  • TFHK/07/2018 on 7 September 2018
    Task Force on Harbourfront Developments on Hong Kong Island For discussion TFHK/07/2018 On 7 September 2018 Study on Pedestrian Connectivity between Wan Chai and Sheung Wan PURPOSE This paper seeks Members’ views on the proposed walkway alignments and improvement schemes developed under the Feasibility Study of Pedestrian Connectivity on Hong Kong Island North between Wan Chai and Sheung Wan (the Study), the study area of which falls partly within the purview of the Harbourfront Commission. BACKGROUND 2. The Chief Executive announced the “Walk in HK” initiative in the 2017 Policy Address to encourage people to walk more and rely less on motorised transport. The Government will implement new measures along four themes: (a) “Make it smart” by providing user-friendly information on walking routes; (b) “Make it connected” by enhancing pedestrian networks; (c) “Make it enjoyable” by making walking a pleasant experience; and (d) “Make it safe” by providing a safe and quality pedestrian environment. 3. At present, several grade-separated pedestrian networks are available in Wan Chai, Admiralty, Central and Sheung Wan forming a few detached walkway systems on their own. However, these separate walkway systems are not well connected with one another and often pedestrian movements across these districts would need to make use of the existing footpaths and at-grade crossings, which vary in terms of pedestrian comfort and safety. 4. To promote “Walk in HK”, one of the initiatives we are now investigating is to enhance the connection between these Task Force on Harbourfront Developments on Hong Kong Island TFHK/07/2018 existing footbridge networks in Central / Sheung Wan, Admiralty and Wan Chai to provide a continuous east – west pedestrian walkway.

  • Historic Building Appraisal of the Eight New Items
    N77 Historic Building Appraisal Kowloon City Ferry Piers, Passenger Pier, To Kwa Wan, Kowloon Along the coastline of To Kwa Wan (土瓜灣), Passenger Pier (客輪碼頭) of Historical the Kowloon City Ferry Piers (九龍城碼頭) were completed in 1956. The pier Interest bears witness to the development of Hong Kong’s transport and the development of eastern Kowloon in the second half of the 20th century. The idea of a ferry pier in Kowloon City was mooted in 1951 when the Harbour Ferry Services Advisory Committee recommended that first priority should be given to a new passenger ferry service between Kowloon City and Wan Chai. The pier was bought into use on 3 July 1956, when ferry service of Hong Kong and Yaumati Ferry Company (香港油蔴地小輪船有限公司) (HKYFC) started operating between Kowloon City and Tonnochy Road Ferry Pier (杜老誌道碼頭) of Wan Chai. However, this ferry service was terminated since 24 June 1967 due to the outbreak of riots that year. Another passenger ferry service between Kowloon City and North Point, which is still in operation at present, was launched in 1963. Moreover, from 1975 to 1980 there was also a ferry service between Kowloon City and Sau Kei Wan (筲箕灣), the Hong Kong-side of which was changed to Tai Koo Shing (太 古城) between 1980 and 1983. Ferry service between Kowloon City and Sai Wan Ho (西灣河) was maintained between 1983 and 1987. Nowadays, the Kowloon City pier only serves ferry service to North Point. The Passenger Pier is a utilitarian structure in the Modernist or International Architectural Modern style, featuring flat roof, smooth flat plain undecorated surfaces often Merit painted white, the complete elimination of all mouldings and ornament, and the adoption of reinforced concrete post-and-slab construction with flat slab floors and a flat roof-slab carried on concrete columns or posts.
