FM2818 – We all know how bad – come out and see what’s planned to fix it!

The Bryan District of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will be holding an open house meeting regarding proposed corridor improvements along FM 2818 (Harvey Mitchell Parkway) from 0.5 miles north of FM 60 (Raymond Stotzer Parkway) to FM 2154 (Wellborn Road), including widening, intersection upgrades and shared use paths.
This meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 14, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Larry J. Ringer Library, located at 1818 Harvey Mitchell Parkway South in College Station.
The plans under consideration will be on display and TxDOT staff will be available to discuss the proposed project.
Since this is an open house format, no formal presentation is planned. Instead citizens are invited to attend and may come and go at their convenience.
Comments may be made at the meeting or in writing by Nov. 24 to Mr. Chad Bohne, P.E., Bryan Director of Transportation Planning and Development at: TxDOT, 2591 North Earl Rudder Freeway, Bryan, TX 77803. E-mail comments may be sent to Ms. Allison Kurwitz, P.E., with the Bryan District Advance Planning Office at Allison.Kurwitz@txdot.gov.
Any person who has special accommodation needs is encouraged to contract our office at (979) 778-9788.

Texas, Brazos County, Bryan and College Station use Strava Heat Maps

TXDOT licensed Strava data (near real time) for the entire state and is conducting training so our local municipalities can leverage this data.

Just last week the MPO sponsored our local governments to draw out the near and long range cycling routes that connect the cities and Brazos County. We used the 2016 Strava Heat map for that first pass.

While there are limitations (i.e. mostly represents recreational distance cyclists who use Strava) it is a larger set of geo-coded data than they could get any other way.
