About the Plan

A modern plan for the Bayside area is in the works. City Council gave the approval to start developing a long range, 20-year plan. Boundaries for this area are Morgan Avenue on the north, South Padre Island Drive (SH 358) on the south, Ocean Drive/Oso Bay on the east, and the Crosstown Expressway (SH 286) on the west. This plan will give guidance for future development in the area and identify opportunities to improve existing facilities.

The current plan, adopted in 1995, no longer reflects the current conditions of the area. A new planning process will get updated feedback from the public on existing conditions and the community’s priorities and goals. Once this is complete, the community will identify action steps to achieve goals. Action steps could be an improvement project to city infrastructure or changes to City policy.

Community involvement will be a key part of the process. Over the next year, there will be multiple ways to participate such as surveys and public meetings. Click here to receive email updates about the Bayside Area Development Plan.

Why are there so many bus stops between Robert and Doddridge on Santa Fe? Santa Fe street is getting ruined by the heavy buses.

Overall, the plan is great. I've lived in the Bayside area in the same home for 21 years. Regarding Policy Initiative 2.7, there should also be a component to educate commercial businesses and improve City code enforcement on windblown trash leaving the premises and their parking lots (See Section 22-5 in the City Ordinances; As defined "Food establishment" includes grocery stores and gas stations with markets). Most of it ends up going into the bays via the storm drain system. Regarding Policy Initiative 2.8, the City should continue the ongoing pilot project along the bayfront from Cole Park to the Texas Art Museum and expand it to other outfalls into CC Bay and Oso Bay. EPA offers grants to municipalities for this purpose.

Love the effort. Smart people thinking smart thoughts. One recommendation I STRONGLY SUPPORT IS MORE SHADE TREES. We need LESS palm trees and MORE oak trees. Palm trees are NON-NATIVE and NO Shade. Oak trees are NATIVE and provide SHADE. That simple: LESS PALMS; MORE OAK

In order to alleviate congestion that occurs trying to get across SPID from south to north, the city should purchase all the eyesore houses along Weber, from just past McArdle to SPID. Widen Weber to 6 lanes there. It would dramatically improve the ability to get across SPID.

Please fix my street.....Southbay Drive...Please as it is very rough with potholes that the city fills in regularly but it needs resurfacing. Why did the water bill fee to fix the streets stop? We need to fix the residential streets too.
Parks sound nice but rough streets lower my property value and could hurt our cars. Thanks for all you do!!!

More trees in developed and commercial areas, pedestrian and micromobility friendly. Bus stops with covers for adverse weather. Mixed zone housing, to encourage a more even spread of business zones and easy access in general especially for pedestrian. Almost everything now caters to the car culture and Corpus is a small enough city to encourage more micromobility also making it more environmentally friendly and sustainable.

So like the planning of the City -sending a survey that has been completed. It's hard for me to be interested in a long term plan. I would like to see a 6 month plan - completely repair a street, clean up a park and convert an empty building to something useful. First priority should be a basic cleanup of streets and code enforcement. To much time and money is spent on planning and not enough on completing a job!

Just curious if the work done on the 1995 plan was ever executed. If not, why? If so, what parts of the former plan were actually completed?

I would like to envision and see our great city proper , and grow so that all enjoys it . I would also like to see other treasured parts of our city refurbished and has other districts that can be adored just like Shoreline, other historical areas and other old parts connecting our city. I want to see older sections cleaned up, codes enforced and bring property owners to bring up the standards that we all must adhere to so that the taxes are shared amongst all and not just a few, sub standard housing to be abolished and eradicated which will turn around may areas to show its beauty as well !

What ever happened to the plans for the Pharaoh Country club project? We haven't heard anything about it. That needs to be utilized in some way. The Sunrise mall needs to be demolished. An awful eye sore for our community. Maybe a center with laser tag, paint ball, escape rooms, bowling alley etc. Corpus needs more to do,not just see..ie: the beach, Lexington, Aquarium etc. We need to move forward..nit be stagnant in our growth.

When did the survey time frame start? I am surprised that it is already closed, thought that it was going to be available for a little longer. I would like to know what questions were in the survey.
