1. Bryan residents launch petition to remove Texas Avenue medians (kxxv.com) — Bryan residents are organizing a petition to let voters decide in November whether to remove the controversial medians along Texas Avenue. Supporters say the design hurts business access and slows emergency response, while the City of Bryan notes any valid petition would require a taxpayer-funded election, keeping this a closely watched issue for drivers and business owners. 
2. Legends Event Center generates $30 million for Bryan-College Station economy (kbtx.com) — Legends Event Center is pumping more than $30 million a year into the Bryan-College Station economy, with nearly $16 million coming just from last summer’s sports tourism. As tournaments outgrow the venue, Legends is teaming up with Bryan ISD and Midtown Park facilities, filling local hotels and restaurants and helping position Bryan as a growing hub for youth basketball events.

Mosquito season begins in Brazos County as temperatures increase (kbtx.com) — With warmer weather arriving in Bryan and Brazos County, health officials are warning residents to prepare for a busy mosquito season and potential West Nile risk.
