- Some Jackfish Ave residents are concerned about potentially losing private property
The City of Corpus Christi’s engineering department started work on the Jackfish Avenue reconstruction project in September 2023, and construction is expected to go through October 2024. Some Jackfish Ave residents are concerned that sidewalks may be built on their private property.
“The reconstruction of Jackfish Avenue will include a combination of concrete and asphalt roadway. The roadway from Park Road 22 to Ambrosia Street will be constructed with concrete, and the roadway from Ambrosia Street to Aquarius Street will be constructed with asphalt. This project will also incorporate minor utility improvements, curb and gutter as needed, sidewalk installation in front of Ulberg Park, select driveways, signage, and pavement markings,” as stated in the project facts.
“The biggest thing is if they’re going to be getting into my property. I think it’s polite that they come and have a discussion with us to let us know what’s going to happen,” Kevin Hendrickson, a Padre Island Resident who lives on Jackfish said.
