The top local stories this evening from the ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº 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 ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº newsroom.

You can listen to the top local news stories weekdays at 6:20 p.m. and 8:20 a.m. on ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº 90.1 FM.
