September
- "Save the Harbour, implement road pricing first"
Attended
and gave our positive views at the "Expert Panel Forum
on Sustainable Transport Planning and Central - Wan Chai
Bypass" hosted by the Harbourfront Enhancement Committee.
Promoted "Save the Harbour, implement road pricing
first"
September
2004 - August 2005 - "Any coastal road tunnel can be
built underwater without reclamation"
Made
a presentation to the Town Planning Board that helped establish
that any coastal road tunnel can be built underwater, protecting
the natural shoreline. Reclamation is not necessary. Though
our recommendation to build the tunnel underwater at CRIII
was not accepted, it is clear now that in the future this
option must be presented to the public first, in order to
meet the Harbour Protection Ordinance.
