Basic Information 1.1 Project Title The title of this project is known as MTR Tsim Sha Tsui Station Carnarvon Road Subway and Entrances Modification Works (hereafter called the “Project”). 1.2 Project Description To improve the appearance of Carnarvon Road entrances D1 and D2 of Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) Station and to provide a more comfortable walking environment nearby, MTR Corporation Limited (the Corporation) proposes to rebuild the entrances D1 and D2 and to construct a new entrance D3 at the basement B2 level of the K11 Art Mall connected to the TST station by a subway. The subway extends from the Entrances D1 and D2 at the middle of the TST Station, running approximately 80m along Carnarvon Road and across the Bristol Avenue to the basement B2 level (at -4.5mPD) of the K11 Art Mall, as shown in Figure 1.1 . The tentative overall programme for the Project is from mid 2013 to mid 2015, whereas the tentative schedule involving the open-cut construction works when the traffic impact is most severe is from mid 2013 to the mid of 2015. 1.3 Number and Types of Designated Projects to be Covered by the Project Profile The Project will involve modification of the two existing entrances of TST Station, construction of the Subway and one integrated entrance to K11. The proposed Subway will be fully air-conditioned and is approximately 3.2m internal width and approximately 80m in total length (i.e. walking distance) with access to K11. The section of the Works from the existing TST station up to the lot boundary of the K11 Art Mall will be gazetted under the Railways Ordinance. In accordance with Section 9(2)(g) of the Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance (EIAO)(Cap. 499 ), the existing MTR TST Station is an exempted designated project since the TST Station had been in operation before the Ordinance came into effect on 1 April 1998. Since the proposed works involves physical alternation to the existing Station and may have potential environmental impacts, it is considered as a project constituting a material change to an exempted designated project under Schedule 2 of the EIAO. The procedures under the EIAO should be followed and an environmental permit is required prior to the commencement of the modification works. Under these circumstances, this Project Profile aims to provide information to show that a Direct Application for an Environmental Permit would be most practical. 1.4 Name of Project Proponent MTR Corporation Limited MTR Tower Telford Plaza Kowloon Bay Hong Kong 272199/MNT/ENL/01/A5 P:\Hong Kong\ENL\PROJECTS\272199 Carnavon Road MTRC\Project Profile\rtc to EPD_1\PP Rev_A5\Project Profile_Rev A5.doc 1 Consultancy Agreement No. NEX/1049 Tsim Sha Tsui Station Carnarvon Road Subway Project Profile 1.5 Location of the Project The Project is located in Tsim Sha Tsui district which is an urban area with a mixture of commercial and residential developments. The proposed works lie along Carnarvon Road between Nathan Road and Bristol Avenue where high traffic volume is anticipated. The location and alignment of the subway is shown in Figure 1.1 . The plan and elevation are shown in Figure 1.2 . The past land use for the Project site is the existing MTR entrances and the Carnarvon Road. 1.6 Name and Telephone Number of Contact Person(s) For details of the Project please contact: Mr. Richard Kwan Environmental Manager MTR Corporation Limited Tel : 2993 2111 Fax : 2993 7577 Email : [email protected] 1.7 Proposed Addition, Modification or Alteration The proposed works are required to construct a new pedestrian subway under Carnarvon Road which extends from the existing MTR Tsim Sha Tsui Station concourse to the basement of the K11 Art Mall, and modify the existing Entrance D1 and Entrance D2 of the station, as shown in Appendix I . The new pedestrian subway, together with a dedicated public passageway within the K11 Art Mall and the existing interchange subway along Mody Road and Blenheim Avenue, will provide an alternative route between MTR Tsim Sha Tsui Station and East Tsim Sha Tsui Station. The new pedestrian subway connecting to the existing subway network together with the modified entrances will provide a more direct, convenient, safe and comfortable access for pedestrians and MTR passengers to travel to and from the area of MTR Tsim Sha Tsui Station, as shown in Figure 1.2 . The proposed works involve the following: • Construction of: − A pedestrian subway of approximately 80 metres in length underneath Carnarvon Road; − An underground plant room beneath the western end of
