Agenda Item No. 1--Safety Committee Report to Council.
Councilman Ringer, liaison to the safety committee, explained the need for a new bike-
way program and introduced Vergil Stover of the Safety Committee. He asked for a
policy decision from the Council in terms of money, timing and location of the bike
paths.
The staff answered questions of the Council, citizens and the safety committee members.
Discussion included possible federal funding. D.D. Williamson, of the Texas Dept.
of Highways and Transportation, suggested that College Station could probably
receive a large portion of the funds.
Councilman Ringer suggested that the Council agree to support Mr. Williamson's
application for pursuing the federal funds following discussion with Bryan and
Texas A&M on combining efforts. The Council will support the staff in smaller
projects to help solve immmdiate projects.
The consensus of the Council was to proceed with these efforts.
Mayor Bravenec asked that this item be placed on future agendas for reports on
the progress.
Agenda Item No.2--Council to set date of special meeting.
Community Development Planner Kee said that the deadline for spending $252,000.00
