At the beginning of the week (21/7/24) MM and Deputy Mayor Avihu Han were hosted at Haifa Port. The general manager of real estate and the sea front Erez Baharir, the sea front engineer Sagi Professorsky and the director of tourism, cruises and the opening of the sea front Zohar Rom participated in the discussion and tour of the port.
Beharir explained to Han the plans for the immediate, short and long term as part of the intention of the Port of Haifa to implement the sea front plan that was implemented many years ago, was approved about seven years ago, and now, for the first time, is being put into effect.
Avihu Han MM and Deputy Mayor of Haifa:
Thanks to Erez, Sagi and Zohar for the layout and presentation of the Haifa port plans and the seafront feature. It is very important to preserve the history of Haifa and the special buildings that were built at the beginning of the last century as part of the sea front plan for future generations.
Avihu Han, who also serves as chairman of the preservation committee, received an overview of the ongoing renovation of the mandatory management structure, which will become a culinary center and a tourist experience for visitors at the end of the strict preservation process.
In addition, the new international cruise terminal project was presented, which will be built while preserving and enlarging hangars 8 and 9, as well as hangar 15, which in the last two months has become one of the hottest concert complexes in the Haifa and northern region.
At the end of the discussion, a tour of the seafront complexes was held.
Erez Baharir, CEO of Real Estate and Sea Front:
I thank my father for the time he spent getting to know our plans for realizing the vision of the sea front and making the complex an integral part of the urban fabric of the lower city, and as a springboard for tourism, trade, employment and recreation and leisure.
I am convinced that in cooperation we can leverage the sea front project for the sake of the entire city, while preserving the history of Haifa, and guaranteeing its prosperous future.
I would urgently recommend that you come and see what is happening in the public area of the fisherman's anchor Shavit, the manager there is handing out public areas cheaply to the Arabs of Acre, a really outrageous settlement. He and the Hani companies think that the world belongs to them and do only as they please
This is a sensitive area and prone to Hezbollah attacks and the reasons are known
In addition, trains transporting hazardous materials pass through this area.
In front of the settlement there is a 6-lane road and an entrance to the port that are not going to be moved
In addition, electrified fences of the railway tracks and the addition of 2 tracks are expected
As long as these issues exist, it is impossible to develop an urban seafront there.
It's a shame to mislead the public
I didn't understand why the exciting information was kept in the meeting with the deputy mayor. Let's present it to all the residents?!
In the meantime, I heard that the residents of the port campus are suffering from severe disturbance from the noise of the terminal complex because it is not acoustic. Maybe you will learn to think with the public and not above your head?!
what is secret All the time the sea front is a bad word when they don't say how much construction is going on and what is behind it?!
