The Neighborhood Newspapers launched a new survey to identify the main problem faced by the Oceanic Region of Niterói, inviting readers to participate and answer which issue is most urgent. The region, composed of twelve neighborhoods including Piratininga, Cafubá, Itaipu, Itacoatiara, and Engenho do Mato, is known for its beaches and green areas that attract residents and visitors.
The Oceanic Region deals with several urgent issues, including problems of mobility, security, infrastructure, services, and environment. The significant increase in the number of residents and real estate developments in the region has exerted pressure on streets, transportation systems, service networks, and available infrastructure.
Natural areas of the region, such as lagoons and strips of forest, are also suffering the effects of increasing occupation. The survey offers eight alternatives, prepared based on common complaints throughout the region, including traffic, power outages, exploitation of internet services by criminal groups, home burglaries, and few service options, among other problems mentioned by residents.
