The existing six Government multi-storey car parks are providing
3,600 parking spaces. With the completion of these projects, the number
of parking spaces available will nearly be doubled.
Plans are also ir hand to build multi-storey car parks at the
Causeway Bay Magistracy (900 spaces), Kwun Tong Ferry Pier (900 spaces)
and Tsuen Wan Ferry Pier (900 spaces).
A combined market-car park may also be built in Mong Kok Road-
Fa Yuen Street.
There are also a number of tentative proposals under consideration
for the development of multi-storey car parks either by Government or by
private developers.

buildings to combined market/car parks and combined petrol filling stations/
garages/car parks.
