  • Nvironmental Management and Performance
    ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE LAND AND WATERBORNE TRANSPORT Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. A safe, efficient, reliable and environment friendly transport system is important to the sustainable development of the city. On environmental management, we will continue to press ahead with the following initiatives - priority for efficient and environment friendly transport modes; reduction in traffic congestion and better inter-modal co-ordination; greater emphasis on pedestrian facilities; and application of Information Technology (IT) to transport management. Priority for Efficient and Environment Friendly Transport Modes Railways are environment friendly, safe and efficient mass carriers in Hong Kong, carrying about 40% of our public transport passengers. At present, the total length of our railways under operation is about 219 km. We are taking forward the following five railway projects in full swing - West Island Line; South Island Line (East); Kwun Tong Line Extension; Shatin to Central Link; and Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link. 7 Upon completion of these railway passenger lines by 2020, the total length of railways in operation in Hong Kong will be increased to about 280 km. We launched the consultancy study on the Review and Update of the Railway Development Strategy 2000 in March 2011 to further our policy for better use of railways as the backbone of the passenger transport system. Development of rail transport will significantly speed up passenger flow, alleviate road traffic congestion and reduce vehicle-induced air pollution. The study is expected to be completed in 2013. The Government will continue with its efforts to enhance the co-ordination between railway and other public transport modes to avoid unnecessary duplication of public transport resources and alleviate traffic congestion.

  • Administration's Paper on the Progress Update of the Construction of The
    LC Paper No. CB(4)610/15-16(05) Legislative Council Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways Progress Update of the Construction of the Shatin to Central Link (As at 31 December 2015) Introduction This paper reports to Members on the progress of the main construction works of the Shatin to Central Link (“SCL”) as at 31 December 2015. Background 2. SCL, with a total length of 17 kilometres, consists of the following two sections – (a) Tai Wai to Hung Hom section: this is an extension of the Ma On Shan Line from Tai Wai via Southeast Kowloon to Hung Hom where it will join the West Rail Line; and (b) Hung Hom to Admiralty section: this is an extension of the East Rail Line from Hung Hom across the Victoria Harbour to Wan Chai North and Admiralty. 3. SCL will have ten stations. Apart from bringing improvements to the existing Tai Wai Station, the SCL project will involve construction of new stations or extension of existing stations at Hin Keng, Diamond Hill, Kai Tak, To Kwa Wan, Ma Tau Wai, Ho Man Tin, Hung Hom, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, and Admiralty. It is a territory-wide strategic railway project (alignment layout at Annex 1). Admiralty Station and Ho Man Tin Station will become integrated stations providing interchange service to passengers of SCL and South Island Line (East)(“SIL(E)”), as well as passengers of SCL and Kwun Tong Line Extension (“KTE”) respectively. 4. The Approved Project Estimate for the entire SCL project is $79,800 million (in money-of-the-day prices) and the project is funded by the Government under the “concession approach”.

So they just told the bus drivers to stop at “Wong Tai Sin”. Soon “Wong Tai Sin” became the alternative name for this little village. Mr. Lo Suk Ching from the New Territories Association of Societies lived in Wong Tai Sin during his youth. He remembers that at that time, Wong Tai Sin was no different from Sai Kung. They were both country areas. The land from Wong Tai Sin to Kai Tak Airport was all farmland and there was neither electricity supply nor proper forms of transportation.

  • 4 Cultural Heritage Impact
    MTR Corpor ation Ltd. SCL – NEX/2206 EIA Study for Tai Wai to Hung Hom Section Final Environmental Impact Assessment Report 4 Cultural Heritage Impact 4.1 Introduction The EIA Study Brief for SCL requires a Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment (CHIA) comprising a Built Heritage Impact Assessment (BHIA) and an Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) to be conducted. The BHIA needs to search historic buildings, clan graves and landscape features within the study area while the AIA requires a terrestrial investigation of the archaeological potential of the study area, particularly the former Tai Hom Village Archaeological Site. The field investigation for former Tai Hom Village was carried out in March 2009. Tang/ Song Dynasty remains found are sparse and redeposited and hence of lesser archaeological significance. However, assemblage of Tang/ Song archaeological finds within urban setting is considered rare in Hong Kong. Other than the former Tai Hom Village Archaeological Site, the CHIA has also studied the impacts on the 3 historical buildings within former Tai Hom Village and, after studying their cultural significance and all possible options, recommended the most appropriate mitigation measures. The possible impacts caused by the construction and operation of the Project on other built heritages including but not limited to the Lung Tsun Stone Bridge have also been studied and the impacts have been minimised by adopting alternative construction methodologies. More details of the assessment findings and mitigation measures are given in this Chapter. 4.2 Environmental Legislation, Standards and Guidelines The assessment and protection of cultural heritage within HKSAR is governed by the following legislative standards and guidelines: • Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO); • Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance; and • Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines (HKPSG).

In fact, this understanding of history undermines the treatments of history and humankind by Marx and Engels: “But life involves, before everything else, eating and drinking, a habitation, clothing, and many other things. The first historical act is thus the production of the means to satisfy these needs, the production of material life itself. And indeed this is a historical act, a fundamental condition of all history, which today, as thousands of years ago, must daily and hourly be fulfilled merely in order to sustain human life.”72 Whereas Marxist materialism is foremost interested in life as a collective historical trend in which the individual is considered a mere means of production, Wang is more concerned about life as a private practice against the massive political forces of history.

  • Hung Hom Station to Transform Into an Upgraded Interchange Hub New Interchange Arrangements for the East Rail Line and West Rail Line
    PR040/21 7 June 2021 Hung Hom Station to Transform into an Upgraded Interchange Hub New Interchange Arrangements for the East Rail Line and West Rail Line The new Tuen Ma Line (“TML”) platform at Hung Hom Station (“HUH”) will be opened on 20 June 2021 (Sunday), i.e. one week before the commissioning of TML, and new interchange arrangements for the West Rail Line (“WRL”) and the East Rail Line (“EAL”) will be in place on the same day. A series of upgrading works, including the construction of new platforms, have been implemented at HUH to cope with the full opening of the TML, as well as the commissioning of the Cross-Harbour Section of EAL. The new platforms will be put into service in phases according to the progress of the two projects. While the Cross-Harbour Section of EAL is still under construction, upon the opening of the new TML platform at HUH, passengers have to pass through the concourse to reach the existing EAL platform and the WRL (future TML) platform for changing between EAL and WRL (future TML) at HUH. (Please refer to annex for details). Passengers will have to follow the new interchange arrangements until the commissioning of the Cross-Harbour Section of EAL and the full launch of the new two-level platforms at HUH. By then passengers will be taking the EAL and TML at the new platforms. “Signage with colours corresponding to the relevant rail lines will be installed to direct passengers to the platforms they want to go to. We will also deploy additional staff, put up notices and make public announcements to assist and remind passengers of the new arrangements.

  • Section13-LV Impact 28 July 01
    Agreement No. CE32/99 Kowloon Development Office Comprehensive Feasibility Study for the Revised Scheme of Territory Development Department, Hong Kong South East Kowloon Development 13.5.3 Phasing of Development 13.5.3.1 For the purposes of this study, the SEKD is proposed to be constructed in three key phases. These are as follows: Phase Proposed Construction Date Development Proposed 1 2003 – 2008 NAKTA Development 2 2003 -– 2010 KTAC / KTTS Reclamation 2005 – 2011 Building / Road / Drainage / Open Space / Landscape / etc. Works 3 2005 – 2014 KBR Reclamation 2006 – 2015 Building / Road / Drainage / Open Space / Landscape / etc. Works 13.5.3.2 This phasing the works will affect the impact assessment due to the timing of sensitive receivers being affected and duration of certain impacts. With respect to the landscape, the effects of phasing are less critical as the impacts are more tangible and tend not to be related to timing. However, the effects on the visual impact assessment are more acute due to: (a) Total period of time that VSRs may be affected by construction works within their views; (b) Earlier phases of works may in themselves become VSRs for the later works, e.g. parts of the population intake within Phase 2 NAKTA will be visually sensitive when Phase 3 is constructed; and (c) Conversely, certain VSRs will be screened from Phase 3 works, when Phase 2 is completed. 13.5.3.3 These factors will be considered within the impact assessments as appropriate. 13.6 Planning Review 13.6.1 Introduction 13.6.1.1 In accordance with the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance Technical Memorandum Annex 18, a review of the existing statutory planning of the study area has been undertaken.
