Huntwick Ave - S. Staples to Pavement change in Corpus Christi, TX

The City of Corpus Christi completed the construction of approximately 5,000 square feet of new concrete sidewalk and ADA curb ramps along Huntwick Avenue, extending from S. Staples to the pavement change. This project, valued at $1,325,000, was registered with TDLR in January 2025 and marked a significant infrastructure improvement for the Nueces County area. The work involved new construction rather than renovation, focusing on accessibility compliance and pedestrian safety on a public roadway.

Munoz Engineering served as the design firm of record for this initiative, which was funded through public sources. The registered accessibility specialist for the project was Emily Rozypal. The scheduled build window for the work was 200 days, a duration that is close to the county median of 240 days for similar new construction filings in Nueces County. The estimated cost of $1,325,000 places this project above the county median estimated cost of $662,000 for its type, reflecting the specific scope of civil works involved.

Construction activity began in March 2025, following the completion of plan review in January 2025. The filing indicated a target completion date of October 2025. However, the official record shows that the final TDLR accessibility inspection was passed in March 2026. This confirms that all construction activities were finished and the site met the required accessibility standards prior to this final verification. The TDLR status is now listed as Inspection Complete.

The City of Corpus Christi has several other TDLR-registered projects, including the District 5 Trail and the Don and Sandy Skate Park. Munoz Engineering has also been involved in other local developments, such as the Hawn Boat Facility and the Allison Road Training Facility. This project contributes to the broader network of accessible infrastructure in the Corpus Christi area, specifically within the ZIP code 78413, where the U.S. Census estimates a population of about 35,103 and a median household income of $71,624.

The completion of this sidewalk and curb ramp installation enhances connectivity for residents and visitors in the Huntwick Avenue corridor. The project’s cost per square foot was calculated at $265, which is above the county median of $118 per square foot for similar filings. This variance is typical for projects involving specialized ADA compliance elements and new concrete work in established urban areas. The successful completion of this project adds to the City’s record of maintaining and improving public accessibility standards in Nueces County.
