The $ 7.6 million Bellaire Boulevard roadway reconstruction and bridge project is within 90 days of completion.  The new concrete roadway with drainage improvements, traffic signals, pedestrian lighting, and new bridge design will enhance Southside Place for many years.  During the past decade, Southside Place City Council has secured over $ 8 million in transportation and grant funding from METRO, TXDOT, and Harris County.  Bellaire Boulevard landscaping and lighting in conjunction with TXDOT will begin in April, 2010.

Thank you for your continued patience over the past several years as infrastructure improvements have been made throughout the residential and commercial districts

The new municipal building is on schedule for completion in mid February, 2010.  Brick sidewalk pavers will soon be installed on Edloe and University in the Town Center District.  A city hall grand opening celebration is being planned.  The police station will also be demolished in February to make room for public parking spaces. 

During the last quarter of 2009, sales tax monies increased by $ 16,000 compared to 2008 data.  Please continue to shop within the city limits.  Shoe Cents has recently vacated lease space in the Braes Heights Shopping Center.

Please remember that fireworks are illegal in Southside Place.

Have a Happy and Safe New Year!!!
