Motion to reconsider Lick Mill bike lane segment dies for lack of second
Summary
A resident requested the council reconsider a prior decision on bike lanes along Lick Mill between Montague and Tasman. One council member moved to reconsider the segment, but the motion died for lack of a second.
A member of the public asked the City Council on Tuesday to reconsider a recently approved bicycle lane plan affecting the Guadalupe River and the Lick Mill corridor. The caller said traffic congestion and local drop‑off patterns near Montague and Licknell make removing a car lane risky for safety and local traffic.
City staff explained the process: because the earlier vote was 4‑0 there are procedural steps required to reopen the item — a motion to reconsider must be made and approved by the council members who voted on the measure. Council Member Hardy said, “I am willing to make a motion to reconsider,” and then amended the potential motion to limit it to the segment of Lick Mill between Montague and Tasman. When Hardy asked for a second, none was forthcoming and the mayor announced the motion “dies for lack of a second.”
City staff told the speaker how to follow up with the city manager’s office for project timelines and outreach details. The council did not reopen the matter at the meeting.
