Question : Would Government make a statement on the availability of on-street and off-street parking facilities in Eastern District?
Secretary for Transport
Sir,
Eastern District has approximately 10,000
off-street spaces. Most of these are in housing
estates and are reserved for residents.
However, many
estates with commercial centres also make spaces
available to the general public. There are 721 metered
on-street spaces of which 486 are in Causeway Bay and
North Point, 79 in Shau Kei Wan and 156 in Chai Wan.
A further 100 on-street spaces had to be suspended
because of the construction of the MTR Island Line,
but reinstatement of these will soon begin.
