'Like a zipper that unzipped': Kyle Seale Parkway neighbors anxious about retaining wall collapse

SAN ANTONIO — People who drive on busy Kyle Seale Parkway near Cedar Creek Golf Course have been watching a retaining wall partially collapse, and watching with concern.

One neighbor who lives across the canyon from the collapse said of the April 10 failure that everyone in the area knew something was amiss. The neighbor, who didn't want his name used, said the collapse appeared to have happened all at once.Another neighbor said the hole in the southern wall is nothing compared to collapse damage affecting the entry ramp of the complex.

"My biggest concern is, one, it's limestone, which is porous. Do they have proper drainage for that?" he continued."I think they don't have proper drainage. I think that's why the wall collapsed."Credit: KENS 5One neighbor said the failure reminded him of a similar incident that shook up the River Mist neighborhood in San Antonio in 2010.

Bexar County spokesperson Monica Ramos said they had not received any complaints about the retaining wall collapse before KENS 5 reached out, adding the county fire marshal's office evaluated the area on Wednesday and communication with the builder.
