The College Station city council has approved submitting two grant applications to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

One would narrow traffic lanes on George Bush between Texas and Wellborn by making room for curbed bicycle lanes in each direction. If approved, the city would spend an estimated $515,000 and the state about $1 million dollars.
