Two of three traffic control requests were approved at Thursday’s College Station City Council meeting.
Leaders of the Edelweiss homeowners association said after canvassing 90 homes three times and mailing two rounds of letters, there was majority support to remove parking on one side of two streets. At the end of a 75 minute dialogue, the council tabled the request. Councilman Karl Mooney wanted the renters and homeowners to know the safety dangers that applies in Edelweiss and other neighborhoods in College Station.
Comments from Karl Mooney.
Councilwoman Julie Schultz wanted unanimous support from affected homeowners and renters. She noted the difficulty navigating narrow residential streets when parking is allowed on both sides.

Earlier in the meeting the council banned parking near College Hills school along Gilchrist and Ashburn in an effort to get parents to drop off and pick up students on campus. And school zones were approved around Greens Prairie school on Royder Road and Greens Prairie Trail.
