Sure, it's a legitimate ask. It's just makes you look like a giant hypocrite when you say part of the reason you close Business A is location and then you ask move Business B in the location of Business A and ask for $100k to do it.

While this project costs a total of $26 million, the City of Bryan committed $2 million for it and additional state and federal funds were made available through the Bryan-College Station MPO Transportation Improvement Program.

Speaking of medians and the area, South College Ave is still closed right there by shipwreck and amico nave. There's been no work on it in 3 months. That project started in July of 2023 and is on pace for a year of construction.

EXOTICK EATZ on MLK. Today it was fried ribs and okra. Healthy portion for $7.
The whipped banana pudding! tea like your grandmother used to make! They have a Facebook page. The food was delicious
The section I'm talking about, and according to the article you posted, was scheduled to be complete by mid-November 2023. If you look at the road in its current state, at a minimum it will take another 3-4 months for completion, and that's once workers actually return. It's been sitting for 3 months now with no workers.BiochemAg97 said:EvenPar said:

If you mean the section of S College by the lake (going north of Villa Maria, that is a pretty extensive project, including replacing underground storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water lines in that area. Original completion of phase 1 was scheduled for Dec 2024.

The stated Dec 2024 completion is for all the way down to Carson St. That's not happening.
r. They are still working, just not near the Villa Maria end of the project zone. No idea of the telecom delay will delay the project past the Dec 24 date. Have big news coming to Aggieland… something I feel is going to change the town for the better.

Bryan's Shipwreck Grill restaurant is sailing across Villa Maria Road to the former Amico Nave restaurant.
The owners of both restaurants received the Bryan city council's approval for a $100,000 dollar grant to develop Shipwreck Grill's new location.
The application from Wade and Mary Beckman shows a ship becoming a part of the exterior of the Amico Nave building.
The grant, from the city of Bryan's corridor beautification grant program, will also go towards improved parking and new signage.
The Beckman's application says they are spending $797,622 dollars on the building, parking, and signage. Another $184,000 is going into equipment and furnishings.
Thanks for posting. Yeah the corridor beautification grant. This is legit.Captn_Ag05 said:https://wtaw.com/bryans-shipwreck-grill-restaurant-is-sailing-across-villa-maria-to-the-former-amico-nave-building/Quote:

Just heard on the radio the Beckman's are asking the city for a $100k grant to move shipwreck to the Amico Nave location.
After their medians comment being a part of why they had to close I'd tell them to kick rocks.
The corridor would really be beautified if they got out there and finished the construction. And that cost is built-in and wouldn't cost the taxpayers an extra $100Kmaroon barchetta said:
No no no.
It's a corridor beautification so it's a "win-win" (unless you are a taxpayer).
And never ever question the mayor. Or a business owner in Bryan.

In the project notes, the update in Oct 13 indicates a delay waiting for a 3rd party telecom provider to relocate the lines they have incorrectly placed. Hopefully that has been done by now and the workers are just in an area you don't see doing the utilities replacements, but telecoms moving lines isn't getting done fast. My wife does environmental permitting for a large telecom. That generally isn't something that is done quickly, partly because they still need to follow the process for permitting, bidding a subcontractor, etc.
ETA: did some recon. There are a couple of side streets at the southern end of the utilities replacement zone that are closed (Bizzell and Edge), but it does not look like they have completed much of that work. Maybe the telecom delay is still on.
Looks like they have been busy doing utility work all the way up to Carson, and there were a few workers present doing that today around 3:30. That is all on the side of the road rather than tearing up the middle of the road at the moment.
The detour zone has expanded over the original detour plan with the closing of Bizzell. That original detour plan was valid until Nov 23. Sure would be nice to see an update on the project page, as the last update was in October.
