At first, a single pile of pet waste may not seem like a big deal – until you consider that more than 32,000 dogs live in College Station. Our furry friends produce a staggering 24,000 pounds of waste daily. That’s not just a nuisance – it’s a serious environmental and public health concern.

The City of College Station invites residents to share their ideas and help guide the future of the Midtown area at a community workshop on Tuesday, Nov. 18, at 6 p.m. at City Hall. This isn’t just another meeting; it’s a chance to roll up your sleeves and help determine how this part of the city develops.

In this week's episode of "What's Up, College Station?," Staff Planner Ashley Klein discusses the City’s long-range planning efforts, community engagement, nerding out, and the merits of largemouth bass.    

October is National Community Planning Month, a time to recognize those who help shape our cities. Community planning is a shared journey, and we celebrate the partnerships, voices, and ideas that propel us forward together.

Navigating alternative transportation in our community is easy thanks to the Brazos Valley Council of Governments' 2025 Transportation Resource Guide. It provides a comprehensive overview of funding sources, planning efforts, and various transportation options, including buses, shuttles, taxi services, and app-based services.

In case you missed it: At its July 10 meeting, the College Station City Council reviewed the Greater Northgate Small Area Plan Engagement Report. Through extensive, well-publicized outreach efforts, City staff facilitated community input and translated ideas into actionable steps.
