Bryan Gears Up for Inner Loop East Highway Project Public Meeting
Exciting times are ahead in Bryan, Texas! The Inner Loop East Study Team, brought in by local commissioners from Brazos County, is set to hold a public meeting on May 6, 2025, from 5 to 7 p.m.. The venue for this gathering will be the fabulous Legends Events Center, located at 2533 Midtown Park Blvd, Bryan, TX 77801. Mark your calendars, folks!
What to Expect
This isn’t your typical meeting with a formal presentation. Instead, community members will have the chance to check out updated study areas and see the proposed routes for the future highway. It’s a great opportunity for everyone to get involved and voice their opinions. With over 600 attendees showing up at the previous meeting in November 2024, there’s no doubt that folks are interested in this project.
The earlier gathering generated a whopping 1,300 comments from residents and property owners, highlighting the strong feelings that are swirling around the proposed loop. With many expressing their concerns, some community members are even calling for an end to the contract with the consulting group, Quiddity.
Your Feedback Matters
It’s important to note that comments for this meeting must be postmarked by May 23, 2025. Those who wish to share their thoughts can do so through various channels – whether it’s by mail, online, email, or even voicemail. This is your chance to be part of the conversation!
What’s the Project About?
The goal of the Inner Loop East project is to enhance north-south connectivity and mobility for the area while anticipating the traffic volume that is expected to grow due to future developments. The proposed new roadway will include connections at SH 6, cross SH 30, and link up with William D. Fitch Parkway in College Station.
What’s really cool is that the study is funded through Brazos County’s voter-approved Transportation Road Improvement Program (TRIP) 2022 Bond. It’s a community initiative that aims to preserve a corridor for travel while also respecting the area’s rich character and agricultural legacy.
Community Involvement
Community involvement is key to guiding the development and decisions surrounding this project. Advocates under the banner of ‘No East Loop’ are actively organizing to educate fellow residents and rally against the highway proposal. Concerns about how the project might affect local properties have driven many to join the cause.
The study team has taken public concerns to heart by adjusting the original study area. They’re working hard to minimize impacts on existing home sites and landowners, reflecting their commitment to collaborating with the community.
Stay Updated
For those who can’t make it to the meeting or want to dive deeper into the details, meeting materials and further updates will be made available online at brazoscountytx.gov/653/Inner-Loop-East starting on May 6th. This is the go-to spot to stay in the loop about everything related to the Inner Loop East project.
This is an important moment for the residents of Bryan. The future of local transportation is at stake, and your voice can make a difference in shaping how things go. Don’t miss this chance to have a say in your community!
