Philip Dimmitt Park and Pier is the proposed site for the design of a public boat ramp under bond 2024, which is what many boaters, like Brian Wruble, have been clamoring for.
“This is basically what I’ve been asking for since we found out about the other boat ramp in Flour Bluff basically shutting down to the public,” Wruble said.
Tony Jaramillo “Flour Bluff is surrounded on all sides by water and we are probably one of the only areas that does not have a public boat ramp,” Wruble said
That may soon change if voters pass the city’s bond 2024 package .
“We have money on that bond proposal to do some feasibility and design work of a potential launch facility,” Councilmember Dan Suckley said.
Tony Jaramillo Included in proposition B is the $1M boat ramp design at Philip Dimmitt Park and Pier in Flour Bluff, but Wruble believes its impact will extend beyond the Bluff.
“It’s not only Flour Bluff, the whole south side of Corpus Christi. From Yorktown to Staples, Everhart, everybody brings their boats down Yorktown,” Wruble said.
