Big and wide . Our Pearland community stretches 14 miles on FM 518/Broadway from the eastern border with Friendswood at the Galveston County line, not far from where updates to Independence Park are underway to the western border in Fort Bend County at FM 521/Almeda Road near our new Shadow Creek Ranch Sportsplex. The completion of the Bailey Road widening project will help ease the mobility of our 119,700 residents in our 48 square miles who rely so heavily on FM 518/Broadway. More help is

coming with McHard Road and Smith Ranch Road and Hughes Ranch Road. Check out our projects inventory for the amazing amount of work in investment that your city government is delivering with your support and local resources. Such a big and wide footprint of the city stretches the essential public services we provide. Park, Fire, Police and Public Works are all the things that our excellent staff is committed to delivering across the miles here. The ‘barbell’ of the city layout, with most dense population densities on either end, was on display when we received a report from a consultant looking at our Fire Department standards of coverage and staffing. That consultant worked closely with our own staff experts to blend fresh eyes and expertise with our home-grown local experts. We went through a similar process last year with our police department. Such examinations are meant to ensure we are always improving and never resting on our laurels (see the results of the latest citizen perception survey where you told us that local City services are well-regarded) . The fire study particularly pointed out that even with additions and changes already invested, we can only really improve our response times and coverage with additional stations. Additional stations require staffing and equipment. So, we are committed to developing a plan and working on budgets to prepare recommendations for our City Council elected leaders to consider and balance with many pressing and critical needs to deliver an environment with a quality of life proposition that keeps you in Pearland. People continually want to come to join us in this big and wide community thanks to our balanced value proposition. The whole picture of community quality of life is improving and getting better and better, thanks to your support and the work of our dedicated public servants.
