TFHK/01/2021 on 17 May 2021
Task Force on Harbourfront Developments on Hong Kong Island For discussion TFHK/01/2021 on 17 May 2021 Boardwalk underneath Island Eastern Corridor PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to brief the Task Force on the latest architectural and landscaping design of the proposed Boardwalk underneath Island Eastern Corridor (IEC) (Boardwalk). The paper will also update the Task Force on the latest progress, works area requirements and proposed management arrangement of the Boardwalk. BACKGROUND 2. The proposed Boardwalk is a major harbourfront enhancement initiative on Hong Kong Island. Successful implementation of the proposed Boardwalk could set a role model for the forth-coming promenade projects, especially those coastal areas which cannot be developed into a promenade due to various reasons. 3. The proposed Boardwalk is approximately 2.2 kilometres (km) long and maintains a width of at least 10 metres (m) wide throughout and comprises a western and eastern section. The western section will run from Oil Street to Tong Shui Road (approximately 0.7 km long), while the eastern section will run from Tin Chiu Street to Hoi Yu Street (approximately 1.1 km long). These two sections will be connected by the North Point Promenade (approximately 0.4 km long). Upon completion, the proposed Boardwalk will connect the existing or planned promenade at Shek Tong Tsui in Western District and Aldrich Bay in Shau Kei Wan, providing a continuous promenade of some 12 km long for public enjoyment. 4. Both the Task Force and the Eastern District Council (EDC) have been closely engaged in the planning of the Boardwalk project over the past few years. -

Legislative Council Brief Free-Flow Tolling
File Ref.: THB(T)CR 1/4651/2019 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL BRIEF Road Tunnels (Government) Ordinance (Chapter 368) Road Traffic Ordinance (Chapter 374) Tsing Sha Control Area Ordinance (Chapter 594) FREE-FLOW TOLLING (MISCELLANEOUS AMENDMENTS) BILL 2021 INTRODUCTION At the meeting of the Executive Council on 16 March 2021, the Council ADVISED and the Chief Executive ORDERED that the Free-Flow Tolling A (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill 2021 (“the Bill”) , at Annex A, should be introduced into the Legislative Council (“LegCo”). JUSTIFICATIONS 2. At present, a motorist using a government tolled tunnel 1 or Tsing Sha Control Area (“TSCA”) (hereafter collectively referred to as “Tolled Tunnels”) may stop at a toll booth to pay the toll manually by tendering cash or prepaid toll tickets to a toll collector, or using the “stop-and-go” electronic payment facilities installed thereat. Alternatively, a motorist who drives a vehicle with an Autotoll tag issued by the Autotoll Limited (a private company) may pass through an Autotoll booth without stopping, with the toll payable deducted from a prepaid account. 3. The Hong Kong Smart City Blueprint published in December 2017 promulgated, among others, the development of toll tag (previously known as “in- vehicle unit”) for allowing motorists to pay tunnel tolls by remote means through an automatic tolling system, namely the “free-flow tolling system” (“FFTS”). In the Smart City Blueprint 2.0 published in December 2020, one of the Smart Mobility 1 Covering Cross-Harbour Tunnel, Eastern Harbour Crossing (“EHC”), Lion Rock Tunnel, Shing Mun Tunnels, Aberdeen Tunnel, Tate’s Cairn Tunnel and will cover the two Build-Operate- Transfer (“BOT”) tunnels, viz. -
MTR Penny's Bay Rail Link
File Ref: ETWB(T) CR 3/5/511/98 Pt.4 Legislative Council Panel on Transport Subcommittee on matters relating to the implementation of railway development projects MTR Penny’s Bay Rail Link – Project Agreement INTRODUCTON At the special meeting of this subcommittee held on 22 July 2002, Members requested MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL) to provide additional information on the fare level of PBRL rail service, and the estimated additional revenue induced by the Penny's Bay Rail Link (PBRL) to the rest of the MTR network. A letter dated 24 July 2002 from the Project Director of the MTRCL to the Acting Secretary for the Environment, Transport and Works is attached at the Annex. PROJECTED CAPITAL COST OF THE PBRL 2. The capital cost is estimated to be $2 Billion. This represents a 23% reduction from the original capital cost estimate of $2.6 Billion. As we have informed this Subcommittee earlier, the estimate has taken into account the current economic situation, the recent deflationary trend, various cost-saving measures initiated by MTRCL and we believe that it is a realistic estimate of the construction cost. - 2 - 3. The construction costs of different railway projects are subject to various varying factors such as length, design, physical constraints etc, and are therefore not completely comparable. Nevertheless, a comparison between the PBRL and Tseung Kwan O Extension shows that the PBRL cost estimate is within reasonable range, bearing in mind that the design, construction and material used in the PBRL project must be commensurate with the standards of the Hong Kong Disneyland : Comparison between Tseung Kwan O Extension (TKO) and Penny’s Bay Rail Link (PBRL) TKO Extension PBRL Length 12.5 km 3.5 km Number of 5 2 stations $18 Billion $2 Billion Cost ESTIMATED INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN 4. -
