Bayside Area Development Plan

I live in the pope place subdivision. The streets need to be repaved and the sidewalks appear to be original from the 1950s which also need repair. We walk down grant place all the way to doddridge park. There is no cross walk at doddridge parks southern entrance. Lamar Park subdivision needs new roads as well because they have alot of potholes. These streets look like they are 40 years old.

Corpus Christi needs to pay enough to hire and retain experienced landscape managers who understand how to plant native trees, flowers, and shrubs. After plantings are installed, the City needs to devote the water and care needed on a regular basis to allow the plantings to mature and protect its investment. Once those plantings mature in about a year, they will be beautiful and survive long-term with minimal maintenance and water, even through freezes. The key is selecting the right native plants for the right location. Too many ugly and dead spots, too many location-inappropriate plantings allowed to wither and die. Soaker hoses do NOT water enough, given the wind and heat. Black mulch only contributes to killing roots in the heat. Such a waste of a beautiful opportunity currently--let's get that turned around so we can attract tourists to our city and keep those who live here or have moved here, but are thinking about relocating to get away from this kind of ugly scenery and obvious mismanagement.

Lower the speed limit on ocean between Airline and Ennis Joslin. Vehicles use it as a drag strip and there’s no reason the speed limit needs to be 45 anymore. The limit was raised to accommodate traffic from the base, but the base has since dwindled in size.

Install crosswalks and stop protection to connect communities living on the non-waterfront side of Ocean with the parks on the waterfront. It is near impossible to cross Ocean with a family to access the parks.

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

please consider parking garages throught downtown areas including the bay area.

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

why are the stop and go lights so messed up here? you need to invest in better computers so they work together more.

Need to see more.

Interested in reviewing final draft

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.
