Puerto Morelos Unveils Ambitious Urban Development Plan for a Greener, More Connected Future

Puerto Morelos is gearing up for some exciting changes.

 

Mayor Blanca Merari Tziu Muñoz announced in September 2025 a series of ambitious projects designed to improve daily life and strengthen the town's infrastructure.

 

From a new district park to a comprehensive bicycle network, these initiatives aim to make Puerto Morelos more livable and sustainable.

 

The Municipal Institute for Urban Development Planning (Implan), led by director Víctor Aragón Madrigal, is spearheading these efforts.

 

Their focus is on creating spaces that benefit both residents and visitors while preserving the town's unique character.

 

These ideas focus on making our town better for everyone, from how we plan our neighborhoods to how we get around.

Building a Better Puerto Morelos

 

Mayor Blanca Merari Tziu Munoz shared that the Municipal Institute for Urban Development Planning, or Implan, is key to these plans.

 

They provide the research and studies needed to build the Puerto Morelos we all dream of. These projects are designed to strengthen our community and help our economy grow.

One of the big ideas is a new district park. It will be built on municipal land and will have something for everyone. Imagine pet areas, a skate park, outdoor gyms, and even co-working spaces.

 

This park will be easy to get to and will use native plants, making it a green and welcoming spot for all.

Getting Around Town

 

Another important project is a new bicycle network.

 

This network will connect our town, reaching the Maya Train stations and national parks. It will link up important roads like Joaquin Zetina Gasca and Timon avenues.

 

The plan includes green spaces and clear road signs.

This bike project aims to reduce our environmental footprint. It will make it easier for us to choose bikes over cars.

 

Plus, we are getting a BiciEscuela, or bike school, in partnership with the Mapaches MTB Puerto Morelos Cycling Club. It is set to open in 2026.

This bike school is planned to be unique in Quintana Roo. It will offer classes for all ages and skill levels.

 

You can learn basic bike repairs, traffic rules, and road safety. They will also host talks on healthy living and the rights of walkers and cyclists.

Community and Care

 

Victor Aragon Madrigal, the director of Implan, says all these projects consider sustainability while including local businesses. 

 

For example, a new municipal market is planned for Villas Morelos II. This market will be a central spot to boost our local businesses. It will be easy to use and adaptable for both sellers and shoppers.

On the same property, there will be an Animal Control and Welfare Center. This center will provide many services for pets in Puerto Morelos.

 

It will have adoption areas, vet offices, and even a shelter with 61 cages. This means better care for our furry friends.

An Accessible Town for All

 

The town is also working on making our streets more accessible. Three new urban infrastructure projects will help create safe crossings for everyone.

 

This includes people with disabilities. They will feature special ramps, tactile guides, and good lighting.

These projects will make sure that all public works from now on consider everyone. They will improve inclusion and mobility for all residents.

 

We can look forward to a more connected, safer, and more accessible Puerto Morelos for years to come.
