Motorists on Texas A&M’s west campus have been delayed Friday (May 1) after a campus bus struck a traffic pole and signal where Raymond Stotzer meets Agronomy and Olsen. A university police (UPD) spokesman tells WTAW News that a bus that had left the Transportation Services operations center on Agronomy was turning onto Stotzer when the bus struck the pole. The impact caused the traffic signal to fall into the roadway. The intersection has reopened without traffic signals as College Station police is directing traffic. The pole and the signal are in the process of being replaced, something which may not be completed until Friday evening. There were no passengers on board. The driver received minor injuries from shattered windshield glass. Weather was a possible contributing factor as UPD continues its investigation. The crash was reported Friday at 7:03 a.m.
April’s meeting of the Bryan city council including updating a local ordinance to reflect changes in state law to require an animal license to own a ferret. Quoting the amended ordinance: (a) It is unlawful to keep more than two ferrets over the age of six months in a dwelling unit within city limits. (b) Ferrets must be currently vaccinated against rabies at all times and licensed in the same manner as dogs and cats under section 10-52. This section shall be enforced in the same manner and with the same consequences as for dogs and cats. (c) The owner of ferrets, or the owner of real property on which ferrets are being kept, may not allow the ferrets to be a nuisance, or be the source of a nuisance, by virtue of (1) odor, excessive noise, or attraction of pests, which would disturb a person of normal sensibilities; or (2) otherwise create a health hazard.
