The Edmond City Council on Oct. 21 approved Resolution 41‑25 supporting the city's application to the Association of Central Oklahoma Governments (ACOG) Air Quality Grant Program to fund an expansion of CityLink Route 7.

Staff explained the grant would fund an amendment to existing routes, including the new service in the northeast quadrant around Sooner and Covell that will serve the convention center, Crest, and Francis Tuttle. Ms. Matterson said the mobility commission identified the route as having high potential economic‑development benefits and that route adjustments could offset operating costs after grant funds expire.

Councilmember questions focused on long‑term funding; staff replied the route change redistributes existing service and that those operational offsets were part of long‑term planning. The motion to approve the resolution passed 5‑0.

The resolution supports the grant application; council did not commit specific post‑grant funding in that motion.

No public comment was offered on the item during the meeting.
