EXTENSION FOR YAU MA TEI MULTI-STOREY CAR PARK
Pressure on parking spaces in Kowloon will be eased when an extension
is built to the existing Yau Ma Tei multi-storey car park.
The 11-storey extension, to be sited adjacent to the present car park,
will provide an additional 401 parking spaces on eight floors. Office accommodation
is planned for the ground, mezzanine and the two uppermost floors.
The project forms Stage Two of the Yau Ma Tei multi-storey car park
scheme. When completed Stage Two together with Stage One will form one single
building providing a total of 821 parking spaces.
The existing car park, which is situated behind the Kowloon Government
Offices, is nine storeys high, but the new project also includes the construction
of an additional two storeys to be used as office space.
But the most unusual aspect of the scheme is the construction of an
elevated roadway which will pass through the new 11-storey extension on the
second and third floor levels.
The elevated road is planned as part of the West Kowloon Corridor Scheme
and will pass over busy roads in Yau Ma Tei to provide through traffic flow
between Gascoign Road and Tong Mi Road.
