What's going on along University between the vet school and 2818? They've got a road cut along University, then it turns back towards F&B about midway to 2818. I didn't know there was anything back there 'cept some stock ponds and pastures that were accessed via the buildings along F&B or Agronomy.

So, what does it mean that the Aggie Field of Honor is in the Bio Corridor?
Old Army would make some kick ass zombies.

City of Bryan P&Z had some overhead transparencies 2 years ago that indicated road improvements and perhaps a grade separation at Wellborn Rd, IIRC, to bring F&B road seamlessly down Old College Ave. and through to South College Ave. near Chicken Oil Co.
So I guess A&M has decided to not follow the Campus Master Plan at all and just continue the sprawl on the west side of campus.
I'm not sure the governor or the chancellor care about the campus master plan.
What's the deal behind the Aggie field of honor? I dropped off some equipment back off the feeder rd to 47. Cleared out a lot big enough for another Wal-mart...
It's a double edged sword, these 'master' plans. The world and the future economies are being reshaped on much shorter timetables these days. Plans that look out 20+ years need some damn creative and visionary people making them to outwit those 'quick on their feet' responders as opportunities arise.
Not that I have a position on the good or evil of 'sprawling' as a social and developmental phenomena....I was an arcologist when I was young, studying the anti-sprawl doctrines of Paulo Soleri and others. The legacies of our current urban sprawl that constitute the cookie cutter corner convenience stores/gas stations/shopping strip centers/etc. may look pretty odd 25 years on, that's for sure.
When you look back at the greatest minds of the past centuries, how many really predicted much about what the future really became. Some say that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Makes good song lyrics......

Which road are you talking about? Off of Turkey Creek or off of 60? 47 doesn't have a feeder road that I know of...
Take the feeder off 60, past the stop sign for the airport to where it dumps into 47. You can see most of the bigger equipment from the road.
That's probably for G Con, the flu antivirus mfg plant going in.
Yep. It's on the second map link above.
Yes G Con! And here I thought our dispatchers had messed up again and ment S Con. Thanks guys.

Still it's odd to spend all that money on a report that tells you that this is the disaster scenario for the A&M campus:
only to go and do it anyway.
... Note the words on that image, "Fantasy plan"
Not only that, but note the omissions--BPL and MSB are not on there correctly. Also none of the new Southside and Northside dorms that are on a five-year schedule.
Humm.. Strange that it is titled "Fantacy" when it was the Master Plan's example of stupid growth (at west campus density).
