CS Council Ends Pursuit of HOA Nature Trail

College Station’s Lick Creek Hike and Bike Trail will not include a nature path through the SpringBrook residential neighborhood.

At its last meeting, the council voted 4-2 against asking the SpringBrook Homeowners Association to reconsider giving an easement to open an unimproved nature trail along Lick Creek.

Councilwoman Blanche Brick was among those asking the HOA leadership to return the request to its property owners.
