Confirmation of Minutes of the 3rd Meeting (2019) held on 13 June 2019 2. Mr PAU Ming-hong moved a motion to confirm the minutes. The motion was seconded by Mr POON Chi-shing and Miss LO Yuen-ting. Members endorsed the minutes unanimously. Introduction of /Consultation Paper Widening of Tsuen Wan Road, extension of the existing vehicular bridge at Texaco Road and the associated junctions improvement works – Investigation (Proposed by the Highways Department) (TTC Paper No. 35/D/2019) 3. Mr LEUNG Allen, Engineer 2/Tsuen Wan Road, Highways Department (HyD) briefly introduced the Paper. 4. Mr WONG Yun-tat opined that there was the need to connect the incomplete flyover to the ground level so that vehicles would not have to pass through the roundabout to travel to Tsing Yi. As Kwai Tsing District was constantly developing, high vehicle flow had made the traffic at the roundabout busy, connecting the incomplete flyover would help divert traffic to Tsing Yi. 5. Miss LO Yuen-ting put forth opinions as follows: (i) She hoped that the Department would provide the presentation slides to Members after the meeting. (ii) The Department should pay attention to traffic congestion during the construction period as traffic accidents often occurred at the roundabout. She hoped that the Department could shorten the construction time and deploy staff to direct traffic at the site. (iii) The facilities around the incomplete flyover were damaged due to the 3 Responsible Department earlier typhoon attack which she hoped the Department would pay attention to. 6. Mr LAW King-shing opined that he welcomed the Department to include the incomplete flyover connection in the project. However, the traffic congestion problem caused by the roundabout had been discussed for a long time. He was dissatisfied that the Department was only conducting the study at the moment and opined that the study took too long to complete. 7. Mr LEUNG Wai-man put forth opinions and enquiries as follows: (i) Members had discussed the traffic problems caused by the roundabout for many years. He opined that the project was advisable, but it would take more time for all works to be carried out together. (ii) Tsing Yi residents had been suggesting the widening of the junction of Tsuen Wan Road turning left to Tsing Tsuen Bridge (Tsing Yi North Bridge) for many years. Therefore, he hoped that priority would be given to the widening work and a third lane travelling directly to Tsing Yi without passing the roundabout should be added. (iii) He asked whether wide-angle lens could be installed at the roundabout to protect the safety of drivers. 8. Mr POON Chi-shing put forth opinions and enquiries as follows: (i) The concerned traffic problems had been discussed for many years. He was dissatisfied that the Department was only starting the works at the moment and opined that the progress was too slow. He asked whether the project items could be carried out separately, and whether the project schedule could be advanced. (ii) The addition of a third lane turning left to Tsing Yi had not much controversy and the traffic to Tsing Yi North Bridge was now congested. Therefore, the relevant works should be carried out first. (iii) He hoped that the Department would provide detailed documents as early as possible before the meeting. 4 Responsible Department 9. Mr WONG Yiu-chung put forth opinions as follows: (i) The documents provided by the Department were too general, making it difficult for Members to understand the works. The Department should provide more details. (ii) The issue of not connecting the incomplete flyover had persisted for many years, while the traffic congestion at Tsuen Wan Road turning left to Tsing Tsuen Road was serious. He did not wish that the Department would carry out the improvement works only after completing the study. (iii) After the work completion, many vehicles would travel by Texaco Road Flyover. He hoped that the Department would consider constructing noise barriers. 10. Mr CHAN Siu-man, Simon opined that the widening of Tsuen Wan Road turning left to Tsing Yi was relatively less difficult. He hoped that the Department would start the works as soon as possible and solve the problem of incomplete flyover that had been persisting for many years. 11. Mr HON Chun-yin put forth opinions as follows: (i) The issue of not connecting the incomplete flyover had been persisting for many years. He welcomed the inclusion of connecting the incomplete flyover into the project. (ii) Traffic congestion at Tsuen Wan Road bounding for Tsing Yi North Bridge had been persisting for many years, but the paper failed to reflect the situation. The Department should propose a practical solution. (iii) The current traffic congestion at Tsing Yi North Bridge bounding for Texaco Road Roundabout had caused the bus lost trip problem. He hoped the relevant Departments could understand the current situation and speed up the work progress. 12. Mr TAM Ka-chun, Warren asked whether the works could be carried out only after 2022, or whether part of the works could be carried out before the completion of the study. 5 Responsible Department 13. Mr HUI Kei-cheung put forth opinions as follows: (i) Vehicles travelling from Tsuen Wan Road to Tsing Yi North Bridge needed to pass the roundabout, making the traffic very crowded and was prone to traffic accidents. He asked whether the Department could add a vehicular bridge to connect Tsing Yi North Bridge so that vehicles would not have to travel through the roundabout.

    CB(1)2110/10-11(10) 11 May, 2011 Clerk to Bills Committee on Motor Vehicles (First Registration Tax) (Amendment) Bill 2011 Legislative Council Secretariat 3rd floor Citibank Tower 3 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong Dear Sir/Madam, Re: Bills Committee on Motor Vehicles (First Registration Tax) (Amendment) Bill 2011 We are writing in support of the government’s proposal to increase the first registration tax (FRT) for private cars to cope with the surge in the number of private vehicles. Overarching Principles for Transport Policies in Hong Kong Hong Kong benefits immensely from an excellent public transport system, which is renowned for its quality and ability to accommodate the mobility need for the city. Not only does public transport provide nearly ubiquitous coverage for the territory, it also carries over 90% of Hong Kong’s 11 million daily trips. Due to the success of this public transport system, private car ownership and usage remain non-essential for the majority, which leads to manifold benefits – reducing the need for extensive highway infrastructure expansion, curbing growth in vehicular emissions, and contributing to the long-term sustainability of Hong Kong. Indeed, sustaining the quality of our public transport system is a key policy objective for Hong Kong, as was recognized in the first White Paper on internal transport policy in 1979, reiterated in the second White Paper on Transport Policy in 1990, and again at the conclusion of the third Comprehensive Transport Studies “Hong Kong Moving Ahead” in 1999. Pillars contributing to the success of our public transport system include managing road usage such as controlling the growth in number of vehicles and giving priority to public transport, as set out in the 1990 White Paper.
