Projection with images generated by artificial intelligence of the new Urban Park and Marina of Beira-Mar Norte Sudesc/Disclosure Florianópolis is studying an experimental project to implement water transport as another form of connection between the neighboring city of São José and Beira-mar Norte. The capital wants to launch the notice this year. The municipal secretary of Infrastructure, Rafael Hahne, expects the boarding to take place in São José, close to the Events Center. At Beira-mar Norte, the boat will anchor at the pier, in the new marina area. The expectation is that the new transport will start operating effectively in 2028. ?Click and follow the g1 SC channel on WhatsApp The project is experimental because the decree wants to understand which public would use the boat to get around. “I believe that a public that would benefit greatly is the cyclist who lives on the Mainland and is interested, for example, in coming to Florianópolis by bicycle, but today finds it difficult to make this connection via the bridge", pointed out the secretary. He also listed the neighborhoods he believes would benefit most. “The entire public from Kobrasol and Campinas would have access to the terminal and travel by boat to Beira-Mar Norte, connecting to the city center in a very efficient way”, he added. Beira-mar Norte marina project provides structure for water transport In the Beira-Mar Norte Urban Park and Marina project, the municipal administration says that the project includes a structure for boarding and disembarking water transport boats. The integration model will be inspired by the Vila Velha system, which connects the capital of Espírito Santo to the municipality of Cariacica. "We are going to test the water transport method. But remember that it will never be able to solve mobility between the island and the continent in a unique way, because if that were the case, we wouldn't need to have built the Hercílio Luz Bridge 100 years ago. So, it can help, yes, but in some criteria", said Hahne.

The work for the construction of the Urban Park and Marina foresees the creation of commercial buildings, leisure areas with sports courts and marinas, both public and private, with capacity for more than 600 vessels. The project received a definitive license in February and works began this July. The park will be built between Portugal and Sesquicentenário squares, occupying a total area of ??140 thousand square meters. In addition to the private marina, which will be managed by the winning bidder, the space will have sports courts, squares, a supermarket, as well as gastronomic options, rest areas and entertainment spaces. Planned more than 10 years ago, the space is budgeted at R$350 million. The amount will be borne by the private sector in exchange for the use of the space for 35 years. City hall estimates that, when completed, the park will generate more than 2,000 jobs.
