Citizen shows video of Greyhound bus maneuver and clarifies TxDOT median removal remarks
Summary
A resident showed video of a Greyhound bus using a private lot to turn northbound and clarified city/TXDOT discussions about median removal, saying TxDOT did not commit to paying for removal or quote costs; she apologized for any prior miscommunication.
During the 'here citizens' portion, Karen Hall showed a short video of a Greyhound bus turning in downtown Bryan using a private parking lot to complete a northbound maneuver and urged the city to find a permanent solution for bus turnarounds.
Hall also corrected a prior statement attributed to her about TxDOT funding for median removal, saying she did not state TxDOT would pay for the work and that city staff had not received a clear cost estimate from TxDOT. "TxDOT said they would remove them, but clearly they were not going to tell us who would pay for it or how much it would cost," she said, and apologized for any confusion.
Mayor Pro Tem thanked Hall for the clarification; the council did not take immediate action during the meeting but the matter remains a subject for interagency discussion with TxDOT.
