Bellaire City Council voted unanimously during a May 4 meeting on the final approval of two speed humps installed on 5400 Braeburn Drive, making the installation permanent.<\/p>\n

How we got here<\/p>\n

City Council had previously approved the installation of the speed-calming measures in June 2025, after 80% of the property owners on the 5400 block of Braeburn Drive signed a petition<\/a> requesting that three speed bumps be added.<\/p>\n

5400 Braeburn Drive is a residential neighborhood block with 23 properties, as previously reported<\/a> by Community Impact.<\/p>\n

After 19 property owners signed the petition and City Council approved the $7,637 project, which was paid for by the residents, it became part of Bellaire\u2019s Neighborhood Traffic Improvement Program.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s new<\/p>\n

During the May 4 meeting, city officials shared that speed data collected by the police department shows vehicular speeding on the block of 5400 Braeburn Drive decreased from 29.1% to 10.1% after two speed humps were installed.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the vehicle count per day also decreased from 903 to 525, according to the statement report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After holding the May 4 second public hearing where residents shared feedback, City Council gave final approval for the speed humps to become permanent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m supportive of it,\u201d council member Jackie Georgiou said. \u201cI think that no matter what, we need to be safe, even if it’s a little troubling to some people, slow down, there are kids out there, there’s somebody’s dog that [they] love.\u201d<\/p>\n
