Legco Letter 22 April
CB(1)1429/08-09(01) Hon Cheung Hok-ming, SBS, JP Chairman Panel on Transport Legislative Council Legislative Council Building 8 Jackson Road, Central Hong Kong Dear Mr. Cheung, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge (‘HZMB’) and public opposition to the Hong Kong Link Road (‘HKLR’) route The purpose of this letter is to urgently bring to the attention of the Panel on Transport the extent of public opposition to the proposed route of the HKLR of the HZMB after the bridge ‘lands’ in Hong Kong territory. Tung Chung Sustainable Development and other local organisations working to promote sustainable development have voiced concerns to the Highways Department regarding the impact of the proposed HKLR route and made counter proposals for a viable alternative. We request the Legislative Council Panel on Transport to urgently review the counter proposal and take account of the public opposition to the road route proposed by the Highways Department. Details of the negative impact of the HD / Arup proposed route for the HKLR for the HZMB are in the attached documents. Most importantly, the proposed route will have a huge negative impact on the health of local residents because of the proximity of vehicle emissions from a major highway. As management professionals we favour sustainable development and do not appose the construction of the HZMB, but we do object to the proposed route. We urge you to table the details of the no pollution solution to the Panel on Transport during your meeting on Friday 24th April. Yours sincerely, (Martin Purbrick) for Tung Chung Sustainable Development Alliance c.c.

"Top Things To Do in Hong Kong" City of the future, Hong Kong boasts a blend of beautiful mountain parks and vibrant modern architecture. Busy, bustling, yet always charismatic, Hong Kong is Asia's ultimate city sensation. Gecreëerd door : Cityseeker 10 Locaties in uw favorieten Victoria Peak "Hong Kong's Top Tourist Stop" At a height of 552 meters (1,811 feet), Victoria Peak is Hong Kong's highest point and one of the most visited of the island's many attractions. The Peak, as it is locally known, boasts spectacular views of the city's skyline, backed by the bustling Victoria Harbour. By night, the view transforms into a glittering sea of vibrant lights. A walk around the Peak by Daniel Case reveals views over the greener Western parts of Hong Kong Island, and a visit to the viewing platforms at the Peak Tower and Peak Galleria is a must. It is a steep climb to the top, and while hikers are welcome, an inexpensive tram is also available. The oldest funicular in Asia, the Peak Tram is over 125 years old. With a steep ascent, the tram links Central to the Peak Tower. The Peak is also known for its lovely gardens, most notably that of the old governor’s summer lodge with its faux-Victorian design. Once there, you're likely to see birds, butterflies, and giant dragonflies as well. www.hk-victoria-peak.com/ [email protected] 1 Lugard Road, Hong Kong Big Buddha "Bronzen Boeddha" Ondanks dat dit vrij ver is van het centrum van Hong Kong (een tochtje met een ferry en een soms wat enge busrit) is het de moeite van een bezoek zeker waard.
