Residents Urge Corpus Christi Council to Repair 40-Year-Old Saint Dennis Street

Residents of Saint Dennis Street in Corpus Christi are urging the city council to prioritize repairs for their aging road, which has been neglected despite ongoing street renovations in the area. During the recent city council meeting, a resident highlighted the stark contrast between the well-maintained newer section of Saint Dennis Street, built in 2006, and the deteriorating 40-year-old portion constructed in 1985.

The resident expressed frustration that while street repairs began in nearby King's Crossing, their section of Saint Dennis Street was left out of the current repair cycle. They noted that heavy vehicles have been damaging the already compromised road further, creating a "tale of two Saint Dennis Streets."

After visiting 34 homes along the older section, the resident reported that many neighbors share the same concerns about the road's condition and are hopeful for immediate action rather than waiting until 2027, as currently planned. The community is advocating for quicker repairs to alleviate the ongoing issues caused by potholes and road damage, emphasizing the need for timely action to improve their living conditions.

The city council's response to this request will be crucial in determining the timeline for repairs and addressing the residents' concerns.
