The possible need to introduce these measures is being examined by the Public Works Department and the Standing Committee on Road Use respectively.
Public relations

The lifting of the statutory restrictions in the Mid-Levels is expected to be welcomed by land owners despite the continuation of administrative restrictions on lease modifications and land sales both there and in Pok Fu Lam, but may not be so popular with existing residents. Some local anxiety may be caused by the announcement of a decision to construct the Hill Road Flyover. In the long term, however, the road improvements will benefit the travelling public and the general aim of any publicity must be to emphasise the great improvements in traffic movement which will be achieved by the works. It will also be emphasised that the route has been deliberately chosen to avoid disturbing people.
