Mr KWOK Long-fung asked if the Secretariat had received the application for leave from Ms LAM Tsz-king. 3. The Secretary responded that the Secretariat had not received any application for leave from Ms LAM Tsz-king so far. (Post-meeting note: The Secretary checked back the record while the Committee was discussing agenda items 2 and 3, and noted that Ms LAM Tsz-king had submitted an application for leave to the Secretariat by email before the meeting.

Item 1 - Confirmation of Minutes of the 2nd Meeting held on 9 March 2020 4. The Committee confirmed the minutes of the 2nd meeting. Item 2 - Special Scheme under the Universal Accessibility Programme (Paper No. 23/2020) Item 3 - Proposal: Request for Provision of Lifts at the Pedestrian Subway at Tai Ping Estate (Paper No. 24/2020) 5. The Chairman welcomed Mr Lawrence NG, Senior Engineer 4/ Universal Accessibility and Mr Tommy LEUNG, Engineer 10/Universal Accessibility of the Highways Department (“HyD”) for their attendance at the meeting. Since Item 2 and Item 3 were both related to the Universal Accessibility Programme (“UAP”), he proposed to discuss the issues together. 4 Action (Mr CHAN Yuk-ming and Mr Vincent CHAN joined the meeting at this juncture.) 6. Mr Tommy LEUNG briefed on Paper No. 23/2020 using slides, which were attached at the annex. 7. Mr Vincent CHAN said that the HyD had submitted a written response to Paper No. 24/2020 and contacted him. He would not brief on the proposal again. 8. Mr CHAN Yuk-ming said that the HyD would not consider retrofitting lift at public walkways where wheelchair ramps were installed (including footbridges connecting Cheung Wah Estate, San Wan Road and Fanling Station Road, and footbridges connecting Luen Wo Hui Market and Regentville Shopping Mall). However, for users of manual wheelchairs, it was very difficult for them to go up the ramp. This reflected that ramps could not help everyone in need. He hoped that the HyD could extend the scope of the UAP to public walkways already provided with wheelchair ramps, and determine whether to retrofit lifts by taking into account factors like population structure of the district, the elderly population, the pedestrian flow of the public walkways, and the gradient of existing wheelchair ramps. 9. Mr Warwick WAN asked whether the lift retrofitting project at Exit A2 of MTR Fanling Station was still at the exploratory stage and the commencement date for the works. 10. Mr CHEUNG Chun-wai said that the HyD proposed to retrofit a lift at the footbridge between Flora Plaza and Wah Ming Estate. Since the road surface at the location was rather narrow and the pedestrian flow was also high, he worried that upon completion of the lift, passengers boarding and alighting from buses would be affected and obstruction to pavement would occur. Besides, he worried that the lights of the lift would affect the residents of Flora Plaza and Wah Ming Estate at their time of sleep. If the aforesaid problems could be resolved, he welcomed the construction of a lift at the footbridge. Moreover, he said that it had taken the HyD two months to replace some simple parts of a lift, so he asked the HyD to provide information on the contact person in charge of cleaning and maintenance of the lift. 5 Action 11. Mr CHOW Kam-ho made the following comments: (a) Apart from the disabled, cyclists were also concerned about the gradient of the pedestrian ramp; (b) When wheelchair users used the footbridge from Fanling Centre to Dawning Views, they need to make a few turns along the ramp to reach the footbridge deck, which was very exhausting; (c) No lift was available at the pedestrian subway connecting Cheung Wah Estate on the side of Fan Leng Lau and Luen Wo Hui, people with disabilities could only use the ramps to go up and down. He asked the HyD whether lift would be provided at the subway; and (d) He learned that the lift construction works at footbridge ND03 was ready to start, and he requested the HyD to provide a tentative completion date of the project. 12. Mr YUEN Ho-lun said that he had used a wheelchair to climb up the pedestrian subway in Tai Ping Estate and found it very exhausting. He opined that the HyD should not consider ramps as facilities that could facilitate wheelchair users. The department should consider the predicament of the disabled and wheelchair users and retrofit lifts at pedestrian walkways with ramps. 13. Mr CHIANG Man-ching was concerned about the progress of the construction of the lifts for pedestrian subway No. NS50 and footbridge No. NF262 under the Third Phase of the UAP, and hoped that the relevant works would be implemented as soon as possible. He pointed out that many elderly people in Sheung Shui Wai were obliged to take footbridge No. NF262 when they went somewhere. 14. The Chairman said that it was necessary to retrofit lift at the footbridge on Luen On Street near Wo Mun Street as soon as possible. Besides, Members pointed out that the ramp could not actually facilitate the disabled and the elderly, nor could it serve the function of a lift. 15. Mr CHAN Wai-tat pointed out that residents of Wah Ming Estate (including wheelchair users) would not use footbridge WM01 to go to platforms 2 and 3 of Wah Ming Bus Terminal. He had once proposed to 6 Action add a zebra crossing and remove the kerb at the drop-off stop of Route 273 at the Wah Ming Bus Terminal, but the Transport Department (“TD”) rejected the proposal. He had reservations about the proposal to retrofit a lift at footbridge WM01, criticising that it was a waste of resources for the Government to retrofit a lift at the footbridge compared to adopting a lower-cost option instead. He also pointed out that in the past, the Government and the North District Council (“NDC”) had carried out many construction works (such as superstructures that could not provide shelter from the rain) that were criticised by residents as a waste of resources. 16. Mr Lawrence NG gave a consolidated reply to Members’ comments and questions as follows: (a) The Government was implementing the UAP by phases. The “Original Programme” was implemented in response to the recommendations of the Equal Opportunities Commission to add barrier-free access facilities to some public walkways, including the construction of lifts and standard ramps.

  • Information Paper
    Extract of the minutes of Meeting between Legislative Council Members and North District Council Members held on 22 February 2001 5 Action - 5 - Compensation and rehousing issues arising from land resumption in North District 32. Mr HAU Kam-lam said that the rehousing issues arising from the land resumption in North District mainly involved two aspects. Firstly, residents affected by the clearance were required to undergo the means and assets test. In this regard, he opined that the Administration should adopt more relaxed criteria in dealing with their resettlement in public housing since they were forced to move away from their places of residence as a result of the land resumption. They did not submit any applications for public housing on their own initiative. Secondly, he considered that local rehousing should be offered to the affected clearees and sufficient schools should be provided in the vicinity for their children. He further commented that the Government lacked comprehensive planning for the land resumption exercise in North District. Very often, it only resumed a portion of a piece of farmland, factory site or commercial premises or the middle part of a lot, thus seriously affecting the original usage of land. The landowners and the occupants concerned were not offered reasonable compensation. He therefore urged LegCo Members to assist the residents of North District in seeking reasonable rehousing and compensation. 33. On the issue of local rehousing, Mr LAU Kong-wah pointed out that, according to the information provided by the Housing Department (HD) to the LegCo Secretariat, eligible residents would be rehoused within the same or adjacent district as far as practicable, subject to availability of resources.
