FERRY PIER TO BE IMPROVED
The existing Ma Liu Shui temporary pier near the Chinese University
is to be converted into a permanent public pier.
The government intends to take over the pier, which at present is held by pornit, and then plans to improve it to bring it up to the standard of other government public piers.
A spokesman pointed out today that over the past few years this pier has been used by a growing number of people, particularly at weekends and public holidays.
After renovation, the pier will also be used as a landing place for the existing ferry services between Ma On Shan and Ho Tung Lau.
The Ho Tung Lau pier will soon be absorbed in reclamation works associated with the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club's second rececourse in
Sha Tin.
In a public notice in the Gazette today, the Director of Public Works draws the attention of the public to the proposed conversion and stipulates that any person having any objection or any claims of private right in the matter, should submit such objections or claims in writing
to him within two months.
Notices in English and Chinese, have also been posted on notice
boards near the pier.
