The Cinta Costera, or coastal belt is a 25 hectare land fill that will go in along Panama’s scenic Balboa Avenue. Of the 25 hectares, 20 hectares will be maintained as parks and green areas, the remaining 5 hectares are going towards bike paths and 4 lane highway, which will greatly alleviate the current traffic situation in Panama City. The fill material will come from the excavations of the Panama Canal expansion.
The cinta costera, along with the clean up of the Bay of Panama which is currently underway, and forcasted to cost 350 million USD and take between 10 and 15 years to complete should do wonders for the beauty, quality of life, and of course property values of Panama City.
