Arterial Street Pavement Repair Program

The Arterial Street Pavement Repair Program is a multi-year project that will focus on six major arterial streets throughout the City. The main focus of this project will be repairing failing pavement on the arterial streets, along with any associated appurtenances as needed. The repairs will include panel replacement as well as spot and asphalt repairs. Work is being done in segments to limit the impact on motorists.

The first phase will begin this month on Bellaire Blvd. starting at Newcastle, working west towards Chimney Rock. The project will be completed in segments to minimize traffic impacts.

For more information, please contact Bellaire Public Works at 713-662-8170.

Water Safety

Most parents think water safety is first and foremost on their minds whenever they are enjoying summer activities with their young kids. But when the unthinkable happens, caregivers often say, “I only looked away for a second.”

Parents are cautioned all the time about water safety, but drownings still occur. Always be aware and be in the present moment with your children. Following are a few water safety precautions:

Never leave your child alone; if you have to leave, take your child with you
Find age-appropriate swim lessons for your child
Always have a first aid kit and emergency contacts handy
Lifeguards aren't babysitters; always keep your eyes on your child
If a child is missing, check the water first
Get training in CPR
Don't let children play around drains and suction fittings

Every pool, every lake and every warm summer day holds the possibility of new, fun summer experiences. All you need to add is your undivided attention.
