Frank if they would build it 100 feet longer it would be worth paying 3-5 bucks to get on it . Out there is a drop off and drum and sharks hit real good . I use to go there when there was a couple of 2X12 to climb on before they opened it. In the summer 2 guys that had a surf board and would paddle baits out there and caught a hammerhead that me and my brother help load into their red Datsun and the tail stuck out about 3 feet !!! I think they needed a bigger truck . I think they lived on Del Mar street the 3rd house up.
I really want to be positive that Corpus Christi has the potential to dream this big and to actually see it through without taxing the developers out of existence!
Love the positivity we need more of it to change this old timers that have been keeping Corpus from growing for their own selfish agendas. But we have a new city assistant manager from San Antonio who is more progressive. See this city has been doing the same for 20 years. It was maybe 4 years ago that new people came in and slowly started the process of changing it. But because most of Corpus is under poverty level and alot of people have homestead exemption, meaning they aren't paying taxes on their homes, they are not putting anything back into Corpus. We need a new mayor in 2020 one who is not a part time mayor. Yeah our current and last mayor were part time mayors?!! I mean common now!
Change is needed regardless if people don't like it or not. Too many people want Corpus to remain a sleepy town, untouched and broken down. The mindset of the residents have to change as well. As someone who grew up in the F. Bluff area I have tons of ideas for this area as well.
If you grew up in F. Bluff area - you might be interested in what our son-in-law is opening there near the base: ua-cam.com/video/HDJniP1UegY/v-deo.html
Are you kidding, me Corpus Can't take care of what it has. How long have the water gardens & Ocean Dr. fountain been broken. Where are the Columbus Ships now. How about the wind generators on the bay front. Look at landscaping all around town, drive down Yorktown and take a look at that landscaping investment. How much was spent on the downtown streets, on an area of town that is dead? Lets fix the streets here now, Before adding another albatross of a project we can't afford or keep up. Should we talk about the old dilapidated federal court house that has been an eyesore for the 40 yrs I have lived here? If Current city government and management vote for this project, I say fire them it's our money there spending foolishly.
I wholeheartedly understand and can relate to where you're coming from, we can do better...we should do better and I promise you as a citizen of this nation & great city we will do better. Losing hope is the first to degrade us as one body, we only move forward together. Structural change is needed on all levels in my city & it shall be done.
Small minded folk are the reason this hasn't become a reality yet! Stop being so negative I don't see you at the city counsel meetings trying to change the old city money that is affecting this city for the past 20 years. Instead of just voicing your negatively on here why don't you stand up for what you want and be the change you want to see. Go to city hall ask questions do something. Elect a new mayor that is not only a part time mayor or a realtor.!!! Get your head out your butts Corpus Christians. You forget you have a voice?? Use it!!!!
Umm excuse me, I could have, and still change fix them, At half the cost, and at a +35% speed from start to finish, and more efficiently. Than this hack of an engineering. Also do yall know why those waters stopped working!?
Y’all dream big but can’t even fix the roads , how do you plan on bringing people in if the people already here can barely afford the cost of living fix youre economy first
I've lived in Corpus 2 1/2 years and I think the cost of living is among the lowest in the nation except for restaurants, which makes sense since its a large tourist economy. I read the road repair budget doubled for next year to fix the bad roads. What Corpus seems to be missing is large employers, and projects like the bridge will help. See the bridge video.
So why should it be the longest/tallest bridge in south Texas? Does it have to be at that length to satisfy the project’s ultimate goal? In addition, the city and it surrounding neighborhood isn’t the best with its current council and board members. Is there any plan to set aside a certain amount to help develop the bridges’ surrounding area?
@@RnWSolutions big love for texas from asia. Idk why people always complaining. This project really help local economy. Maybe local can't live there because economy problem but can take advantage from tourism and being rich if they smart enough. I will move to texas soon LEGALLY. MAGA
I agree! Lol people will drive across the new bridge just to look at all the hood houses and be greeted by the falling apart court house. 😂 Welcome Corpus!
Worked and lived there in the late 60's and early 70's. When i wasn't working on an offshore drilling rig, I stayed at the Old Ebb Tide motel on north beach. lotta memories.
San Antonio, Austin and Houston are awesome and so many things to do. So try to copy their downtown areas. San Francisco's wharf is beautiful with restaurants, market place, clothing stores and the wharf is just beautiful! We should do something like that!
@ Joseph Smith : Yep, stay way from those motels on North Beach. It is ashame that developers have not took advantage and build a nice place to stay in that area. However, there are great spots to stay at . Corpus parks are nice and Mustang Island State Park is a great spot to camp. Super clean .
Myself and a friend are planning on going sometime this yr, I keep looking at hotels, but none of them look like they’re kept up. I mean the Omni of all places should be one that’s refurbed and kept up to Omni’s standards. Doesn’t appear to be though.
I love Corpus Christi and have lived here all my 68yrs. But, I will not be a traveler over the new bridge. It's tramatic enough going over the old Harbour bridge as it is now, and to make it taller would be a nightmare for me!
I think we can work on making things beautiful in our own neighborhoods and areas while this is going on, this project is long term, we can still do things now to make it great!
The plan is to bring in more tourists. That brings in more revenue and therefor pays for the taxes to build around the beautiful work. Thus cleaning up the city and ridding of the crimes and useless buildings that take up space to build homes and other beautiful things. People are moving here from all across the country to Texas. The time is now.
Props to the render. I am a Landscape Architecture student and really find this intriguing. I wish CC would be more of a destination but really only people from Texas or Oklahoma consistently visit. I always though it would be cool if CC could be the Las Vegas of Texas. I think casinos might do well and put CC on the map.

profiles, gambling in casinos is banned in the state of Texas. Personally though, I feel like we need more shopping and dining options to get more tourists. We need to take lessons from other thriving cities, maybe instead of focusing our advertising on La Palmera and its rather boring stores, we should add a new mall on the map similar to the Riverwalk in San Antonio or Ala Moana Center in Honolulu. Thats personal opinion though, feel free to differ.
My opinion I think Corpus Christie has the potential for this makeover on north beach Whitch is long overdue.. there’s that saying “build it and they will come 😀✌️”
😂😂😂😂 How about focusing on helping the community that looks like it’s from the 1900s with ugly bitter people ? Been in corpus for 3 years and corpus has scarred my soul and made me into a serious person trying to just make it home with road ragers and violent people with ccpd just asleep in their cars .
Fun fact, road ragers are everywhere...as is sleep, I understand your point however and I agree that if any person takes upon the role to protect and serve during their work hrs, should not be sleeping on the job. I understand your concerns and frustrations, but we must not lose hope.
Nessa_eats93 been in corpus bout 20 and the only thing that’s changed is a couple new stores in the shopping centers and more meth heads swinging their arms and jaw walking the streets

Well I am looking but don't see much. I just posted the video but not involved in project. Here is a new tour video showing the area: ua-cam.com/video/OTOe6nsB9Dw/v-deo.html
This should've been done yesterday !!!.... I love it, and hope it becomes a reality soon, we need to make Corpus Christi beautiful for locals and visitors, I wish we had a zoo also, but most of all new streets all over, lighting, it seems like they always forget the poor areas, when taxes are charged mainly to the poor.... tax breaks go to the rich, the system should be ashamed . I hope I get to see it, looks too ambitious, an utopia to me, maybe in 40 years ?. it takes the right people running this city,......... honest with a passion for our city AND it's people.

Looks and sounds good but honestly we don’t have the right people running the city, city management is terrible and infrastructure sucks. We can’t take care of the Crap now, what makes them think we can take care of a utopia like this. For example, the fountains downtown are not working right now even though they are installed(waste of money), the small turbines on shoreline that are supposed to be generating power ended up being some retarded decorations, they could of tore down the old court house piece of crap last year(2018) but the city took a small $1.9 million grant for renovation instead back in 2002 even though it still looks like shit and haven’t made it look nicer, the mayor likes to cut law enforcement money. This is just naming a few...corpus shouldn’t have anything nice until someone cleans house on the board and city management.

I like everyone is negative. "I've been living in Corpus for two years, three years." You've been in Corpus for a short while so quit it with your negativity. This is going to cost a lot and to be honest I was shaking my head because this might not happen; but I also said to myself, I hope they are able to complete this for locals and visitors. The roads may be too off on the illustration but I didn't blur out negativity and saying drugs will not make this dream come true. I hope for the best for the poor areas for I know that particulate area and it's not good. I hope one day they will get more of the help from the city than this dream. I hope for the best of the city of CC. CC is my second home, been visiting since I was 4, now 23. I love good change but not corrupted change. I love CC and its change recently. But negativity isn't going to take you no where. The dream is too big but one by one, piece by piece, it'll happen. SA is building a low income apartment in downtown, if that's successful, considered that same project with yours. God bless you and the city board.
Yeah nobody in Corpus wants this though. I don't want it my neighbors don't want it we spoke they didn't listen. I pay attention to the city kids my age in their 20s don't.
@@GorlicBreadz If that's the case, why are they having the illustration. Y'all need to enforce this vote for no and elect better board members. People need to make then hear your voice but not violently but constant annoying them. Its common sense. Nobody likes their voice not heard but if you need a big change you need to get off your chair and make a large large group to attack the project rather sit in the corner and wait till they hear y'all. Although the city mayor from the CC and the other members might not be the person you thought they can make a good change. Everything is for you in your hands, start groups, I hope to give you the best of luck but y'all can't vote and wait, you need a final solution from the whole ity to the project members. I hope your voice is heard.
@@zuritachi7689 You honestly think people haven't? I see you keep responding like you have all the answers. We went to the city and tried telling them. They are corrupt.
@@GorlicBreadz Who said I have all the answers? I do not. But I do work within the District office of my city. I know many people who had failed, failed at what they are trying to accomplish until they make groups and had holdings. Nobody is going to listen to you until you make it right. You might no had a great group, might of been something wrong within. Failure is never an option to the democracy. Still, there are many options to succeed, without anger and violence. Faith in doing what you are going to do is the right way. Y'all have many options and opportunities to do whats right. This is a TV show that I am going to mention, Parks and Recreation. The main character was always optimistic and knew what was right. Her dream came true when she work as a councilwoman and made a park. Its a TV show but it was a successful dream. I think that's we need. Faith, optimistic attitude, and a public voice. Don't fall, y'all will do a great job during your journey with this project. But maybe is good for the economy, more revenue, more visitors, more money into the city's pocket. Who knows this project might be good. We all don't know what it will do for the city. But whatever your stand is, believe it. Hope you are able to fight this. God bless you and your journey.
@@zuritachi7689 you still don't get it. You're still replying like you have all the answers. I understand what you're saying but if you fail to understand that people HAVE tried in different ways and they failed. Do you live in Corpus Christi? If so then you'll understand our city council if not then stop commenting like you know it.
I lived on North Padre in the early 90s. Ive been all over world since since then, but i miss North Padre and Corpus. Im retired now and im considering moving back to North Padre. I hope this project is nearing completion. Im posting this in mid May, 2023.
Did you ever move back to North Padre? Unfortunately this project has been delayed by the 5 year delay in replacing the harbor bridge. That is supposed to complete spring 2025.
@@RnWSolutions Not at the present. My son and his family are nearby in Round Rock, so we stay close. The prices on the island have escalated considerably as well.
What will happen to Timon Blvd? This was named for my great uncle who was County Judge and State Representative back in the early 1900's. He was an integral part of the construction of the historical Nueces County Courthouse and the seawall.
I’ve been hit by two cars on purpose in the last year and been burglarized once. Abused by the police and local hospital and the VA isn’t helping me with my anxiety or mental health but because I’m stuck here after building a house and the virus.. I’m f’ed I built this town, and used to have connections to the mayor and several high offices. Not anymore, and it doesn’t help my severe anxiety at 63 knowing that I have no one to help me with crime health care or a district attorney who gives a damm. Thanks for your service.. my butt I was a volunteer in the Vietnam era.. a Corpsmen and worked all my life in Corpus, but have never been made to feel so alone as I am in serious trouble with absolutely nobody to help. I shouldn’t be treated like this, but I’m sure you’re busy with the virus.. I’m just hoping to get it, and soon because I don’t want to go on living knowing that there’s literally no one I can call for help, or even protect me from the anxiety it’s causing knowing that I don’t even matter. The first person I met in corpus had gold paint on his face because huffing gold was a better high on the T head to get away from Corpus he said. So at sixteen I told him that I had lifelong vacations in Florida and Corpus was paradise in comparison. So after walking to the L head I saw the ambulance loading this kid my same age up after returning to the dock to huff falling in to drown and literally throwing his life away. I was down here because of the passing of my dad in Chicago, and my brother was the manager of the coliseum. But most of all because I believed that I had my whole life ahead of me.. I now wish I could have joined my new friend, because he was right.. Corpus Christi is a great place as long as you are connected, or rich? Other than that.. you’re better off jumping into the bay!
Hi Limown please come to New Life Church in the Sunrise Mall and we will make sure you are not alone! We have a men’s lunch every Tuesday and would love to meet in person.
Is this bike friendly? Is the neighborhood closed affordable and can someone bike from their home to the beach area without being run over or caught in traffic? I'm from Chicago and this is a very bikeable City but it's ridiculously cold. I also don't want to be around a bunch of ghetto people. It has to be safe.
@@jonb3167 I changed my mind when I saw how humid it gets in the summer. I'll keep looking for my ideal location safety and entertainment and water and affordability. I hate ghetto.

I love the idea of it, but as someone who has lived on North Beach, this seems like a stretch. But I really hope they manage to do it for the wildlife. But our bay is very littered, and that’s not just going to disappear.
The pedestrians walking on the side of the bridge are Bridge Jumpers because of the 15 yr construction, causing traffic delays. C.C. city that never sleeps ( Crack Heads , KUSH ), beaches with Red tide, floating diapers and Flesh eating bacteria !😂
Yeah I'm sorry but it's not going to happen in that time frame and use a company that has a fail rate in building bridges. The city needs to take care of the rest of the city as far as the economy..could of had bass pro shop and brought in a ton more money but nope..and then the HUGE failure of a so called water park..I have sprinklers that are more fun and dont cost 40 to 70 a person. Also fix the roads and stop redoing the ones you already do over and over and over again. Then this city can finish a big project cause they need to kick all the city council people out and allow new and young people in cause they know what's thriving and help bring in money. Then the Crime is just horrible and nothing gets done. I've lived her for 30 years and have seen this town throw away great ideas to bring in money and to make this a better city but it's just gone down hill yeah after year and getting worse and worse. I'm sorry to say this but it's the truth and the city doesn't listen to us people that stuff there pockets full while we get screwed yeah after year. But I'll be taking the long way around and not going on that bridge cause of who is building it..and the city wants to cheap out and then when something goes wrong guess who has to pay...us tax payers constantly pay for they mistakes and wrong decisions. I can keep going but the ones that lived here for years know what I'm talking about.
You do realize this project isnt the bridge project right? Did you actually watch and listen or just saw the bridge and stopped there? It's a canal to address drainage and infrastructure in North Beach...or are you referring to the tiny bridge over the canal??? 🤔
@@simsam6582 no I watched that whole video sadly. The bridge isn't gonna happen in that time frame, and north shore will be another failure that doesn't get finished. They said they were going to fix it up years ago..got started and ditched the project like they do with anything else of that scale. The only thing keeping that area alive is the Aquarium and the Lexington. And just say by chance they do finish it all it would be a 10 to 15 year project before it got done. Don't get me wrong I would love to see this finished in a timely manner and would definitely help out tremendously, but the city always drops the ball on major major projects. Seen it to many times in the 30 plus years I've lived here.
Idk hopefully when that bridge finally gets finished and we get to bring in the supertankers hopefully corpus starts making more money and these project's will be a thing
@@C4AJ I agree with you 100 percent, cause were already one of the largest ports but the old bridge is limited to what can come in. Once its finished and the supertankers can finally start coming in like you said will boost the city's economy and bring in more jobs which equals more money coming in. I really do hope they can finish it in a timely manner along with Northshore cause all of that really needs addressed and bring back to life. Plus itll help get ride of most..not all but most..of the drug problems there. I stopped going to Northshore cause I was tired of seeing needles, pipes ect..and all the trash left behind all over the beach. I don't want to step on a needle nor do I want my kids to see any of that. When we do it's to go to the aquarium or the Lexington and then we leave that area. But it would be awesome to see it done so the city can start booming again.
@@mikeb0261 well the first vote passed today and there is a bit of a difference on the TIRZ for this project...the tax funds HAVE to get used for this. I understand the timeliness that you speak of...but the developer putting this together has been known to make this happen in other cities...he just needs to see the commitment from our council, which he saw today. He has invested his own money as well...this might actually happen.
Just hit a pot hole 7 times on the way to work this morning but sure!!! Let’s build a bridge. We live here. I just higherups have no idea what they are doing.
We need to revive the downtown area by adding more shops, outlets, and better public spaces. Also by adding better housing for the homeless population would be amazing. Let’s make it as gorgeous as Florida or the California coast, Corpus has so much potential but the leaders lack initiative and innovation.
If we keep insisting on improvements we will get it. Change is initiated by the people. Also, did you see the new homeless shelter plan? www.ccbiznews.com/news/red-roof-inn-to-become-new-corpus-christi-homeless-shelter
Our city Council is a joke they have champagne taste on a beer budget!! roads aren’t even close to being decent and you’re thinking about stuff like this you should be ashamed of yourselves.
And have you been to Dallas? Corpus is not the hood. Yeah most of the residents are under poverty level. But who's responsibility is it for us to make something of ourselves and bring in more money to our economy?? Its ours and ours alone. Take responsibility for yourself before you can see it reflected in the city you speak so highly of...
Love the positivity we need more of it to change this old timers that have been keeping Corpus from growing for their own selfish agendas. But we have a new city assistant manager from San Antonio who is more progressive. See this city has been doing the same for 20 years. It was maybe 4 years ago that new people came in and slowly started the process of changing it. But because most of Corpus is under poverty level and alot of people have homestead exemption, meaning they aren't paying taxes on their homes, they are not putting anything back into Corpus. We need a new mayor in 2020 one who is not a part time mayor. Yeah our current and last mayor were part time mayors?!! I mean common now!
They’re making the bridge taller so we can fit bigger ships like cruise ships. That will help boost the economy and then maybe 10 years later Corpus will be much nicer
I had a dream about 12 years ago that by the Lex. We put a Cement wall then it had red brick sidewalks and every 20 yards there was rings with palm trees in it . People had a grand opening and us citizens of Corpus were really proud. Yeah I know it was just a dream??????
@@RnWSolutions no it won't the trenches and canal would just over flow. When it rains just like a river does is North Beach already above sea level. In any case y'all just want to make money don't let y'all's greed ruin my city even further😥
@@jvee6683 we are not involved in the project, I copied and posted the video because it's a good idea for our city. North Beach is stuck 50 years in the past and could be so much more. It floods like crazy, you just want to keep it that way?
I love love love the Idea. I just hope I have a job still. If this is the case, us hospitality workers will have to start looking elsewhere for work in a few years. Id love to be apart of this. Its going to be amazing. I get we have to fix the city as a whole but come on everyone this would add life. Itll add a whole new energy to help us strive for a better city all around.
@@simsam6582 because im sure they will shut down lots of businesses for the construction of this sir. Besides I work across the bridge right now and theres already talk of my hotel being sold for it.
@@mleon3384 its mam...and if your hotel is sold.. .itll probably stay there until the 3 new hotels come. Dont forget there are 2 major attractions over there that draw in large crowds...I doubt they would leave them in a lurch. There's construction right now...so....?
@@simsam6582 oh lol sorry Maam, your names confusing. Yes theres construction of the Bridge nothing else. But never the less I hope again im not out of a job. Ill have to come back this way and I want to stay where im at. Ive already learned everything. The Hospitality business isnt easy. People suck. And a restaurant job pffft even worse let me tell you.
Hmm - who is "you"? I take it you are referring to Corpus Christi which is not me. Besides, the bridge is 70 years old and only designed to last 50 years so I'd say its outlived its usefulness. Change is hard, but it is a given.
@@cheknecht3092 yep the biggest ships we can fit on are docks and under that bridge is sub 950 footers while over in Ingleside they get 1200ft+ big ass ships over there
This looks similar to what you see at Fort Lauderdale (the ICW). It would be a beautiful improvement to the town, which I love, but dang... y'all definitely need to do something about the neighborhood streets. I know why everyone in Texas drives trucks! 🤣
For sure, agree! Actually they are slowly improving - but where they are making improvements makes NO SENSE! Seems like they improve the streets that don't need it and ignore the streets that really need it.
Hurricane Hanna, Harvey, Celia, shows clearly why specific areas should not be developed. But many people do make poor financial decisions all the time. This will be one more example. Dubai and Singapore, we can build mistakes too.
Did you sustain any damage from any of those storms? We did not, we are 4 blocks from the bay and things were pretty mild. Anything along any coast is in the line of a storm. That's why we build to hurricane code.
@@RnWSolutions Revamping North Beach is nothing new. Bottomline, it's a concern about "fresh water." Any development south of San Antonio is high risk. South Texas operates solely on "watershed" water sources, and it's not a "sustainable" water source. You can build to the strength of "meteor or EMF" code, people will buy then later move and sell. Sustainable water sources is the only guaranteed success for developing a metropolis that will draw a permanent populous.
Why didn’t the the bridge engineers just design the cable towers to run throughout the whole length of the 5 football fields that new bridge will become???? That would’ve looked even better than the current new design on the bridge, and the old Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge.
we are not too many local businesses got a chance out there because he's already picked a business is he wants out there so it's pretty much just for him..
Big dream, you thank you live in Dubai. Corpus City Council will never approve anything such as this unless they get direct profits in their own pockets. I remember when they turned down Tilman Fertitta when he proposed a great entertainment concept for one of the T-heads.
Roads are beat to shit and each time I was there people would hit me up for money for drugs I spent quite a bit of time working out there. This would be awesome for Texas
Except those who harbour irrational opinions such as these will unfortunately be the ones to fail by their own cause. If hope is not born, if healthy vision doesn't lie within us of course things will fail...but not this time. Together we are stronger.
@@Whatistheyouth except..the company building the bridge has nothing to do with this project completely separate....so it has nothing to do with this video.
This is some funny shit. Don't get me wrong I love the idea but North Beach is so bad. Also I love how they don't show the true Corpus view...Refineries. That is really what this place is all about. Ugly no matter what.
Indeed, Structural change is needed on all levels in my city & it shall be done. I'm proposing upping our security systems firstly, in which all threats incoming and outgoing shall have no place of harbour...as well as technical security all around the city. Tackling the so called pipe dreams of a green and clean city will no longer be just a dream, for you are right there are too many refined oil companies damaging the sanity and health of our city...but none of those workers deserve to be without jobs, the only change will be on the physical properties of oil refinery plants, cutting some away to make way for a more greener output of an energy efficient city. Btw Tesla coming to the city is a great step.
What makes this city think that by putting canals into this project will work. People water will level itself out. If a storm or even high tide comes in north beach will still be under water. The canals can't stop the water. Water will just rise up within the canals. Remember water will level out.
Property taxes are so high, that it’s driven out home buyers and you literally have a city of renters, which has made the crime levels skyrocket. All the kids parks here are riddled with unemployed drug addicts & sex offenders. The streets have more potholes than a block of Swiss cheese. But no drive away small businesses with the high taxes, and spend $1billion on a bridge so we can get a neat view of how dirty the entire city is.
It's amazing how they have all these plans but yet can't fix one of the biggest attractions to the city which is Cole Park Pier
It's still busted?!
It’s condemned and closed
Thank you!
there already planning on fixing it hopefully it wont take to long

I hope Corpus Doesn't end up looking like a 90's PC game 🎮.
Vice city!!!
Lmao I live around here and I 100% gurentee you the place will never look like this😂
CC has the potential but I agree with you..leadership needs to change!
💯
If you wanna improve cc, get rid of city council and find better people. Water bills are too high also.
Rudy Garza the only man we need
Love the positivity we need more of it to change this old timers that have been keeping Corpus from growing for their own selfish agendas. But we have a new city assistant manager from San Antonio who is more progressive. See this city has been doing the same for 20 years. It was maybe 4 years ago that new people came in and slowly started the process of changing it. But because most of Corpus is under poverty level and alot of people have homestead exemption, meaning they aren't paying taxes on their homes, they are not putting anything back into Corpus. We need a new mayor in 2020 one who is not a part time mayor. Yeah our current and last mayor were part time mayors?!! I mean common now!
They passed it! See - facebook.com/rnwsolutions/posts/2323605871221418
Change is needed regardless if people don't like it or not. Too many people want Corpus to remain a sleepy town, untouched and broken down. The mindset of the residents have to change as well. As someone who grew up in the F. Bluff area I have tons of ideas for this area as well.
If you grew up in F. Bluff area - you might be interested in what our son-in-law is opening there near the base: ua-cam.com/video/HDJniP1UegY/v-deo.html
Hello Sydnee..Look you are 100% right on this and that is what will prevail, your ideas.. so don't give up on them. Together, we all move foward.
@@atleeosmosis8120 heck yeah!!!
Hit the nail on the head.
Are you kidding, me Corpus Can't take care of what it has. How long have the water gardens & Ocean Dr. fountain been broken. Where are the Columbus Ships now. How about the wind generators on the bay front. Look at landscaping all around town, drive down Yorktown and take a look at that landscaping investment. How much was spent on the downtown streets, on an area of town that is dead? Lets fix the streets here now, Before adding another albatross of a project we can't afford or keep up. Should we talk about the old dilapidated federal court house that has been an eyesore for the 40 yrs I have lived here? If Current city government and management vote for this project, I say fire them it's our money there spending foolishly.
Fix Everhart from Yorktown all the way to just past Staples.
I wholeheartedly understand and can relate to where you're coming from, we can do better...we should do better and I promise you as a citizen of this nation & great city we will do better. Losing hope is the first to degrade us as one body, we only move forward together. Structural change is needed on all levels in my city & it shall be done.
Small minded folk are the reason this hasn't become a reality yet! Stop being so negative I don't see you at the city counsel meetings trying to change the old city money that is affecting this city for the past 20 years. Instead of just voicing your negatively on here why don't you stand up for what you want and be the change you want to see. Go to city hall ask questions do something.

Umm excuse me, I could have, and still change fix them, At half the cost, and at a +35% speed from start to finish, and more efficiently. Than this hack of an engineering. Also do yall know why those waters stopped working!?
Y’all dream big but can’t even fix the roads , how do you plan on bringing people in if the people already here can barely afford the cost of living fix youre economy first
I've lived in Corpus 2 1/2 years and I think the cost of living is among the lowest in the nation except for restaurants, which makes sense since its a large tourist economy. I read the road repair budget doubled for next year to fix the bad roads. What Corpus seems to be missing is large employers, and projects like the bridge will help. See the bridge video.
So why should it be the longest/tallest bridge in south Texas? Does it have to be at that length to satisfy the project’s ultimate goal?
In addition, the city and it surrounding neighborhood isn’t the best with its current council and board members. Is there any plan to set aside a certain amount to help develop the bridges’ surrounding area?
@Javier Arredondo North Beach is the bridges surrounding area, and development is also going on downtown and the bridges approach along 286.
@@RnWSolutions big love for texas from asia. Idk why people always complaining. This project really help local economy. Maybe local can't live there because economy problem but can take advantage from tourism and being rich if they smart enough. I will move to texas soon LEGALLY. MAGA

It will never look like this the city has to many problems
Worked and lived there in the late 60's and early 70's. When i wasn't working on an offshore drilling rig, I stayed at the Old Ebb Tide motel on north beach. lotta memories.
San Antonio, Austin and Houston are awesome and so many things to do. So try to copy their downtown areas. San Francisco's wharf is beautiful with restaurants, market place, clothing stores and the wharf is just beautiful! We should do something like that!
It'll get destroyed by the abundance of losers and low lifes in this city.
I went a couple months ago and you can’t find any good hotels by the beach . It’s so ghetto down there
Your name isn't even spelled right your parents dont even like you
@ Joseph Smith : Yep, stay way from those motels on North Beach.
It is ashame that developers have not took advantage and build a nice place to stay in that area. However, there are great spots to stay at . Corpus parks are nice and Mustang Island State Park is a great spot to camp. Super clean .
Myself and a friend are planning on going sometime this yr, I keep looking at hotels, but none of them look like they’re kept up. I mean the Omni of all places should be one that’s refurbed and kept up to Omni’s standards. Doesn’t appear to be though.
Yeah you got to go to padre island or port aransas
I am so excited for this finally some investors have a vision for our beach and our city
Dude this will be the longest bridge in North America. That is sick
I love Corpus Christi and have lived here all my 68yrs. But, I will not be a traveler over the new bridge. It's tramatic enough going over the old Harbour bridge as it is now, and to make it taller would be a nightmare for me!
How about the old bridge teardown use the old cement make a jetty on Ocean Drive
now there is a Idea
Yes shoulda good to me!
Very excited to see this project take off!
How incredible, love the illustration ❤️
Me too!!
Been living on Gulfbreeze Blvd going on 10 yrs in August. Finally exciting times ahead :)
Imagine Christmas here ♡
Corpus Christi can become beautiful work on things first in the community instead of just jumping to something that big. Which y’all already did..
I think we can work on making things beautiful in our own neighborhoods and areas while this is going on, this project is long term, we can still do things now to make it great!
The plan is to bring in more tourists. That brings in more revenue and therefor pays for the taxes to build around the beautiful work. Thus cleaning up the city and ridding of the crimes and useless buildings that take up space to build homes and other beautiful things. People are moving here from all across the country to Texas. The time is now.
CC would be on the same level of other Texas cities if this became a reality!
Is there an update for this ambitious project?
I believe it has to wait for the bridge to be complete, and sounds like that is still at least a year away. Not sure why it is over 2 years behind.
There is a website now www.northbeach.cc
Lmao 😂ok let's fixs the roads first and is the water safe or not ?????? 🙄
You should've seen peoples reaction about the municipal water bottling companies here
justin colburn ikr. We just drink from 5 gallon Everest water containers. I ain’t trusting that corpus water
Props to the render. I am a Landscape Architecture student and really find this intriguing. I wish CC would be more of a destination but really only people from Texas or Oklahoma consistently visit. I always though it would be cool if CC could be the Las Vegas of Texas. I think casinos might do well and put CC on the map.

profiles, gambling in casinos is banned in the state of Texas. Personally though, I feel like we need more shopping and dining options to get more tourists. We need to take lessons from other thriving cities, maybe instead of focusing our advertising on La Palmera and its rather boring stores, we should add a new mall on the map similar to the Riverwalk in San Antonio or Ala Moana Center in Honolulu. Thats personal opinion though, feel free to differ.
Everytime I go see plates from Colorado,Nebraska,Michigan,Iowa,Kansas,Mizzou.In winter people from all over midwest and Colorado.
I've lived in Florida . Corpus does not look inviting at all. You see more oil tanks and industrial companies.it has a long way to go.
We have better food though😉
You're right..I live here and it's a disgusting place.
And what is his pretty OK I visit did there for a week it was OK but it wasn’t good the food was pretty good
My opinion I think Corpus Christie has the potential for this makeover on north beach Whitch is long overdue.. there’s that saying “build it and they will come 😀✌️”
Well here's hoping for the best...
😂😂😂😂 How about focusing on helping the community that looks like it’s from the 1900s with ugly bitter people ?
Been in corpus for 3 years and corpus has scarred my soul and made me into a serious person trying to just make it home with road ragers and violent people with ccpd just asleep in their cars .

Fun fact, road ragers are everywhere...as is sleep, I understand your point however and I agree that if any person takes upon the role to protect and serve during their work hrs, should not be sleeping on the job. I understand your concerns and frustrations, but we must not lose hope.

Yes it will be
This should've been done yesterday !!!.... I love it, and hope it becomes a reality soon, we need to make Corpus Christi beautiful for locals and visitors, I wish we had a zoo also, but most of all new streets all over, lighting, it seems like they always forget the poor areas, when taxes are charged mainly to the poor.... tax breaks go to the rich, the system should be ashamed . I hope I get to see it, looks too ambitious, an utopia to me, maybe in 40 years ?. it takes the right people running this city,......... honest with a passion for our city AND it's people.

Looks and sounds good but honestly we don’t have the right people running the city, city management is terrible and infrastructure sucks. We can’t take care of the Crap now, what makes them think we can take care of a utopia like this. For example, the fountains downtown are not working right now even though they are installed(waste of money), the small turbines on shoreline that are supposed to be generating power ended up being some retarded decorations, they could of tore down the old court house piece of crap last year(2018) but the city took a small $1.9 million grant for renovation instead back in 2002 even though it still looks like shit and haven’t made it look nicer, the mayor likes to cut law enforcement money. This is just naming a few...corpus shouldn’t have anything nice until someone cleans house on the board and city management.
So true

I like everyone is negative. "I've been living in Corpus for two years, three years." You've been in Corpus for a short while so quit it with your negativity. This is going to cost a lot and to be honest I was shaking my head because this might not happen; but I also said to myself, I hope they are able to complete this for locals and visitors. The roads may be too off on the illustration but I didn't blur out negativity and saying drugs will not make this dream come true. I hope for the best for the poor areas for I know that particulate area and it's not good. I hope one day they will get more of the help from the city than this dream. I hope for the best of the city of CC. CC is my second home, been visiting since I was 4, now 23. I love good change but not corrupted change. I love CC and its change recently. But negativity isn't going to take you no where. The dream is too big but one by one, piece by piece, it'll happen. SA is building a low income apartment in downtown, if that's successful, considered that same project with yours. God bless you and the city board.
Yeah nobody in Corpus wants this though. I don't want it my neighbors don't want it we spoke they didn't listen. I pay attention to the city kids my age in their 20s don't.
@@GorlicBreadz If that's the case, why are they having the illustration. Y'all need to enforce this vote for no and elect better board members. People need to make then hear your voice but not violently but constant annoying them. Its common sense. Nobody likes their voice not heard but if you need a big change you need to get off your chair and make a large large group to attack the project rather sit in the corner and wait till they hear y'all. Although the city mayor from the CC and the other members might not be the person you thought they can make a good change. Everything is for you in your hands, start groups, I hope to give you the best of luck but y'all can't vote and wait, you need a final solution from the whole ity to the project members. I hope your voice is heard.

@@GorlicBreadz Who said I have all the answers? I do not. But I do work within the District office of my city. I know many people who had failed, failed at what they are trying to accomplish until they make groups and had holdings. Nobody is going to listen to you until you make it right. You might no had a great group, might of been something wrong within. Failure is never an option to the democracy. Still, there are many options to succeed, without anger and violence. Faith in doing what you are going to do is the right way. Y'all have many options and opportunities to do whats right. This is a TV show that I am going to mention, Parks and Recreation. The main character was always optimistic and knew what was right. Her dream came true when she work as a councilwoman and made a park. Its a TV show but it was a successful dream. I think that's we need. Faith, optimistic attitude, and a public voice. Don't fall, y'all will do a great job during your journey with this project. But maybe is good for the economy, more revenue, more visitors, more money into the city's pocket. Who knows this project might be good. We all don't know what it will do for the city. But whatever your stand is, believe it. Hope you are able to fight this. God bless you and your journey.
@@zuritachi7689 you still don't get it. You're still replying like you have all the answers. I understand what you're saying but if you fail to understand that people HAVE tried in different ways and they failed. Do you live in Corpus Christi?

I lived on North Padre in the early 90s. Ive been all over world since since then, but i miss North Padre and Corpus. Im retired now and im considering moving back to North Padre. I hope this project is nearing completion. Im posting this in mid May, 2023.
Did you ever move back to North Padre? Unfortunately this project has been delayed by the 5 year delay in replacing the harbor bridge. That is supposed to complete spring 2025.

I’ve been hit by two cars on purpose in the last year and been burglarized once.
Abused by the police and local hospital and the VA isn’t helping me with my anxiety or mental health but because I’m stuck here after building a house and the virus..
I’m f’ed
I built this town, and used to have connections to the mayor and several high offices.
Not anymore, and it doesn’t help my severe anxiety at 63 knowing that I have no one to help me with crime health care or a district attorney who gives a damm.
Thanks for your service.. my butt I was a volunteer in the Vietnam era.. a Corpsmen and worked all my life in Corpus, but have never been made to feel so alone as I am in serious trouble with absolutely nobody to help.
I shouldn’t be treated like this, but I’m sure you’re busy with the virus..
I’m just hoping to get it, and soon because I don’t want to go on living knowing that there’s literally no one I can call for help, or even protect me from the anxiety it’s causing knowing that I don’t even matter.
The first person I met in corpus had gold paint on his face because huffing gold was a better high on the T head to get away from Corpus he said.

So after walking to the L head I saw the ambulance loading this kid my same age up after returning to the dock to huff falling in to drown and literally throwing his life away.
I was down here because of the passing of my dad in Chicago, and my brother was the manager of the coliseum.
But most of all because I believed that I had my whole life ahead of me..

Yeah I'm sorry but it's not going to happen in that time frame and use a company that has a fail rate in building bridges. The city needs to take care of the rest of the city as far as the economy..could of had bass pro shop and brought in a ton more money but nope..and then the HUGE failure of a so called water park..I have sprinklers that are more fun and dont cost 40 to 70 a person. Also fix the roads and stop redoing the ones you already do over and over and over again. Then this city can finish a big project cause they need to kick all the city council people out and allow new and young people in cause they know what's thriving and help bring in money. Then the Crime is just horrible and nothing gets done. I've lived her for 30 years and have seen this town throw away great ideas to bring in money and to make this a better city but it's just gone down hill yeah after year and getting worse and worse. I'm sorry to say this but it's the truth and the city doesn't listen to us people that stuff there pockets full while we get screwed yeah after year. But I'll be taking the long way around and not going on that bridge cause of who is building it..and the city wants to cheap out and then when something goes wrong guess who has to pay...us tax payers constantly pay for they mistakes and wrong decisions. I can keep going but the ones that lived here for years know what I'm talking about.
You do realize this project isnt the bridge project right? Did you actually watch and listen or just saw the bridge and stopped there? It's a canal to address drainage and infrastructure in North Beach...or are you referring to the tiny bridge over the canal??? 🤔
@@simsam6582 no I watched that whole video sadly. The bridge isn't gonna happen in that time frame, and north shore will be another failure that doesn't get finished. They said they were going to fix it up years ago..got started and ditched the project like they do with anything else of that scale. The only thing keeping that area alive is the Aquarium and the Lexington. And just say by chance they do finish it all it would be a 10 to 15 year project before it got done. Don't get me wrong I would love to see this finished in a timely manner and would definitely help out tremendously, but the city always drops the ball on major major projects. Seen it to many times in the 30 plus years I've lived here.
Idk hopefully when that bridge finally gets finished and we get to bring in the supertankers hopefully corpus starts making more money and these project's will be a thing
@@C4AJ I agree with you 100 percent, cause were already one of the largest ports but the old bridge is limited to what can come in. Once its finished and the supertankers can finally start coming in like you said will boost the city's economy and bring in more jobs which equals more money coming in. I really do hope they can finish it in a timely manner along with Northshore cause all of that really needs addressed and bring back to life. Plus itll help get ride of most..not all but most..of the drug problems there. I stopped going to Northshore cause I was tired of seeing needles, pipes ect..and all the trash left behind all over the beach. I don't want to step on a needle nor do I want my kids to see any of that. When we do it's to go to the aquarium or the Lexington and then we leave that area.

@@brenda2198 you really think it is because of people not paying enough property taxes, wrong you are so wrong
Homestead exemption is a adjustment on tax value not a free ride.
I had mis my home twon since I move away for years it didn't look lik that bac then now it looks awesome and amazing how trun to be
Why are y’all people so negative? That’s one of the main problems with Corpus Christi!! Everyone’s so rude and negative about everything.
You are 100% correct, this town is full of negative people, bad attitudes. Corpus is full of angry haters as you can tell from the comments.
I had a dream about 12 years ago that by the Lex. We put a Cement wall then it had red brick sidewalks and every 20 yards there was rings with palm trees in it . People had a grand opening and us citizens of Corpus were really proud. Yeah I know it was just a dream??????
?
this vid was uploaded 5yrs ago and still not one of these investments have come true..
Yes we are still waiting for that bridge to be finished :( Supposedly next year now.
How is adding more water going to help with drainage it will never look like this
Digging trenches and using that dirt to raise the land around it will definitely help.
@@RnWSolutions no it won't the trenches and canal would just over flow. When it rains just like a river does is North Beach already above sea level. In any case y'all just want to make money don't let y'all's greed ruin my city even further😥
@@jvee6683 we are not involved in the project, I copied and posted the video because it's a good idea for our city. North Beach is stuck 50 years in the past and could be so much more. It floods like crazy, you just want to keep it that way?
I love love love the Idea. I just hope I have a job still. If this is the case, us hospitality workers will have to start looking elsewhere for work in a few years. Id love to be apart of this. Its going to be amazing. I get we have to fix the city as a whole but come on everyone this would add life. Itll add a whole new energy to help us strive for a better city all around.
There will be more hotels and restaurants there so how will you be out of a job?
@@simsam6582 because im sure they will shut down lots of businesses for the construction of this sir. Besides I work across the bridge right now and theres already talk of my hotel being sold for it.
@@mleon3384 its mam...and if your hotel is sold.. .itll probably stay there until the 3 new hotels come. Dont forget there are 2 major attractions over there that draw in large crowds...I doubt they would leave them in a lurch. There's construction right now...so....?
@@simsam6582 oh lol sorry Maam, your names confusing. Yes theres construction of the Bridge nothing else. But never the less I hope again im not out of a job. Ill have to come back this way and I want to stay where im at. Ive already learned everything. The Hospitality business isnt easy. People suck. And a restaurant job pffft even worse let me tell you.
@@simsam6582 Exactly.
LOVE IT!!!!!

What the hell! The original Harbor Bridge is history, why are you distroying history?!
Hmm - who is "you"? I take it you are referring to Corpus Christi which is not me. Besides, the bridge is 70 years old and only designed to last 50 years so I'd say its outlived its usefulness. Change is hard, but it is a given.
@@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz7123 the city claims the new one will also have the multi colored lights
Lol that thing is on brink of collapsing it’s a miracle it’s still working
We need a new bridge so supertankers can pass thru to the docks.
@@cheknecht3092 yep the biggest ships we can fit on are docks and under that bridge is sub 950 footers while over in Ingleside they get 1200ft+ big ass ships over there
This looks similar to what you see at Fort Lauderdale (the ICW). It would be a beautiful improvement to the town, which I love, but dang... y'all definitely need to do something about the neighborhood streets. I know why everyone in Texas drives trucks! 🤣
For sure, agree! Actually they are slowly improving - but where they are making improvements makes NO SENSE! Seems like they improve the streets that don't need it and ignore the streets that really need it.
But first get rid of leopard street
What!! Then no hookers
If only corpus was this nice. Even if it was. City won't be able to maintain it. Cant even fix the roads
Beautiful project wow !!!
Still cant fix the roads?
What about the hodgie hotels
awesome video!
Hurricane Hanna, Harvey, Celia, shows clearly why specific areas should not be developed. But many people do make poor financial decisions all the time. This will be one more example. Dubai and Singapore, we can build mistakes too.
Did you sustain any damage from any of those storms? We did not, we are 4 blocks from the bay and things were pretty mild. Anything along any coast is in the line of a storm. That's why we build to hurricane code.
@@RnWSolutions Revamping North Beach is nothing new. Bottomline, it's a concern about "fresh water." Any development south of San Antonio is high risk. South Texas operates solely on "watershed" water sources, and it's not a "sustainable" water source. You can build to the strength of "meteor or EMF" code, people will buy then later move and sell. Sustainable water sources is the only guaranteed success for developing a metropolis that will draw a permanent populous.
I wanted to move to Corpus Christi but if this is going to happen I’m gonna be homeless .Price of living will go up
There wiill be affordable places to live in Corpus forever I predict.
Are y’all even from corpus Bec iam 😭
Y’all talking about being the new Austin. Well all be moving to austin by the time you destroy this project in 10 years.
And if the city dosen't get rid of it, climate change most certainly will.
Why didn’t the the bridge engineers just design the cable towers to run throughout the whole length of the 5 football fields that new bridge will become???? That would’ve looked even better than the current new design on the bridge, and the old Corpus Christi Harbor Bridge.
I'm not sure what you mean, the cable towers are in the center. There is a bridge rendering page I can forward when I find it.
we are not too many local businesses got a chance out there because he's already picked a business is he wants out there so it's pretty much just for him..
Big dream, you thank you live in Dubai. Corpus City Council will never approve anything such as this unless they get direct profits in their own pockets. I remember when they turned down Tilman Fertitta when he proposed a great entertainment concept for one of the T-heads.
They did?! What fools, Jesus....
Roads are beat to shit and each time I was there people would hit me up for money for drugs I spent quite a bit of time working out there. This would be awesome for Texas
It will fall again once for the price second for the crappy company that's building this flop☠️
Except those who harbour irrational opinions such as these will unfortunately be the ones to fail by their own cause. If hope is not born, if healthy vision doesn't lie within us of course things will fail...but not this time. Together we are stronger.
@@Whatistheyouth every company has fuck up bud especially on a big ass project
@@Whatistheyouth except..the company building the bridge has nothing to do with this project completely separate....so it has nothing to do with this video.
This is some funny shit. Don't get me wrong I love the idea but North Beach is so bad. Also I love how they don't show the true Corpus view...Refineries. That is really what this place is all about. Ugly no matter what.
Indeed, Structural change is needed on all levels in my city & it shall be done. I'm proposing upping our security systems firstly, in which all threats incoming and outgoing shall have no place of harbour...as well as technical security all around the city. Tackling the so called pipe dreams of a green and clean city will no longer be just a dream, for you are right there are too many refined oil companies damaging the sanity and health of our city...but none of those workers deserve to be without jobs, the only change will be on the physical properties of oil refinery plants, cutting some away to make way for a more greener output of an energy efficient city. Btw Tesla coming to the city is a great step.
@@atleeosmosis8120 where are you proposing these wonderful ideas? I'm very interested
What makes this city think that by putting canals into this project will work. People water will level itself out. If a storm or even high tide comes in north beach will still be under water. The canals can't stop the water. Water will just rise up within the canals. Remember water will level out.
My thoughts exactly, but it's a beautiful idea!
Please...lol. Lmao. Shyterbauhn had similar plans and now it’s 4th floor is a church. Corpus doesn’t... omg I’m gonna puke
That was really nice. But who is going to pay for it??
I wonder who is gonna be the first to jump? 🤔
Buellar D hopefully someone corrupted from city hall
Property taxes are so high, that it’s driven out home buyers and you literally have a city of renters, which has made the crime levels skyrocket. All the kids parks here are riddled with unemployed drug addicts & sex offenders. The streets have more potholes than a block of Swiss cheese. But no drive away small businesses with the high taxes, and spend $1billion on a bridge so we can get a neat view of how dirty the entire city is.
