I know that after-hours the only option is to call the non-emergency police department number so it can be investigated. Otherwise, nothing will happen until normal business hours and if there aren't cars parked illegally at that time, the issue will just be closed.

Monday, I took my son to the College Station Middle school. There was a football game going on at that same time and the fire lanes were packed. I called the non-emergency line and an officer responded. I got a call back from the officer saying that they could not do anything about it. I was told that school administration would be notified and that the parents would be educated on proper parking. I hope that this will be referred to the Fire Marshall's office.

Thank you for reporting this issue. CSPD will be notified. Updates will be posted here.

If you call the College Station Fire Dept., they will come out and ticket the person who parked the car. I don't think it matters what time of day, since fire trucks need to have access to buildings 24/7.

The Fire Department does not write tickets, we call cops to write tickets.

A few years ago, when patrons constantly parked in the fire lane at the library, we were told by the city to call the fire department.

I don't know how it works in College Station, but in Bryan, the Fire Marshall can write tickets for parking in the fire lane. He does it at Rudder High School.

Is anything being done?

I am only at the school long enough to pick up my son, yet everyday there is a vehicle parked in the fire lane.

The Code Officer for that area spoke with director of Kids Klub, reminding him of the parking issue. He should be informing the parents.

For issues occurring after business hours, please call CSPD, 979-764-6363.

I did talk with PD and they stated that they don't write tickets at schools because parents complain to school officials, school officials complain to police administration, and the tickets are dropped. So I ask, who will take care of this problem?

Correct non-emergency number for CSPD is 979-764-3600

Thank you for your concern regarding this matter. I have talked to CSISD and Kids Klub and asked that they remind parents at all schools that parking in fire lanes is prohibited and violators could receive citations. College Station Police Department and College Station Fire Department have also been made aware of this issue. Please report these issues to the non-emergency number for CSPD at 979-764-3600. I would be happy to discuss this further with you if you would like to contact me directly - Debbie Eller, Director of Community Services at 979-764-3771.
