A College Station city council majority denies a request to delete a future street project.
After more than two hours of discussion at the September 12th meeting, the council voted six to one to keep on the city’s thoroughfare plan, connecting Balcones Drive between Welsh next to First Baptist Church and the rear of Jones Crossing shopping center.
City staff was directed to work out the project, at the city’s expense, with the Jones Crossing developer and the church, who both requested the deletion.
Bob Yancy voted against the motion.
There was also council support for the city to split the cost of adding traffic signals at Harvey Mitchell Parkway at the intersection that serves the center and the Campus Village and Woodlands apartments.
