Bryan High School Freshman’s Eagle Scout Project Includes A Statue Outside The Bryan Police Department

A Bryan High School freshman is raising money for an Eagle Scout project recognizing law enforcement. 15 year old Roman Smith has received permission from Bryan police to place a statue outside BPD headquarters in downtown Bryan. And Roman has enlisted Navasota sculptor J. Payne Lara, who has created statues for the Brazos Valley Veterans Memorial, to create a statue of his godfather. Beaumont police officer Bryan Hebert died in the line of duty in July of 2011. Additionally, Smith and fellow members of Boy Scout troop 159 at the Bryan American Legion have built benches to be used by officers training at the local law enforcement academy next to Twin Oaks Landfill. Fundraising continues for the statue through Roman Smith’s GoFundMe account. And he has organized a pancake dinner the evening of Tuesday, April 21st, at the Bryan American Legion.

College Station City Council Approves A Change In The Design Of Rebuilding Rock Prairie Road East

The College Station city council unanimously approves changing the design of about one-half mile of rebuilding Rock Prairie Road between Town Lake and Fitch. Project manager Raquel Gonzales says moving the road by nine feet to avoid acquiring additional right of way, relocating a natural gas line, and bypassing a pond will not result in motorists dealing with a jog. City documents say the cost of the design change is $92,406 dollars and will add 90 days to finish the design. But that is compared with keeping the original design, which city documents says requires buying property and relocating natural gas lines. Acquiring the land would take between one and two and a half years and at a cost of $174,000 dollars. Relocating the natural gas lines has an estimated cost between $500,000 and $1 million dollars and take one and a half years.
