relating to highway projects that are
funded by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and that involve a highway in
a business area included in the State Main Street Program or in a downtown certified
by the Department of Commerce. First, DOT must consult, during preliminary
stages of a proposed highway project, on issues concerning the proposed project and
its effect on the business or certified downtown area with the Department of
Commerce and, unless none exists, with a local board or downtown planning
organization of that municipality. Second, DOT must give priority to retaining any
on-street parking with respect to a highway-widening project in a business or
certified downtown area.
This bill specifies that DOT, in providing any matching funds for local highway
projects, is required to fund the construction of any highway lane without regard to
whether it is a travel lane or a parking lane. This requirement applies only to local
highway projects that are in business areas under the State Main Street Program
or in downtowns certified by the Department of Commerce.
Major highway projects
Under current law, DOT administers a major highway projects program. A
major highway project is a project having a total cost of more than $5,000,000 and
involving construction of a new highway 2.5 miles or more in length; reconstruction
or reconditioning of an existing highway that relocates at least 2.5 miles of the
highway or adds one or more lanes at least five miles in length to the highway; or
improvement of an existing multilane divided highway to freeway standards. Any
major highway project, unlike other highway construction projects undertaken by
DOT, requires the approval of the Transportation Projects Commission and the
legislature before the project may be constructed. The current list of major highway
projects that are approved for construction includes six projects that involve
bypasses.
This bill provides that, prior to constructing a major highway project involving
a bypass, DOT must notify the governing body of the city, village, or town primarily
to be affected by the bypass of DOT's proposed construction of the bypass. If the
governing body of the city, village, or town adopts a resolution, within 90 days of
being notified by DOT, stating that an active bypass is in the best public interest of
the city, village, or town and sends a copy of the resolution to DOT within seven days
of its adoption, DOT is required to design and construct an active bypass. The bill
defines "active bypass" as a bypass of an existing highway that is designed and
constructed in such a way that access to the bypass requires motorists to exit the
existing highway in order to travel on the bypass.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
