CHANGES TO PLANS FOR SHEUNG WAN FOOTBRIDGES'

*****

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO PLANS FOR BUILDING TWO FOOTBRIDGES AT SHEUNG WAN ON HONG KONG ISLAND HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED IN THE LATEST GAZETTE.

Th:

ENDMENTS INVOLVE RELOCATING ONE FOOTBIDGE, AT MORRISON STREET, ND RELOCATING THE SOUTHERNMOST STAIRCASE OF THE OTHER, AT TƯNG HI- Ý LANE

י

·

IT IS INTENDED TO MOVE THE MORRISON STREET FOOTBRIDGE ABOUT FOUR METRES WESTWARD TO PLACE IT IN LINE WITH ON TAI STREET. THE FOOTBRIDGE WILL ALSO BE EXTENDED BY ABOUT 14 METRES SOUTHWARD INTO ON TAI STREET, AND THE TEMPORARY STEEL STAIRCASE SOUTH OF THE FOOTBRIDGE WILL BE RELOCATED.

UNDER THE ORIGINAL PLAN, THE FOOTBRIDGE WAS TO RUN DIRECTLY INTO WESTERN MARKET. BUT THIS WOULD NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE MARKET BUILDING, BOTH STRUCTURALLY AND IN APPEARANCE, UNLESS THE MARKET WERE TO BE REDEVELOPED.

+

IN VIEW OF THE PROPOSAL TO PRESERVE WESTERN MARKET, IT HAS BECOME NECESSARY TO RELOCATE THE FOOTBRIDGE TO KEEP IT CLEAR OF THE MARKET FACADE.

THE CHANGED PLAN FOR THE TUNG HING LANE FOOTBRIDGE INVOLVES RELOCATING THE SOUTHERNMOST STAIRCASE TO THE FOOTBRIDGE'S EAST SIDE TO PROVIDE DIRECT PEDESTRIAN ACCESS TO THE EASTBOUND TRAMSTOP.

OBJECTIONS TO THE PROPOSALS SHOULD BE SENT TO THE SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT BY NOVEMBER 7.
