College Station city administrators hold their first public discussion with the city council about the idea of charging $25 dollars for people to park on some city streets and some city owned parking lots around Kyle Field for the upcoming George Strait concert and soccer game between Mexico and Brazil.
A majority of council members had no opposition.
Subject to council approval, paid parking would include more than 1,600 spaces in the Southside neighborhood and almost 1,200 in city owned parking lots.
Community services director Debbie Eller said city employees would contact affected residents, who would also have to pay to park on streets by their homes.
Councilman Bob Yancy estimated that if the paid parking also applied to the upcoming Texas A&M football season, the city would generate gross revenue of almost $1 million dollars.
