MOPE FOOTPATH FOR TAI TAM AREA
Part Of Countryside Recreational Development Programme
A mile-long concrete footpath, linking Pottinger Gap and Tai
Tam Gap, is to be built shortly on Hong Kong Island as part of a plan
to provide picnickers and hikers with better country paths.
The plan also calls for the provision of a 20,000 square feet
turfed aresz..
In conjunction with the road work, dreinage channels and cross
road culverts will be constructed.
Construction work is expected to begin in March and will
take about nine months to complete.
With the completion of this one, there will be three footpaths
in the Tai Tam area, One of the other two near Quarry Bay was completed
in August last year and the other, linking Quarry Gap and Tai Lan den, is
being built and is expected to be ready for use this summer.
A spokesman for the Public Works Department said today that an
additional. five miles of country footpath will be built within the next two
years in the Tai Lam aren.
"Barbecue pita, tables and benches and toilet facilities will be
provided along the footpath," he said.
The project is part of a five-year countryside recreational
development programme recommended by the New Territories and Hong Kong
Island Advisory Committees for Recreational Development and Nature Conservation.
