TxDot SH 30 (Harvey Road) Corridor Plan

TxDOT Bryan District, in collaboration with Brazos County and City of College Station, is developing a corridor plan to improve the SH 30 (Harvey Road) from Associates Avenue to FM 158 in Brazos County, Texas. Corridor plan objectives include enhancing safety, reducing congestion, and improving pedestrian and bicyclist mobility along the corridor.

The plan is being developed in collaboration with the member agencies of the Bryan College Station Metropolitan Planning Organization (BCS MPO), under the 2022 Brazos County Transportation Road Improvement Program, to meet current and future traffic demand attributed to development growth in the area.

Construction is currently not funded....

It is what Battered Aggieland Forum Syndrome dreams are made of: medians multiple roundabouts, something for everyone.

I did not attend the meeting but a neighbor who has been going to these types of meetings went and brought back the intel. She's pretty upset. Alternative A Roundabouts would be untenable - Five Roundabouts on Harvey Road....

I have to say, as a resident of the neighborhood behind Koppe Bridge, I would love the roundabout option.

They just keep changing the roads around here. Gosh!

Roundabouts are great and improve flow and safety.

And city of Bryan specifically said they designed WJB to be so narrow and twisty to slow speed on that road.

Harvey to 158 is a state hwy.

That one proposal has too many roundabouts. I could see possibly one maybe. There is a lot of traffic on this road.

When I first saw it I kept scrolling and had to zoom out and doubletake on it. I travel this road everyday and I just see more wrecks happening with this many roundabouts

Is the work at 30/Hardy Weedon a part of this project, or is that completely separate?

Still wondering what the deal with that is. Was supposed to start in October.

Who told you that? Roundabouts have only very limited use in lower-traffic areas. Something like Lincoln (when they finish it) will work, Holleman Drive West also generally works outside of peak hours, but with roundabouts, you have to yield before entering it, and when you have too many cars trying to go in it basically functions like a four-way stop.

Well, I know there's a lot of people that no longer believe in science, but science told me they are better.

Harvey is not the correct road for traffic circles. The Veterans park road is the correct road for traffic circles. There are some in Houston in high-traffic areas that don't work well at all. If you have a constant stream of cars from your left (i.e. rush hour), it can be an hour before you can legally enter the circle. As CS expands east, traffic will build and those circles will impede a lot of traffic.

While the medians are annoying, I really like the plan that has the extra room to make a u-turn. If medians are going to be forced onto us, at least make the u-turns easier.

Science =/= Non-governmental organization.

And you wonder why people have trust issues.

Large traffic circles work great. Unfortunately, TxDOT doesn't propose those.

Small traffic circles are a real pain for anyone pulling a trailer and are a way to convert a nice 2 lane road into a 1 lane bottleneck.

---

Wrong. Don't make statements of fact when you don't know what you are talking about.

Facts based on research and design principles are available if you want to educate yourself. Roundabouts include truck aprons for trailer overtracking and two lane roundabouts can handle large volumes of traffic efficiently and safely.

I dont think you understand how science works.
Research studies are science.

Tell me what science you would believe.
