MEMBERS WILL DISCUSS THE PROPOSED RE-SURFACING SCHEME OF CHUN YEUNG STREET AND RE-SITING ARRANGEMENT FOR HAWKERS DURING AND AFTER RE-SURFACING WORKS.

TWO PROJECT MANAGERS OF THE EASTERN HARBOUR CROSSING PROJECT MANAGEMENT CO. LTD. WILL ALSO BRIEF MEMBERS ON THE PROGRESS OF WORK ON THE PROJECT AND EXPLAIN THE NOISE NUISANCE EMITTED DURING CONSTRUCTION IN RESPONSE TO RECENT COMPLAINTS FROM NEARBY RESIDENTS.
