TxDOT. In 1996, City closed Patricia Street in order to provide a safe space for pedestrians in an
effort to move crowds off University Drive. Since that time, the area has experienced growth with
the city parking garage, new businesses and residential developments. This proposal is a
collaborative effort between the City, TxDOT and TAMU and efforts were accelerated because this
area has the highest concentration of pedestrians and the second busiest street, University Drive.
Bob Appleton, Director of Planning and Development of Texas Department of Transportation
presented the proposed design of this project and funding sources. He stated that numerous meetings
were held with officials and stakeholders.
College Station Police Chief Jeff Capps explained his concerns about pedestrian safety. He
presented videos of accidents during busy hours in the area.
Staff recommended that Council approve the resolution. This recommendation is strongly supported
by officials at Texas A&M University as well as the College Station Police and Fire Departments.
At 8:15 pm, Mayor Berry called for a brief recess. Council returned at 8:21 p.m.

Terms: Payment due upon receipt
Sold To: City of College Station
Transaction Description:
• Client originally needed between 30-43 wetland mitigation credits from the Steele
Creek Mitigation Bank. Client paid 15% of 43 credits (43 credits x $20,500 per
credit = $881,500 x .15 = $132,225)
• 15% down held the credits for 6 months from the original invoice date. This gave
the environmental company and the Corps plenty of time to resolve the number of
credits actually required for the project. This also allowed credits to be "set
aside" for the project and ensure it was not held up by mitigation credit needs.
• All of the 15% originally paid is now applied to the total purchase price for 22.0
credits as detailed in the permit.
• 22.0 credits X $20,500 per credit = $451,000
• $451,000 — $132,225 = $318,775
