January’s meeting of the Bryan city council included awarding $6 million dollars in contracts for two more additions at Midtown Park involving the park’s lake. Construction will be starting soon on a boardwalk and to build two water wells that will feed the lake. Weather permitting, the boardwalk could open this August and the water wells could start operating by the end of 2025. A nearly $4.5 million dollar contract for a boardwalk and a support structure called a bulkhead follows the council last April rejecting more than $9 million dollars in bids. A contract for just over $1.5 million dollars was awarded to build two water wells that will feed the lake to keep the water level constant. The cost is over the budgeted estimate of $950,000 dollars. City engineer Paul Kaspar said they are still working on getting state permits to fill the lake.
