1.9 	subdivision:
1.10 	(1) "city street" means a street under the jurisdiction of the city road authority;

1.12 	(3) "lane reduction miles" means (i) the greater of zero, or (ii) the number of lane miles

1.15 	commissioner of transportation indicating the number of city street lane miles for the city 
1.16 	in the current aids payable year. The commissioner of transportation shall determine the 
1.17 	form and manner of the certification. The city must not include in the report any temporary 
1.18 	lane reductions due to construction, maintenance, or repair work. By July 15, 2021, and 
1.19 	annually thereafter, the commissioner of transportation must certify to the commissioner

2.7 	year. Any aid reductions under this subdivision must cancel to the general fund and not be 
2.8 	reallocated among other cities.
