City of College Station Pleads with Residents to Refrain from Mowing City Parks

In an official response, the City of College Station has requested its residents to abstain from mowing city property, after multiple inquiries on the topic were made via the city’s “See, Fix, Click” application.

The city’s response also shed light on reasons for the delayed mowing in many city parks, citing record-breaking rainfall as the main culprit. It further reassured its residents that the City’s mowing contractors and Parks and Recreation staff are working round the clock to restore a regular mowing schedule. The City expressed its intentions on social media, where it stressed on the efficiency and swiftness of the workers in getting back to the mowing duties.
