To the north of the EVA hotel and bus station, the
municipal car park will remain as it presently is,
though will see an auditorium and more shops take shape
around it.
Around the docks and Bívar gardens more restaurants
will be built and the petrol station will be closed and
re-homed in a new location. On the opposite side of the
dock, by the river mouth, more recreational docks will
be constructed, along with a walkway from the
restaurants that already exist on the docks, all the way
to the train station.
To finish off the project, the Institute for Ports
and Maritime Transports (IPTM) is currently devising a
project to up grade the port itself.
Revamping Faro's riverfront has long been one of the
City Hall's main missions, though only now, with the
collaboration of the IPTM, does it look set to become
reality.
No official dates for the works to commence have, as
yet, been confirmed, but Faro Mayor José Apolinário
hopes that "by next June or July there will be a project
ready to be carried out".
Reports state that the financial costs will be partly
footed by Communitarian funds.
