VIEWS EXCHANGED ON MONG KOK TRAFFIC
**** *
SIXTEEN MEMBERS OF THE MONG KOK DISTRICT BOARD TODAY (THURSDAY) VISITED THE KOWLOON REGIONAL OFFICE OF THE TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT TO GAIN FIRST-HAND INFORMATION ABOUT TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT IN THE DISTRICT.
DISTRICT BOARD CHAIRMAN, MR CHOW CHUN-FAI, SAID TRANSPORT MATTERS WERE OF GREAT CONCERN TO LOCAL RESIDENTS AS MONG KOK WAS PLAGUED WITH PROBLEMS CAUSED BY HEAVY TRAFFIC AND ROAD SHORTAGE.
+WE WELCOME A CHANCE FOR DIRECT EXCHANGE OF VIEWS BETWEEN TRANSPORT OFFICIALS AND BOARD MEMBERS TO ENHANCE UNDERSTANDING OF THE OVERALL TRANSPORT POLICY AND MEASURES RATHER THAN GETTING INFORMATION BY PIECEMEAL, HE SAID.
+THE BOARD UNDERSTANDS THAT THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE DEPARTMENT CANNOT ENTERTAIN ALL PUBLIC REQUESTS- SO IT WOULD ALSO BE USEFUL TO KNOW ABOUT RESTRICTIONS IN THE ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES AND FACILITIES TO MEET DISTRICT NEEDS,+ HE ADDED.
THE MONG KOK DISTRICT BOARD HAS SET UP AN ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE TO EXAMINE AND ADVISE ON DISTRICT TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT MATTERS.
THE ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER FOR TRANSPORT (KOWLOON), MRS DOROTHY CHAN, BRIEFED MEMBERS ON THE TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORT SCHEME IN MONG KOK.
BOARD MEMBERS WERE ALSO TREATED TO A SLIDE SHOW ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICES IN HONG KONG.
THE DISTRICT OFFICER, MRS BRENDA FUNG, THE ASSISTANT DISTRICT OFFICER, MR EARNEST CHEUNG, AND FOUR CO-OPTED MEMBERS OF THE ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE ALSO WENT ON THE VISIT.
