2018 Hong Kong Cyclothon 1. Objectives 2. Event Background Islands District Council Traffic and Transport Committee Document T&TC No. 20/2018 2018 Hong Kong Cyclothon 1. Objectives 1.1 The 2018 Hong Kong Cyclothon, organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, is scheduled to be held on 14 October 2018. This document outlines to the Islands District Council Traffic and Transport Committee the event information and traffic arrangements for 2018 Hong Kong Cyclothon. 2. Event Background 2.1. Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) is tasked to market and promote Hong Kong as a travel destination worldwide and to enhance visitors' experience in Hong Kong, by hosting different mega events. 2.2. The Hong Kong Cyclothon was debuted in 2015 in the theme of “Sports for All” and “Exercise for a Good Cause”. Over the past three years, the event attracted more than 13,000 local and overseas cyclists to participate in various cycling programmes, as well as professional cyclists from around the world to compete in the International Criterium Race, which was sanctioned by Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and The Cycling Association of Hong Kong, China Limited (CAHK). The 50km Ride is the first cycling activity which covers “Three Tunnels and Three Bridges (Tsing Ma Bridge, Ting Kau Bridge, Stonecutters Bridge, Cheung Tsing Tunnel, Nam Wan Tunnel, Eagle’s Nest Tunnel)” in the route. Last year, over 51,000 visitors and locals alike flocked to watch the races in Tsim Sha Tsui. 2.3. Besides, all the entry fees from the CEO Charity and Celebrity Ride, Kids & Youth Rides and Family Fun Ride and partial amount of the entry fee from other rides/ races will be donated to the beneficiaries of the event. Last year, the event raised a total of HK$2.68 million and benefitted two different charitable organisations. 2.4. To echo with the Development Blueprint for Hong Kong's Tourism Industry released by the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau last year, HKTB hopes that Hong Kong Cyclothon will become an Asia’s celebrated branded event and attract more cyclists and tourists from around the world to participate. In turn, HKTB can further promote Hong Kong as a destination for international sports event and reinforce its status as the events capital of Asia. 2.5. In the long run, upon the completion of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, HKTB plans to cooperate with the governments of Macau and Zhuhai, and other organizations in developing the event into an annual mega event in the Greater Bay Area. 1 3. 2018 Event Information 3.1 Event Date 2018 Hong Kong Cyclothon is scheduled for 14 October 2018 (Sunday). 3.2 Route (Please refer to Appendix 1 for more detailed information on race route) 3.2.1 50km Ride and 30km Ride HKTB will continue to organise the 50km Ride and 30km Ride this year, with an aim to attract short haul markets visitors from South China regions, Taiwan, Korea and Southeast Asia regions to join the event with local citizens.

Adequate planning and temporary traffic arrangements, including providing alternative routings will be in place.

  • T and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong
    Measurement and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong By: Michael Audi, Kathryn Byorkman, Alison Couture, Suzanne Najem ZRH006 Measurement and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the faculty of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for Degree of Bachelor of Science In cooperation with Designing Kong Hong, Ltd. and The Harbour Business Forum On March 4, 2010 Submitted by: Submitted to: Michael Audi Paul Zimmerman Kathryn Byorkman Margaret Brooke Alison Couture Dr. Sujata Govada Suzanne Najem Roger Nissim Professor Robert Kinicki Professor Zhikun Hou ii | P a g e Abstract Though Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour is world-renowned, the harbor front districts are far from walkable. The WPI team surveyed 16 waterfront districts, four in-depth, assessing their walkability using a tool created by the research team and conducted preference surveys to understand the perceptions of Hong Kong pedestrians. Because pedestrians value the shortest, safest, least-crowded, and easiest to navigate routes, this study found that confusing routes, unsafe or indirect connections, and a lack of amenities detract from the walkability in Hong Kong. This report provides new data concerning the walkability in harbor front districts and a tool to measure it, along with recommendations for potential improvements. iii | P a g e Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the many people that helped us over the course of this project. First, we would like to thank our sponsors Paul Zimmerman, Dr. Sujata Govada, Margaret Brooke, and Roger Nissim for their help and dedication throughout our project and for providing all of the resources and contacts that we required.

  • 1 Introduction
    Agreement No. CE 80/2001 (DS) Mott Connell Ltd Drainage Improvement in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung – Tsuen Wan Drainage Tunnel Environmental Impact Assessment 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The Drainage Services Department (DSD) completed the “Stormwater Drainage Master Plan (DMP) Study in Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi” in July 1999. In that Study it was identified that the drainage systems in Tsing Yi could meet the current flood protection standard in general, but not the drainage systems in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung. A series of drainage improvement works including the “Drainage Improvement in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung – Tsuen Wan Drainage Tunnel” (The Project) and the “Drainage Improvement in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung – Urban Drainage Improvement Works” were proposed, and subsequently DSD commissioned a Preliminary Project Feasibility Study (PPFS) for “Drainage Improvement in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung – Package A, Tsuen Wan Drainage Tunnel” which was completed in April 2000. The PPFS concluded that the construction of a tunnel of an internal diameter of 6.5m and length 5.35km should be implemented to alleviate the flooding risk in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung. At the end of October 2002, Mott Connell Limited (MCL) was commissioned by the Drainage Services Department under Agreement No. CE 80/2001 (DS) to carry out the investigation and preliminary design for the “Drainage Improvement in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung – Tsuen Wan Drainage Tunnel” (The Project). The primary objective of the Project is to develop an optimum preliminary design of the proposed tunnel and associated drainage structures based on the recommendations of the Preliminary Project Feasibility Study Report (PPFS), the Stormwater Drainage Master Plan Study in Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi (DMP) and the results of the various investigations to be carried out under this Assignment.
