The Belize City Council has unveiled ambitious plans to construct a floating boardwalk along the Southern Foreshore, following a comprehensive feasibility study conducted by Dutch engineering firm Blue21. The proposed structure, designed to stretch from the Bliss Centre for the Performing Arts to King Street, aims to create a vibrant public space while simultaneously safeguarding the city’s seawall from erosion. The innovative design has been rigorously tested against extreme weather conditions, including hurricane-level waves and winds, confirming its technical viability. Although funding remains unsecured, Mayor Bernard Wagner has championed the project as a cornerstone of his vision for a climate-resilient Belize City. He highlighted the potential of the currently underutilized site to transform into a hub for recreation, tourism, and local entrepreneurship. The initiative, which first gained traction in 2023, has garnered support from the European Union. Public opinion, however, is divided. While some residents applaud the project for its modern appeal and potential economic benefits, others argue that pressing issues such as infrastructure development, low-income housing, and poverty alleviation should take precedence over such ambitious endeavors.
