The College Station City Council gathers Thursday at city hall for its workshop (5:30 p.m.) and regular (7 p.m.) meetings. Here are five items to watch:
- Wireless Communication Devices: The council will hear a workshop presentation about possibly restricting the use of wireless communications devices such as cellphones while operating a motor vehicle or bicycle.
- Fishing Piers at Parks: The council will consider contracts to repair the fishing pier at Brothers Pond Park and replace the pier at Central Park with one that complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
- Harvey Mitchell/Raymond Stotzer Interchange: The council will consider an advance funding agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation for the reconstruction of the interchange at Harvey Mitchel Parkway (FM2818) and Raymond Stotzer Parkway (FM60). The project includes pavement, traffic signals, lighting, and pedestrian and bicycle improvements.
- Traffic Movement Near Oakwood, College View: The council will consider these changes to traffic movement near Oakwood Intermediate and College View High School: No left turns from Holik Street into the Oakwood and College View driveways; no left turns from Timber Street into the College View driveway; the removal of stopping, standing and parking along streets around College View, Oakwood and A&M Consolidated Middle School; and the addition of a 30-minute parking zone near the schools along Holik Street.
- Impact Fees: After public hearings, the council will consider land use assumptions and capital improvement plans for possible water, wastewater and roadway impact fees.
The meetings can be watched live on Suddenlink Ch. 19, or online. The website includes an archive of previous council meetings. We’ll post a detailed live blog on this site.
