Corpus Christi is pouring nearly $17 million into a major overhaul of the Michael J. Ellis Seawall on North Padre Island — repairing cracks, adding a new concrete cap, ramps, stairs, lighting, and redoing the parking lot. Construction starts October 1 and wraps in about a year. Though privately owned by condo and business owners behind it, the seawall must remain publicly accessible under Texas law, creating a maintenance nightmare for owners who couldn’t restrict access or get insurance. After years of neglect, the city stepped in, securing easements to take over upkeep and paving the way for potential federal disaster funds. While some features sparked debate, most owners support the long-overdue fix to preserve this vital tourist and local landmark.
