Noise Pollution, On-Road Safety and the Overall Quality of the Ambient Environment Consultancy Agreement No. NEX/2213 EIA Study for Shatin to Central Link - Hung Hom to Admiralty Section MTR Corporation Limited Environmental Impact Assessment Report (Final) 2. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES Introduction 2.1 Various options and alternatives of project design and construction methods have been reviewed and considered in the course of the development and selection of preferred scheme for SCL (HUH- ADM), taking account of engineering feasibility, site constraints, programme and environmental aspects. This section presents the details of the options and alternatives considered, and the constraints and considerations assessed in adopting the preferred scheme and construction method. Background Information Purpose and Objective of the Project 2.2 The SCL is strategically important for connecting the existing railway lines into an integrated rail network. The east-west connection, will allow the creation of a 57km east-west corridor across the city connecting Wu Kai Sha with Tuen Mun via Kowloon. The north-south connection will operate over a 41km north-south corridor with services originating in Lok Ma Chau or Lo Wo travelling via the existing East Rail Line to Admiralty Station (ADM). This will facilitate a direct link between Mainland China and Hong Kong Island. 2.3 As part of the SCL, the objective of the SCL (HUH-ADM) (which is the Project being considered in this EIA Report) is to extend the existing East Rail Line from Hung Hom Station (HUH) to the north shore of Hong Kong Island and the Central Business District, providing convenient interchanges at HUH, Exhibition Station (EXH) and ADM. Brief Description of the Project 2.4 The proposed SCL is an extension of the existing Ma On Shan Line via East Kowloon and connect to West Rail Line at Hung Hom, and an extension of the existing East Rail Line from Hung Hom to Admiralty crossing Victoria Harbour. It comprises approximately 17 kilometres of rail line that will connect several existing railway lines, creating two distinct east-west and north-south railway corridors, and provide interchange opportunities, with six of its ten stations (Tai Wai, Diamond Hill, Homantin, Hung Hom, Exhibition and Admiralty). Figure No. NEX2213/C/331/ENS/M50/001 illustrates an overview of the SCL alignment. 2.5 The SCL (HUH-ADM) is an approximately 6km long East Rail Line extension from HUH across the harbour to new EXH and ADM, with provisions to facilitate a possible station at Central in the longer term. This section of SCL alignment will be entirely underground while the associated ventilation building, ventilation shafts, plant rooms and station entrances will form aboveground structures. Scope of the Project 2.6 The Project comprises the following key elements: An approximately 6km extension of the East Rail Line including a rail harbour crossing from Hung Hom to Admiralty on Hong Kong Island; A new EXH located near the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC); An integrated ADM for the existing urban lines, the future SCL and South Island Line (East) (SIL(E)); Ventilation buildings, ventilation shafts, smoke extraction facilities and other associated works of the Project; and AECOM Asia Company Ltd 2-1 Nov 2011 Sec 2_Final Consultancy Agreement No. NEX/2213 EIA Study for Shatin to Central Link - Hung Hom to Admiralty Section MTR Corporation Limited Environmental Impact Assessment Report (Final) Demolition of the existing Kowloon Freight Building at south of HUH to facilitate the construction of the Project. 2.7 Apart from the above key elements, barging facilities, supporting works areas and access roads will be required to support the construction of the Project. 2.8 It should be noted that the works at the HUH would be within the scope of SCL (MKK-HUH). The design and construction of the ADM including associated structures for the SCL (HUH-ADM) will be carried out by the SIL(E) whilst the construction of the overrun tunnel beyond ADM and minor building works will be carried out under SCL (HUH-ADM). Benefits of the Project 2.9 The SCL is an important strategic rail corridor purposed for forming an expanded railway network in Hong Kong that will bring various benefits to the community in return: Providing a fast, reliable and convenient mode of transport running through the northern New Territories, Kowloon and Hong Kong Island; Redistributing railway passenger flows to relieve the existing railway lines in urban Kowloon and on Hong Kong Island; Improving the coverage of the railway network by placing 70% of the population and 80% of the workforce within one km of a railway station, and also by crossing the Harbour to interchange with the the Tsuen Wan Lin, Island Lin and SIL(E) at ADM; Stimulating the redevelopment of Hung Hom and Waterfront areas; and Relieving reliance on road-based transport, resulting in significant reductions in roadside air pollutants, respirable suspended particulates and carbon dioxide, and providing a more environmentally-friendly public transport option in terms of energy conservation. 2.10 The Project provides Hong Kong with the fourth Rail Harbour Crossing which essentially relieves the existing congestion on the Tsuen Wan Line through redistributing railway passengers, and connects the new development areas in Kai Tak with Hong Kong Island. It is predicted that if the SCL is not built on time, the Tsuen Wan Line morning peak line flow in 2021 will exceed its desirable capacity, leading to intensified congestion on existing rail lines and causing huge inconvenience to the passengers. 2.11 More importantly, the expansion in railway network can gradually conduce a significant modal shift in passengers’ travel behaviours from road-based transport to railway system, and thereby soothing the burgeoning reliance on cross harbour road tunnels, especially the demand on the Hung Hom Cross Harbour Tunnel, as well as alleviating environmental nuisance from existing road networks. 2.12 From the environmental perspective, the rail will be powered electrically. Rail is widely recognized as a more sustainable form of transport than road transport in terms of carrying capacity and energy effectiveness, adverse environmental implications such as roadside air pollution associated with electrically-powered rail are far less in comparing to vehicle fleets. Having anticipated that the Project will increase public transport patronage and reduce the overall road traffic volumes through providing a more convenient and easily accessible transport option, the Project will bring improvements in air quality, noise pollution, on-road safety and the overall quality of the ambient environment. As the most of the rail line is underground, the visual quality, landscape character and land amenity can also be maintained whilst still providing convenient access to areas by the public. AECOM Asia Company Ltd 2-2 Nov 2011 Sec 2_Final Consultancy Agreement No. NEX/2213 EIA Study for Shatin to Central Link - Hung Hom to Admiralty Section MTR Corporation Limited Environmental Impact Assessment Report (Final) Scenario Without the Project 2.13 If the Project is not to be put forth, passengers will be forced to rely on road-based transport between areas along the SCL corridor, and there would be a significant increase in road traffic volumes and hence air and noise pollution as a result of the increased vehicles travelling similar distances. It is expected that the increased congestion would also be negatively impact Hong Kong’s competitive advantage. 2.14 In addition to the pivotal role of the Project in traffic congestion and environmental impacts relief, the Project will also improve accessibility to the harbour by providing a direct link between Hung Hom and Hong Kong Island. With this link, there will be increased opportunities for the public to access this area and enjoy the harbour and the promenade area of Tsim Sha Tsui East, and thus produce more possibilities for the planning and development of leisure and tourism for this area. 2.15 The construction and operation of the SCL will also create numerous new employment opportunities within Hong Kong SAR. Construction of new stations and redevelopment of current stations will also create commercial opportunities within the stations and enhanced economic development of the areas they serve. Considerations for Alternatives/Options 2.16 The following sections present the consideration of the alternatives for the following key elements of the Project: (a) Alignment; (b) Stations/platforms; (c) Ventilation buildings/ventilation shifts; (d) Entrances/exits; and (e) Train system. Alignment Criteria for Options Development 2.17 To assess the suitability of the alternative alignment options, a range of environmental, engineering, safety and general community disruption considerations were developed to help the decision making process. These considerations are presented in Table 2.1 below. Table 2.1 Considerations in Determining Preferred Alignment and Construction Method Considerations Description Engineering Factors Minimisation of construction period. Shorter construction period is preferable in Implementation Programme order to minimise the disturbance to the community. The preferred railway alignment connecting the HUH and the new EXH should be a direct connection with minimal distance to reduce construction costs, maintain operational efficiency and minimise passenger travelling time between stations. Specific consideration in relation to HUH and EXH included: Interface with Existing minimum impact on the operation

  • T and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong
    Measurement and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong By: Michael Audi, Kathryn Byorkman, Alison Couture, Suzanne Najem ZRH006 Measurement and Analysis of Walkability in Hong Kong An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the faculty of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for Degree of Bachelor of Science In cooperation with Designing Kong Hong, Ltd. and The Harbour Business Forum On March 4, 2010 Submitted by: Submitted to: Michael Audi Paul Zimmerman Kathryn Byorkman Margaret Brooke Alison Couture Dr. Sujata Govada Suzanne Najem Roger Nissim Professor Robert Kinicki Professor Zhikun Hou ii | P a g e Abstract Though Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour is world-renowned, the harbor front districts are far from walkable. The WPI team surveyed 16 waterfront districts, four in-depth, assessing their walkability using a tool created by the research team and conducted preference surveys to understand the perceptions of Hong Kong pedestrians. Because pedestrians value the shortest, safest, least-crowded, and easiest to navigate routes, this study found that confusing routes, unsafe or indirect connections, and a lack of amenities detract from the walkability in Hong Kong. This report provides new data concerning the walkability in harbor front districts and a tool to measure it, along with recommendations for potential improvements. iii | P a g e Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the many people that helped us over the course of this project. First, we would like to thank our sponsors Paul Zimmerman, Dr. Sujata Govada, Margaret Brooke, and Roger Nissim for their help and dedication throughout our project and for providing all of the resources and contacts that we required.

  • Nvironmental Management and Performance
    ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE LAND AND WATERBORNE TRANSPORT Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. A safe, efficient, reliable and environment friendly transport system is important to the sustainable development of the city. On environmental management, we will continue to press ahead with the following initiatives - priority for efficient and environment friendly transport modes; reduction in traffic congestion and better inter-modal co-ordination; greater emphasis on pedestrian facilities; and application of Information Technology (IT) to transport management. Priority for Efficient and Environment Friendly Transport Modes Railways are environment friendly, safe and efficient mass carriers in Hong Kong, carrying about 40% of our public transport passengers. At present, the total length of our railways under operation is about 219 km. We are taking forward the following five railway projects in full swing - West Island Line; South Island Line (East); Kwun Tong Line Extension; Shatin to Central Link; and Hong Kong section of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link. 7 Upon completion of these railway passenger lines by 2020, the total length of railways in operation in Hong Kong will be increased to about 280 km. We launched the consultancy study on the Review and Update of the Railway Development Strategy 2000 in March 2011 to further our policy for better use of railways as the backbone of the passenger transport system. Development of rail transport will significantly speed up passenger flow, alleviate road traffic congestion and reduce vehicle-induced air pollution. The study is expected to be completed in 2013. The Government will continue with its efforts to enhance the co-ordination between railway and other public transport modes to avoid unnecessary duplication of public transport resources and alleviate traffic congestion.

  • When Is the Best Time to Go to Hong Kong?
    Page 1 of 98 Chris’ Copyrights @ 2011 When Is The Best Time To Go To Hong Kong? Winter Season (December - March) is the most relaxing and comfortable time to go to Hong Kong but besides the weather, there's little else to do since the "Sale Season" occurs during Summer. There are some sales during Christmas & Chinese New Year but 90% of the clothes are for winter. Hong Kong can get very foggy during winter, as such, visit to the Peak is a hit-or-miss affair. A foggy bird's eye view of HK isn't really nice. Summer Season (May - October) is similar to Manila's weather, very hot but moving around in Hong Kong can get extra uncomfortable because of the high humidity which gives the "sticky" feeling. Hong Kong's rainy season also falls on their summer, July & August has the highest rainfall count and the typhoons also arrive in these months. The Sale / Shopping Festival is from the start of July to the start of September. If the sky is clear, the view from the Peak is great. Avoid going to Hong Kong when there are large-scale exhibitions or ongoing tournaments like the Hong Kong Sevens Rugby Tournament because hotel prices will be significantly higher. CUSTOMS & DUTY FREE ALLOWANCES & RESTRICTIONS • Currency - No restrictions • Tobacco - 19 cigarettes or 1 cigar or 25 grams of other manufactured tobacco • Liquor - 1 bottle of wine or spirits • Perfume - 60ml of perfume & 250 ml of eau de toilette • Cameras - No restrictions • Film - Reasonable for personal use • Gifts - Reasonable amount • Agricultural Items - Refer to consulate Note: • If arriving from Macau, duty-free imports for Macau residents are limited to half the above cigarette, cigar & tobacco allowance • Aircraft crew & passengers in direct transit via Hong Kong are limited to 20 cigarettes or 57 grams of pipe tobacco.
