EGF: Road funding and Bernie’s liquor license

By Doug Barrett Aug 3, 2022 | 9:46 AM

The East Grand Forks Council will ask the MPO to amend the Metropolitan Transportation plan to help pave the way for spending some $860,000 dollars in federal road funding.
The city was hoping to use the money for a roundabout at Bygland Road or a rebuild of 10th Street NE. Both projects have hit roadblocks pushing them beyond the 2023 deadline to qualify for the funding cycle.
In order not to lose out on the money the city has compiled a list of substitute projects that require MPO attention. The council approved the request last night.
East Grand Forks won’t see another round of “subtarget” funding until 2026.

Without discussion the East Grand Forks council approved a combination on-sale and off-sale liquor license for Bernie’s Restaurant last night (Tuesday). The city had previously endorsed an on-sale only license for the eatery.
The restaurant is slated to open later this year in the old Whitey’s and Sickies location. Sickies closed in August 2021.
The business will be owned by the Food Network’s Molly Yeh.
