The motion was seconded by Mr PAU Ming-hong. Members endorsed the minutes unanimously. Introduction of /Consultation Paper The Latest Progress on The Proposed Lift and Pedestrian Walkway System between Lai Cho Road and Wah Yiu Road (Proposed by the Highways Department) (TTC Paper No. 25/D/2019) 4. Mr TSE Mang-hin, Senior Engineer/ NT3 of Highways Department (HyD) briefly introduced the Paper. 5. Mr WONG Yiu-chung said that the lift and pedestrian access construction (the alternative plan) was managed by the Housing Department (HD) and it could not replace the hillside construction project from Lai Cho Road to Wah Yiu Road (the original plan) managed by HyD. The demand for the hillside construction project of residents in nearby housing estates was great and the alternative plan could only benefit residents at the lower part of the hill but not residents at the upper part of the hill. In contrast, the original plan could favour residents at the upper part of the hill. Hence, he advised HD and HyD to carry out two constructions separately and implement the plan of HyD as soon as possible. 6. Mr TSE Mang-hin responded that the alternative plan by HD would have a larger coverage and would be more comfortable and convenient than the original plan by HyD. Since the distance between two projects was short, after discussion with the consultants 3 Responsible Department and Transport Department (TD), it was thought that the plan of HD could replace the original plan due to the consideration of resources. 7. Mr CHAN Tsz-tat, Senior Engineer/ Kwai Tsing of TD gave a response as follows: (i) The alternative plan was obviously more advantageous than the original plan. (ii) There were pathways on the podium of Wah Yiu House linking the intersection of Lai Yiu Street and Wah Yiu Road stated in the alternative plan. Regarding Member’s recommendation, there were difficulties in constructing a lift tower as the slope near Wah Yiu House was steep. A more detailed study needed to be carried out. However, Members’ advice was noted. 8. Mr LEUNG Tsz-wing, Dennis said that two projects were raised by different departments respectively. The original plan could bring easy access for residents of Lai Yiu Estate and the alternative plan could benefit residents of the newly built public housing estate. He thought that there was no conflict between the two projects as they would benefit residents of different housing estates therefore it was inappropriate to choose one out of the two. Allocating the passenger flow to single system might also worsen the congestion at Kwai Fong MTR Station. The Kwai Fong Interchange had been packed nowadays and unable to load further. He hoped that the Departments could implement two projects at the same time. 9. Mr WONG Yiu-chung put forth opinions and enquiries as follows: (i) He asked why the Departments pointed out the problem of the original plan belatedly. He said that the hillside construction had been raised for 7 years since 2012 and no data was provided that the original plan encountered technical problem. (ii) Allocating the passenger flow to Kwai Fong Station would increase the traffic stress near Kwai Yi Road. (iii) Two plans were raised by two departments and the target residents were different. The original plan aimed to provide service for residents near Lai Yiu Estate and there were insufficient transport facilities at Lai King 4 Responsible Department Hill. The original plan should be refined to bring convenience to residents but not be replaced. 10. Mr CHOW Yick-hay said that the department needed to consider the living habits of residents. The original plan could improve traffic issues in the community and the alternative plan should be reserved, two plans should therefore continue at the same time. 11. Mr SIN Ho-fai, Henry enquired about the construction cost of two plans and whether the cost of the alternative plan would be lower. 12. Mr CHOW Wai-hung, Rayman said that the alternative plan only provided two lifts. However, with the completion of the new public housing estate, population would grow and two lifts were insufficient to serve new population. Hence, the original plan should not be replaced but be improved with the alternative plan to extend the pedestrian access to arriving not only Kwai Fong but also Lai King. 13. Mr TSE Mang-hin gave a consolidated response as follows: (i) About the budget, it was unknown about the related cost as HD was responsible for the alternative plan. The hillside construction project in the original plan was still being studied. There was no detailed design yet, therefore, exact figures could not be provided now. (ii) The consultants and the departments thought that the locations of two systems were close to each other and the target of service was similar. The location of HD’s plan was more convenient and it was more comfortable for pedestrians. (iii) He noted the Members’ opinions and understood the request of adding a lift tower. However, HyD was focusing on studying 114 hillside systems in Hong Kong at the moment. Hence, HyD would discuss with TD and the relevant advice would be considered in the near future. 14. Mr CHAN Tze-tat gave a consolidated response as follows: (i) TD had studied the road section from Wah Yiu House to Wah Yiu Road for many times and pointed out that there were slopes near the stair, which belonged to retaining walls.
