Impact of the proposed reclamation and development on the local community 5. Mr Kenneth LAU declared that he was the Indigenous Inhabitant Representative of Lung Kwu Tan Village and owned land there. Mr LAU relayed the concerns of the villagers of Lung Kwu Tan Village over the impact of the proposed Lung Kwu Tan reclamation and developments on the shoreline, the environment and air quality in the area. The villagers also worried that the proposed reclamation and the intended future use of the reclaimed land as industrial sites would aggravate the long existed traffic congestion along Lung Kwu Tan Road, a single-lane dual carriageway frequented by heavy trucks shuttling to the power stations, landfills and other industrial facilities at Lung Kwu Tan and its adjoining areas. Mr LAU was disappointed that the Administration had not yet taken forward the plan to build a tunnel to Hong Po Road to ease the traffic congestion along Lung Kwu Tan Road, and expressed that he and the villagers would not support the proposed developments at Lung Kwu Tan in the absence of appropriate measures Action - 7 - to address the pollution, traffic congestion and other problems including seawater infusion, blocked drains, etc. 6. SDEV advised that the Administration had well noted the villagers' concerns, and would foster the community environment and the living quality of the local residents by means of urban design in order to minimize the impact brought about by the future land use, including brownfield operations. The Administration would also optimize the design of the reclamation area in the P&E Study to preserve the existing natural shoreline as far as possible. It was expected that a green-channel of about 100 metres ("m") in width would be provided so that part of the existing shoreline would be preserved. Further, to cope with the proposed reclamation development and to enhance the connectivity of Lung Kwu Tan and River Trade Terminal ("RTT") and its coastal areas ("the Tuen Mun West area"), the Administration proposed upgrading Lung Mun Road and constructing a new road within the reclaimed land as an alternative to Lung Kwu Tan Road. After construction of the new road, the distance between the road traffic and Lung Kwu Tan Village could be increased to about 400 m to 500 m. Besides, the Administration would upgrade Nim Wan Road and Deep Bay Road to improve the connectivity between Lung Kwu Tan Village and Lau Fau Shan. 7. Mr Kenneth LAU enquired about the details of the re-planning of the Tuen Mun West area for residential developments of about 20 000 units, and how the strategic transport networks being planned would enhance the connectivity of Tuen Mun with the urban areas and the future developments under the Lantau Tomorrow Vision.
