The City is discussing construction of Community Pathways. The $75,000 cost for the study is listed in the 2017 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP):
City of Bellaire Pathways Study. This is an ongoing project and will be discussed in more detail later this year: https://www.bellairecommunitypathwaysplan.com/ Sorry, as of 9/6/2019 this link no longer works. The City of Bellaire has moved or removed the information.

NOTES from the February 20th presentation: The proposed Loop System pathway width may be 8 feet and it runs throughout Bellaire neighborhoods.
PLEASE study the maps included in this presentation. The estimated total cost is approximately $8 – $12 million, not including the cost for rights of way, utility relocation, and other attendant costs. Another $1.5 million is shown for sidewalks.
According to the PowerPoint presentation a survey (Survey Monkey) of Bellaire residents garnered 440 responses, 7 of them non-residents. Let City Council know what you think. Were you aware of the presentation in January or February? I was not. Nothing in the water bill, nothing distributed door-to-door with the trash bags. What do you think? Is it time to organize?
