Bellaire schedules May 4 public hearing after resident complaint about speed‑hump spillover
Summary
Council called a second public hearing for May 4, 2026 on speed humps on the 5400 block of Braeburn Drive after a written comment warned that piecemeal installation on Pine Street had diverted traffic and increased speeds on neighboring streets.
Council approved an ordinance on the consent agenda April 6 to schedule a second public hearing on May 4, 2026 regarding traffic‑control devices and speed humps on the 5400 block of Braeburn Drive. The motion to call the hearing passed without dissent.
A written comment from Michael Parmet, a Braeburn resident, urged council to reconsider the recently installed speed bumps on Pine Street and warned those installations had redirected traffic onto Braeburn and Holly Streets. Parmet asked the council to adopt a data‑driven traffic management plan and to consider removal or equity measures if traffic displacement is occurring. The public hearing on May 4 will provide an opportunity for in‑person comment and further staff analysis.
