Brady City Plans Vast Changes for Business District
A public briefing to Brady City Council outlined a long range plan to reshape the central business district into a park like, traffic free area with tree lined parking. The plan includes moving the courthouse to East Commerce Street creating a governmental center with City Hall Fire and Police buildings and a federal office. A loop road along Richards Street would divert traffic, and two large shopping centers are envisioned in the northwest section under the levee to preserve downtown merchants.
