I stay away from that entire part of town unless I absolutely have to go there. You are correct about that particular point as well.Bunk Moreland said:
Sure. It wasn't a failure but I don't think it was made obsolete from the University & longmire/RP locations.
That area of Texas Avenue was much more accessible 10-15 years ago. It's an absolute nightmare now with traffic, increased students etc. Just getting in and out of that parking lot has changed dramatically in 10-15 years.

The consultants also responded to mayor Andrew Nelson's announcement that an indoor sports and multipurpose building at the new superpark will be completed in the next 18 to 24 months.
I looked at the story and map, which showed Old College being turned into a private road from South College to TM5s Howdy Place. I'm not sure how much I like that. A lot of people use that road to get from South College to Wellborn and the work around by J Cody's seems like it'll be a pain.Captn_Ag05 said:
Some additional information and quite a few pictures regarding the Bryan Midtown project: http://wtaw.com/2019/08/07/bryan-city-council-and-planning-and-zoning-commission-support-consultants-ideas-for-midtown-district-zoning/
Because horseblinders. Rarely are these negative side effects considered. If they are considered they are easily justified or discarded due to the need to achieve the vision.redd38 said:
Yeah, North St will be the way to go, but why force traffic through a residential area instead of through a commercial area?
I use all 3 ways to get from my part of Bryan to campus - Villa Maria to Wellborn, Broadmoor to North to Old College to Wellborn, and Villa Maria to South College to Old College to Wellborn, so yes, I agree there are options. Like I said, I hope it works out for all involved. And I'm fairly sure city staff checks these threads and this is how I would prefer to voice my opinions.dgonzo99 said:
I go down North Avenue everyday going to work. A ton of traffic already use that route. People go down Broadmoor and cross over to North Avenue. No problems whatsoever. Never use the portion of Old College that will be cut off. Have total faith in our city engineers. Besides, this design is preliminary. If you don't like it, go to one of the many meetings and voice your opinion. They would love to hear from you.
I liked the Kung Pao chicken myself, But, yeah, it probably been a year or more since I had been there myself (funny, though, as I had thought about going by sometime this week). True, the food hadn't been as consistent as in the past, but had mainly put it off as I try to avoid going into College Station as much as possible anymore these days.Heismenberg said:
Man I hate to hear about Jimmy John's near Target but at least there are a couple other locations. I didn't know Pei Wei was tanking. Maybe I'm part of the minority, but I LOVED Pei Wei. But I also have to admit it's probably been close to a year or longer since I had been there. Their kung pao beef was the bomb.
Yeah, nothing more fun that to be stuck at a red light on a side road crossing 29th Street at 11:00 at night, without a single car passing either way for five minutes. You would think with today's computer automation, that setting up a system that would modify the light cycles to the time of day and traffic levels would be no big deal, but apparently it is. I guess until someone that works for city hall gets inconvenienced, nothing is going to change.agrab86 said:I use all 3 ways to get from my part of Bryan to campus - Villa Maria to Wellborn, Broadmoor to North to Old College to Wellborn, and Villa Maria to South College to Old College to Wellborn, so yes, I agree there are options.

BTW, I lost total faith in our city engineers first when they couldn't even get stop-light timing even remotely correct (still can't) and then with their whole array of "traffic calming" methods like circles and humps and such.
It is on the City of Bryan website. Been there for months. I disagree with a previous comment that it is better to complain on sites like these than complain in person at one of the many meetings about the project. I doubt if they have the time to go through dozens of posts on websites like this or Facebook. Go to the source and give your opinions. I do. The website should give you all the info you need.Captn_Ag05 said:
Is there a website with the details on the different districts of proposed midtown?
Looks like it replaced the foot prep business (Mom's Meals, way back when). Appears to be a place to get private cooking lessons: https://www.cookngrow.com/PS3D said:
There's a place called "Cook N Grow" on Harvey Mitchell along the strip of stores catty-corner to Walmart.
Yes, https://www.bryantx.gov/midtown/Captn_Ag05 said:

Just wait for Greg D's review on Yelp. Once he's reviewed it, then it's only a matter of days before it actually opens...Collectonian said:
Also while Colony Park (the shopping center at Boonville & the feeder road) this evening, I noticed there was a sign up for College Town Sushi between T Jin and Subway. I couldn't tell if it was open yet or not, but looks like Weitzman already has it up on a recent site plan so maybe.

The latest I heard is that Bryan is trying to get in their midtown development.Broncos said:
What happened to the Top Golf-like establishment that we were rumored to be getting?
I would think it would be on the opposite corner rather than replace an existing structure.PS3D said:https://www.kbtx.com/content/news/New-Kyle-Field-themed-grocery-store-being-built-near-campus-557878691.htmlChampsAg said:
