SMALL PARK TO BE BUILT ON THE WATERFRONT
A strip of land skirting the seashore on Waterfront Road on the south
side of the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter is to be turned into an amenity area.
The site measuring approximately 30,000 sq. ft. offers one of the
most commanding views of the harbour.
A government spokesman said today that the area would now be
developed as an extensive promenade with textured paving, benches, trees,
flower beds and turfed areas.
Mushroom type pavilions will be erected at appropriate intervals
as sun-shade shelters. Colourful soulptured walls will further enhance the
promenade as points of attraction.
Construction work will begin in mid-December and will take six months
to complete.
