Broadway decision costs Winona road repair budget $300K (2/19/2021)
Because the Winona City Council canceled the Broadway road diet, the city now has to forfeit more than a third of its road resurfacing funding for 2021.
The city of Winona spent roughly $300,000 on consulting and planning fees for the Broadway road diet project. Since the City Council voted Feb. 1 to stop the project, and thus cut off the outside grant funding that would have paid for that $300,000, the city engineering department will now have to eat those costs.
During a meeting on Tuesday, the City Council voted to withdraw the money from the mill and overlay fund in the 2021 budget, which otherwise would have gone to redo cracked and potholed streets throughout the city. City staff estimated that taking out the money means about 15 blocks of the city will go without being resurfaced. After the $300,000 is removed, about $585,100 would remain in the mill and overlay budget
