Bryan Woods, College Station City Manager, visits with WTAW’s Scott DeLucia about general fund money, settling the water lawsuit, parking restrictions around campus, the agreement with the Brazos Valley Bombers, new baseball fields at Veterans Park, grant money, and more during his appearance on The Infomaniacs on Friday, July 11, 2025.
July marks 14 years since a landfill was closed on Rock Prairie Road east of the freeway. College Station mayor John Nichols said during the council’s June 26th meeting that the undeveloped part of the property, where the landfill proper was not built, is being considered as a possible site for a new public works complex. Nichols said the Brazos Valley solid waste management agency gave permission to allow the city to conduct soil tests. The mayor’s comments were made as the council learned that design work is 90 percent complete on rebuilding Rock Prairie Road between Fitch and Town Lake, which is the section that includes the former landfill. The current design calls for a three lane road with shared use paths and a separated bike lane. Capital projects director Jennifer Cain said it was possible to make that section a four lane road by taking out the bike lane. Cain also said that decision could be considered after a recommended traffic study, which would be done if the council proceeds with building the public works complex at that location.
