Good morning, College Station.

Bryan City Council unanimously approved a $4,227,806.50 playground plan for Travis Bryan Midtown Park on Tuesday afternoon — the decision sets the stage for new park improvements.

Interim president Tommy Williams has met with students, faculty, and staff to gather feedback as he works to keep Texas A&M stable.

He said his plan—designed to maintain momentum—will guide the university during the leadership transition.

College Station hosted a candidate forum Wednesday night where five people running for three school board seats shared their goals — voters learned about each candidate's plans.

Bryan is planning a quiet zone downtown by installing wayside horns at 24 railroad intersections to cut loud train noise—tests were positive and local businesses said the change will help the area; the project is set to finish by 2027 although delays are possible.
