An initial phase of work from the state and the city could begin within the next three years, Dunn said, with improvements such as landscaping and treatments along the median and each side of the road. However, the entire eight-mile stretch will have to be done over several years, and could take decades to complete, Dunn said.
I think the priority is or should be moving the electric poles off Texas Ave. in Bryan.

For what its worth, there is a plan to put a median on every TxDOT road in every city in the state. William J Bryan/Boonville, Highway 30, George Bush, Peach Creek Road, Highway 21, etc. Every last one of them. They'll do all of them "as funding becomes available". Only thing different between them is construction schedule...

The same as the "need" for medians.....aesthetics. Drive Tx Ave from south CS to north Bryan and notice the difference.
