stands, parked lorries and hawkers' stalls. The resumption of old building property adjacent to the roadway and the removal of the petrol filling station from the centre of the road made possible the construction of a 100'-0" dual carriageway road in 8" vibrated cement concrete with provision for restricted parking in special reserved areas alongside the footpath. The two 22'-0" carriageways were divided by a 6'-0" reserve, formed by a low masonry wall 1'-6" high, with provision for flowering shrubs and grass. A street lighting scheme incorporating a combination of side- and centrally-mounted 250-watt Gaseous Discharge lamps was designed in conjunction with the road reconstruction work.
269. In Tsun Wan, development of sites adjacent to the main road made it necessary to reconstruct the road to conform to the new Town Planning levels, since in places the difference between existing level and planned level was as much as 10'-0". A section approximately 400 yards long was reconstructed in accordance with the standard design of roads in urban and rural areas, and in conformity with the 100'-0" wide road reserve plan. From the southern boundary, to which all new buildings had been set back, a 14'-0" footway, an 11'-0" reserve for utility services and car and bus parks, and a 22'-0" carriageway were provided. The footway on the North side varies in width according to the set back of existing buildings. This reconstruction work conformed to the proposed location of a 48" diameter water main from the Tai Lam Chung Reservoir, which can now be laid in the north footway without risk of disturbing the existing services which were kept in the 11'-0" reserve strip on the south of the carriageway.
270. Castle Peak Road between Un Long and Au Tau, a distance of approximately one mile, which was widened in 1952, was reconstructed in 8" vibrated cement concrete to provide a 22'-0" wide carriageway and two 7'-0" wide footways for the heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic. In addition, lay-bys 10'-6" x 150'-0" long were formed to provide parking facilities for buses.
