The top local stories this evening from the KERA Newsroom: After two weeks of fearful medical news, North Texas got some relief Thursday. A sheriff’s deputy tested negative for Ebola and was released from the hospital.

No one else is showing symptoms. That gives doctors and medical officials a little breathing room and a chance to look back at what might have gone wrong in the case of Thomas Eric Duncan. 

And Bicyclists in car country got some good news: Transportation planners took a $7 million dollar step toward a commuter bike and pedestrian trail reaching from downtown Fort Worth to downtown Dallas.

Hear tonight’s special report from the KERA newsroom.

You can listen to the top local news stories weekdays at 6:20 p.m. and 8:20 a.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
