parking fees and high insurance oost Hong Kong people would tend to dispose of
their cars and accept public transport. Consideration was given some years ago
#
to instal a plant for "compressing cars for subsequent disposal. While the Urban
Council in Hong Kong is responsible for refuse collection and disposal, this field
should be looked into and it may improve the traffic conditions in Hong Kong, reduce
congestion, reduce the element of pollution and provide a good and acceptable
service to the community and it will surely bring revenue.
Managers for Multi-storey Car Parks and
Roadside Parking Meters
The Urban Council of Hong Kong was the managers of multi-storey
car parks a few months ago before they were taken back by the Central Government.
In my view parking is an urban and regional matter, therefore, it should be the
responsibility of the Urban Council. Certain open space car parks in Singapore are
being used as hawkers bazaars and cooked food bazaars during the evenings and as
the Urban Council in Hong Kong is the authority for attending hawkers requirements,
thoughts should be given that certain roadside car parks should be used for such
purpose as some kind of substitute for the controversial Hawker Permitted Area
scheme. At the time of preparation of this paper materials have not yet been
available on parking in Hong Kong and in London. When opportunity arises a
further supplement will be prepared.
