Audio PlayerFebruary’s Bryan city council project update included four items in and near Midtown Park and two involving Old Hearne Road. Click below to hear city manager Kean Register’s report at the February 18, 2025 Bryan city council meeting. CITY OF BRYAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS • The contract for the Midtown Park Boardwalk was awarded by Council at the January meeting and the contractor is preparing submittals for review. Project should start in March and finish as early as October this year. This portion of the Midtown Park Project is one of the reasons the Schulman Movie Bowl Grille has been delayed, as the boardwalk goes around and ties into the MBG property lease and parking lot. The delay, however, did result in a re-design of the boardwalk and bulkhead, with savings to the City of $4.5-5M. • In addition, we have received the permits from TCEQ to complete work at the lake which will allow us to fill the lake to its planned capacity upon completion of the boardwalk, dam and spillway projects. • The City is staking the well locations for the Midtown Park Water Wells Project; the contractor will then begin work, with completion expected by the fall. • South College is now open from Villa Maria to Waverly. Rountree is currently used to bypass the Williamson intersection, which is closed to construct the roundabout. Larry Young Paving continues to work northward and will open sections as they are completed. • The Old Hearne Road Extension Project has commenced and will extend approximately 1,800 linear feet of new curb and gutter street, sidewalk, and storm sewer, making the connection to the N. Earl Rudder Frontage Road and the new BTU Administration Building. Construction is expected to complete by end of 2025. • The pedestal for the Chick Lane Elevated Storage Tank is complete, and the contractor is welding the bowl before it will be lifted into place later this summer. • The Old Hearne Road contractor recently corrected the work from Producer’s Co-op’s driveway to Texas Avenue, and work continues on the punch list items from Texas Avenue back to Wilhelm. • The Commerce Street Reconstruction project is complete. • The Sulphur Springs Roadway, Sanitary, and Waterline Rehabilitation project is substantially complete and in punch list phase. • Construction continues on the Bristol Street and Esther Boulevard Drainage Improvements. This project, which includes adding extensive drainage structures to greatly improve the drainage in the area, is expected to finish by the end of the year. • The Hillside Drive/Old Oaks Drive Drainage Improvements Project is substantially complete and in the punch list phase. • Construction of the Traffic Signal Replacements at Villa Maria at Briarcrest and Briarcrest at Broadmoor are underway, with concrete flatwork in progress at the intersection of Briarcrest and Villa Maria. Completion is expected by the end of next month. PARKS AND POOLS UPDATES • The Bryan Aquatic Center will be closed from Saturday, February 22, through Wednesday, March 19, pending weather and construction delays, to replace the bulkhead, which is a movable barrier that divides the pool into sections. • The Bryan and Oakwood Cemeteries Quarterly Cleanup Event will take place Monday, February 24 to Friday, February 28. During these cleanups, staff removes non-compliant items such as loose objects like glass, ceramics, statues, decorations and faded or tattered flowers, whether live or artificial, in accordance with cemetery ordinances (Section 22-5). For more information, call 979-209-5230. • The Grand Slam Cruise-In Car Show is rolling into Travis Fields at Travis Bryan Midtown Park on Friday, February 28, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. This free, family-friendly event will feature classic and modern cars, live music, food trucks, and a local vendor market.
