Cantagalo Park, in Lagoa, gets new lighting

oglobo14 September 2026 at 11:00

Cantagalo Park, located on the shores of Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas in Rio de Janeiro's South Zone, gained new lighting. The modernization was completed by the company RioLuz and expanded the lighting infrastructure of the space, including equipment that promises to improve conditions for using the park at night.

The project included the installation of 38 new fiber poles, approximately one kilometer of conduits and 43 new junction boxes with anti-theft covers. According to RioLuz, the new infrastructure reduces the system's vulnerability to theft and acts of vandalism.

The president of RioLuz, Rodolpho Maldonado, stated that the goal was to deliver a modern, efficient and sustainable system that offers more security to visitors and enhances one of the most beautiful spaces in the South Zone.

With approximately 14,000 square meters, the park is located between Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas and Morro do Cantagalo.

Why this matters

The modernization of Cantagalo Park directly benefits residents and visitors of Lagoa, offering better lighting for nighttime use and greater safety. The modern infrastructure also reduces losses from equipment theft, a recurring problem in public spaces throughout the city. The project is part of RioLuz's efforts to modernize the city's public lighting.

Florida wants to create criminal penalties for AI companies when chatbots participate in crimes

Florida's Attorney General, James Uthmeier, announced proposed legislation to hold artificial intelligence companies criminally liable when their AI systems participate in or facilitate crimes. The measure would reach companies with control over the development, training, and deployment of AI systems, potentially resulting in steep fines, compensation to victims, court oversight, and in the most serious cases, suspension of operations in the state. The proposal comes amid an investigation into ChatGPT related to the shooting attack at Florida State University in 2025, which left two people dead and five injured. The state has also expressed concern about AI-generated scams and child sexual abuse material generated by artificial intelligence. The legislation has not yet been passed and is expected to be discussed during the regular legislative session in March.
