Council approves consent agenda; repeals temporary two‑way designation on Rosedale
Summary
Council approved routine consent items including a $90,000 GIS services contract and joining the Kroger opioid settlement, and repealed a temporary two‑way traffic ordinance on Rosedale after staff and a resident described the project completion that removed the need for the temporary change.
The University Park City Council approved its consent agenda and voted to repeal a temporary two‑way traffic designation on Rosedale that had been installed during nearby construction, staff and a resident said Tuesday.
City Manager Robbie Quarter summarized the four consent items: a one‑year geographic information systems contract with New Edge Services for $90,000; consideration of repealing Ordinance 24‑033 (the temporary Rosedale two‑way designation); joining the Kroger opioid settlement (the city is eligible to receive a little over $3,800 to fund a middle‑school drug‑awareness program); and approval of the Dec. 3 council minutes. A council member moved and the council voted to approve the consent agenda.
Public Works Director Keegan Littrell told the council the Rosedale street segment was temporarily converted to two‑way traffic to assist visitors to Snyder Plaza during construction. Now that Rankin Street and the Daniel portion of the project are complete, staff recommended returning Rosedale to one‑way westbound traffic and restoring parking on the north side of the street.
Resident Matt Dixon (3446 Rosedale) addressed the council to thank officials and petition organizers for their responsiveness. "University Park, once again, sets a gold standard for municipal consideration from our public servants and our elected officials," Dixon said.
A motion to repeal the temporary ordinance was moved and seconded; council members present recorded affirmative votes and the chair announced the motion carried. Staff said the change restores normal parking standards on the block in question.
