MORE OPEN SPACES IN TSIM SHA TSUI EAST
****
MORE OPEN SPACES WILL BE DEVELOPED IN TSIM SHA TSUI EAST TO PROVIDE VISITORS AND OFFICE WORKERS WITH MORE RECREATIONAL FACILITIES.
A SPOKESMAN FOR THE BUILDING DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT SAID TODAY THAT ALTOGETHER TEN OPEN SPACES OF DIFFERENT DESIGNS WILL BE BUILT IN THE AREA.
TENDERS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THREE OF THESE OPEN SPACES ARE BEING INVITED BY THE ARCHITECTURAL OFFICE OF THE DEPARTMENT.
THE SPOKESMAN SAID THAT ONE OF THE OPEN SPACES WILL BE LOCATED ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF SCIENCE MUSEUM ROAD WHILE THE OTHER TWO ARE ON THE WESTERN SIDE OF THE ROAD.
THE EASTERN-SIDE OPEN SPACE WILL HAVE TWO BASKETBALL COURTS, BENCHES AND ARBOURS.
THE REMAINING TWO WILL BE PROVIDED WITH PLANTINGS, BENCHES, AND A FOUNTAIN FORMING A CENTRAL PIAZZA.
+THE MAIN FEATURE OF THESE OPEN SPACES IS THAT THEY WILL BE LINKED BY TREE-LINED PEDESTRIAN PRECINCTS,+ THE SPOKESMAN ADDED.
WORK FOR THE PROJECT WILL START IN FEBRUARY NEXT YEAR AND IS EXPECTED TO BE COMPLETED IN AUGUST.
