Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Brazos County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Utility Meter Upgrade
Bryan Texas Utilities is upgrading electric meters across town over the next five years, so expect a heads-up when they're hitting your neighborhood. These new meters mean smarter tech for your home, though you'll need to watch for installation notices.
Safe Passing Measures
College Station is looking at new "safe passing" rules to make walking and biking around town way less stressful. If passed, drivers will have to give pedestrians and cyclists a lot more breathing room.
County Judge Retirement
Brazos County Judge Duane Peters is stepping down a bit early, wrapping up his long run at the end of 2026. This shakes up local leadership, meaning we'll have a brand new face running county government soon.
Warrant Amnesty
College Station is thinking about a warrant amnesty period, which lets you clear up old tickets and warrants without fear of getting arrested. It's a quick window to wipe the slate clean with the city.
