Boerne Mayor Frank Ritchie on Wednesday recalled an incident about 20 years ago, when his then-7-year-old daughter dropped a camera into Cibolo Creek during a family visit to River Road Park. “I’m pretty sure we dredged that camera out of the river a couple months ago,” Ritchie said.
The mayor was joined by about 80 Boerne residents and staff members for a ribbon-cutting celebrating the completion of the River Road Park Restabilization project, which fortified the decaying and eroding creek walls and included improvements for residents to enjoy in the park.
“As I stand here this morning, surrounded by the vibrant foliage, the new walking trail, the boardwalk, the fishing piers,” Ritchie said, “I can imagine the children’s voices coming to life, kids fishing off these piers, and just enjoyment of families taking walks through the park in the evening and on the weekends.”
