PRESS STATEMENT 13 November 2019 MTR Unable to Provide
PRESS STATEMENT 13 November 2019 MTR Unable to Provide Normal Services Due to Repeated Vandalism by Rioters The MTR network and facilities have been repeatedly vandalised over the past several days. A total of seven rail lines were affected today (13 November 2019) and train service on some of the lines had to be fully or partially suspended. Furthermore, seven stations were forced to close as station facilities were maliciously damaged or operations were disrupted. A large number of commuters all over Hong Kong was adversely affected because of these incidents. The MTR Corporation strongly condemns the rioters’ acts which endangered the safety of passengers, MTR staff and railway operations. The Corporation has reported the cases to the Police and reserves the right to take legal action against the parties concerned. After the end of service hours yesterday, rioters broke into several closed stations to set fires and vandalise trains, stations and trackside equipment. On the East Rail Line, there were arson attacks that targeted two trains stabled at Sheung Shui Station and a train stabled at University Station. Another train stabled at Mong Kok East Station was also damaged. In addition, a track-side signaling equipment room near Fo Tan was attacked. Considering these stations had already been damaged during the day yesterday, the Corporation had no choice but to suspend the train service of the East Rail Line from the start of traffic hours today. Following recovery efforts by engineering personnel, train service between Hung Hom and Tai Wai stations resumed at around 5pm with trains by-passing Kowloon Tong Station. -

Promoting Universal Accessibility of the East Kowloon Harbor Front
Promoting Universal Accessibility of the East Kowloon Harbor Front Zachary Harmony Meagan Hiatt Paige Waechter Chuankai Zhou 44-SS7-C154 Promoting Universal Accessibility of the East Kowloon Harbor Front An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted by: Zachary Harmony Meagan Hiatt Paige Waechter Chuankai Zhou Submitted to: Professor Hendrik Tieben, School of Architecture Chinese University of Hong Kong Dr. Sujata Govada, School of Architecture Chinese University of Hong Kong and Urban Design and Planning International Project Advisors: Professor Creighton Peet, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Professor Stephan Sturm, Worcester Polytechnic Institute Date: March 6, 2015 ii Abstract The pedestrian scheme that emerged from the former industrial district of Kwun Tong, Hong Kong developed without the consideration of pedestrian universal accessibility. Our goal was to propose a universally accessible pedestrian model to reach the East Kowloon harbor front. Through surveys and exploration of pedestrian pathways, we found inconsistencies in the degree of accessibility, stemming from the lack of Hong Kong accessibility standards. Our recommendations include implementing a wheelchair ramp slope standard, uniformly wide sidewalks, and more prevalent signage. iii Acknowledgements We would like to thank the following individuals, organizations and institutions for supporting us throughout the completion of this project: The School of Architecture, Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) for sponsoring our project, and for providing work accommodations and valuable resources. Our sponsors, Professor Hendrik Tieben from CUHK and Dr. Sujata Govada with Urban Design and Planning International, for all their invaluable resources, insight and guidance throughout this project.
