330 ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES FOR WAN CHAT
An area to the east of the helicopter landing pad in Wan Chai is to
be turned into a temporary open-air car park soon to provide 330 much needed
parking spaces.
Work will probably start early next month and should be completed
towards the end of this year.
A short length of new road to give access to the car park will be
completed in time for the opening which is expected to be some time in December.
A spokesman for the Highways Office said the metered parking spaces
now available near the helicopter landing ground would be removed on the opening
of the temporary car park.
"It will also serve as a test case for parking requirements in Wan Chai
after the opening of the cross-harbour tunnel," he said.
