Parking
9.44 In the Central District of Hong Kong Island, the construction of a multi-storey car park capable of parking 900 vehicles was nearing completion. A temporary off-street car park for over 500 vehicles at the Ex-Naval Dockyard was constructed and put into operation. In the private sector the provision of a multi-storey car park for 800 vehicles at the Plaza Hotel, Causeway Bay was in an advanced stage of construction.
9.45 The installation of parking meters continued. There were net increases of 39 metered spaces on Hong Kong Island and 963 in Kowloon.
9.46 A scheme was launched for the extension of the time of operation of metered parking in certain areas from 7.00 p.m. up to midnight. Work under this scheme has been completed in the Wan Chai, Happy Valley and Causeway Bay areas on the Island. On the Mainland a similar extension of the time of meter operation was made to parking spaces in the Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok areas.
