Citizen Comments
Susan Irza, Historic Preservation Committee chair, stated that the difference between the HPC
and the Landmark Commission is that the Landmark Commission deals with zoning, and the
HPC deals with education. A flyer was provided to the Council detailing the 2012 education
programs. The last presentation for 2011 is Wednesday, November 16. Jim Singleton will be
talking about unique Brazos Valley architecture. She introduced fellow committee members
M.D. Marshall and Ann Hayes. She thanked Barbara Moore, and Anne Boykin for their
assistance with the Marker program. She invited Council to attend one of the exploring history
lunch lectures. She reported that the HPC has awarded 86 or 87 markers, the majority for homes.
Onie Holmes, College Hill Baptist Church, stated that Mayor Berry is a Godsend and is a friend.
She thanked Council and staff for making this honor possible for the church, and thanked
everyone that helped make this dream come true. This month will celebrate the church's 66th
anniversary and invited everyone to come out on November 20 at 3:00 p.m. She is also looking
to get a marker for the neighborhood which is 97 years old.
Georgia Beverly, 801 Spring Loop #608, spoke on behalf of the College Station Pedestrian
Safety Group. Jaywalking in Northgate is a huge issue. Last Saturday, she observed over one
hour 187 jaywalkers; this was 41% of the total observed. The percentage increased to over 76%
as the day went on. In order to address the issue, she proposed an online walking safety course.
Revenue from fines could fund the course. This course could help to reduce injuries, fatalities
and accidents.
