  • 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.

  • Regional and Hong Kong's Transport Network Planning Framework
    This subject paper is intended to be a research paper on the results of studies or surveys from government land private sectors that are pertinent to the subject on Regional and Hong Kong's Transport Network Planning Framework. The views and analyses as contained in this paper are intended to stimulate public discussion and input to the planning process of the "HK2030 Study" and do not imply endorsement of the HKSARG. WORKING PAPER NO. 21 REGIONAL AND HONG KONG'S TRANSPORT NETWORK PLANNING FRAMEWORK Introduction 1. Railways and expressways are the main arteries of cities. They are the backbones to facilitate movements of goods and people. The prosperity and growth of a city depend very much on the efficient operation and development of its circulation systems. 2. This paper gives an overview of the existing and future strategic transport network in particular road and railway infrastructure in the Guangdong Province of the Mainland China 1. It also examines the present and future development of our Hong Kong's transport network in order to set the basic framework for planning an integrated transport system in the next stage of the study. Regional Transport Network I. Guangdong Province A. Road Infrastructure Exisitng Road Infrastrucutre 3. To accelerate the modernisation of transportation in China, in the early 1990s, the Ministry of Transportation put forward a strategic and ambitious distribution plan for the national trunk road system. Highways in China can be classified into 6 technical categories. They are expressway, Class I to IV Highways and others. According to the Guangdong Statistical Bureau (Table 1), there were a total of about 95,610km of roads covering the Guangdong Province in 1999, of which 953 km (1%) were expressway and 17,199km (18%) were Classes I and II highways.

  • Island Eastern Corridor Boardwalk-Cycleway Feasibility Study
    Task Force on Harbourfront Developments on Hong Kong Island For discussion TFHK/03/2012 on 12 January 2012 Island Eastern Corridor Boardwalk-Cycleway Feasibility Study PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to understand and promote the feasibility of incorporating the Harbourfront Cycleway into the Island Eastern Corridor Boardwalk proposed in the Hong Kong Island East Harbour-front Study. BACKGROUND 2. The Hong Kong Island East Harbour-front Study (HKIEHS) placed especial emphasis on the need for “connectivity” and “accessibility to the harbourfront”. 3. A key proposal of the HKIEHS was that the creation of a continuous accessible harbourfront area around North Point is best served by the erection of a 2-kilometre public boardwalk under the existing Island Eastern Corridor. The proposal offers movement only on foot, not by bicycle. 4. Reference is made to the presentation made by Hong Kong Cycling Alliance to the Harbourfront Commission, on 7 September 2011, proposing a Harbourfront Cycleway from Kennedy Town to Heng Fa Chuen. This paper addresses only the Island Eastern Corridor section of that cycleway. Locality 5. It is further noted that, at present, the Fortress Hill-North Point area has extremely poor connectivity to the harbour because of the blocking effect of the IEC. The layout of the area also constrains the surface movement of people along essentially two roads, whether on foot, in a public or private motor vehicle or by bicycle. This exposes all cyclists to busy and fast traffic conditions that may deter some from passing through this area at all. Task Force on Harbourfront Developments on Hong Kong Island TFHK/03/2012 Boardwalk proposal 6.
