​Fatal Accident at Waterfall Bay 瀑布灣奪命意外

22/6/2017

 

A 38-year-old father accidentally slipped down the cliff and died last weekend (news link - Chinese only). Please note that the crossing over the waterfall is unsafe during rainy season as it is prone to flashfloods. Please note my column on this in AM730. You can support my call for a proper footbridge for a safe pedestrian crossing – click here.

上星期六一名年輕爸爸於瀑布頂懷疑失足墮崖不幸喪失生命(新聞連結)。請切勿於下雨其間橫過瀑布,我於今日的AM730專欄亦有評論這件事。你可以參與我發起的網上聯署要求政府於瀑布灣興建行人橋。

We thank our Pokfulam’s ‘Smoky Vessel Spotters’ who sent us a 3-minute video of a container vessel emitting dark smoke continuously on 1 March 2017 at East Lamma Channel. This evidence is now used by the Marine Department to prosecute the vessel owner/operator. With your videos we can stop smoky vessels for everyone’s benefit!!

我們感謝一名薄扶林居民向我們提供一段船隻排放黑煙的影片。從片段可見,該船隻於2017年3月1日在東博寮海峽持續排放黑煙超過三分鐘。海事處掌握足夠證據後正在準備檢控船公司。

Report Smoky Vessel  舉報排放黑煙船隻 

15/6/2016

 
Picture
Picture
The current legislation says it is an offence for any vessel to emit dark smoke which is as dark as, or darker than, Shade 2 on the Ringelmann Chart for 3 minutes or more continuously at any one time.

For ringelmann chart, you may refer to: 
www.mardep.gov.hk/en/publication/materials/pdf/darksmoke.pdf​

To be a smoky vessel spotter, we suggest the following:
  1. If you see a vessel emitting pretty dark smoke (darker than shade 2) continuously, grab your phone/video camera and record a video of it for more than 3 minutes
  2. If the dark smoke is non-stop in the video for over 3 minutes, call Marine Department 2385 2791 (24 hours hotline) immediately to report the location, direction and type of vessel. They should send a patrol boat to identify it. You may wish to tell them you have a 3 minute plus video.
  3. Please let us know too, info@paulzimmerman.hk or 9096-3070. We can help chasing the Marine Department for follow up actions.
Note:
  • Marine Department’s email address is mi1ohps1@mardep.gov.hk , you may send them the link (dropbox, youtube, etc) of the video. But they prefer you make the report by phonecall first as they can send a patrol right away.
  • Should Marine Department proceed with the investigation, you may be invited to provide a statement, this could be done in their Aberdeen Office. 
跟據法例,如在香港水域內任何本地船隻如排放的黑煙與力高文圖表上的2號陰暗色同等深色或 較之更深色,任何一次持續3 分鐘或以上,即屬犯罪。
 
力高文圖表可參考:
www.mardep.gov.hk/en/publication/materials/pdf/darksmoke.pdf​

舉報排放黑煙船隻
  1. ​如發現船隻持續地排放大量黑煙(2號陰暗色同等深色或較之更深色的煙霧),請用拍攝一段多於3分鐘的影片。
  2. 如船隻於影片中持續排放黑煙超過3分鐘,應立即致電海事處二十四小時熱線2385 2791舉報,清楚提供事發地點,船隻航行的方向及黑煙的濃度(微型力高文圖表中2號陰暗色同等深色或較之更深色的煙霧),並告知你有一段三分鐘的影片。
  3. 海事處希望市民將影片傳送到海事處電郵(mi1ohps1@mardep.gov.hk),可將影片上載至 dropbox 或youtube,並將其鏈結附在電郵内。
注意
  • 海事處會就有關事件作岀調查,而舉報之市民會被邀請到香港仔海事分處作協助調查。
  • 歡迎將資料同時發給我們(info@paulzimmerman.hk or 9096-3070),我們會就事件向海事處跟進。

Thank you for participating in our survey on the use of the vacant site at Sandy Bay.
 
The 1,032 responses showing a 98% support for recreational uses of the site helped curtail the CEDD on 21 March 2016 in the District Council.
 
The District Council’s decision was to support the long-term use of the site by HKU for recreational uses.
 
However, as HKU has yet to formalize its applications CEDD will be granted the use of the site for a maximum of 2 years (instead of the 4 applied for).
 
The CEDD will use the site to support the installation of 26 lifts (universal access) at various footbridges. It was argued that their land application was received well before HKU submitted an expression of interest. It was noted that associated traffic will be limited. CEDD was urged to take every possible mitigation measure, and avoid community complaints over the use.
 
My office will remind HKU that it is now important that they firm up their land allocation application, including obtaining policy support from the Education Bureau.
 
The District Council has asked for a review of the use of the site in 21 months.

感謝大家早前參與我們的網上意見調查。

我們共收到1,032份回覆,當中調查結果顯示超過98%受訪者支持香港大學申請使用該空地作為戶外歷奇教育及水上活動中心。

南區區議會於2016年3月21日討論此議題時備悉社區的意見。議會支持港大將該空地用作康樂用途的長遠建議。由於港大尚未提供具體計劃內容,土木工程拓展署將會獲批使用該處作為26 項「人人暢道通行」設施工程的臨時工地,為期兩年(原先署方申請使用四年)。

署方指出他們於港大提出意向前已向地政署申請用地,而他們預計工地不會為社區帶來重大的交通影響。區議會已亦促請署方研究及採取所有措施避免工地的運作影響社區及居住環境。

我們已提醒港大盡快確定體育中心的計劃並爭取教育局的支持。

南區區議會將於21個月後再次檢討空地的用途。

Thank you for your input. We have made the following submission to the Town Planning Board on 8 April 2015, together with the survey results and individual comments.
感謝各位居民提供意見。我們已去信城規會,當中包括調查結果及你們的意見。

The Chicago University will build an education facility at the Jubilee Battery heritage site along Victoria Road. They plan to redevelop the mess building and quarters which were more recently used as the Victoria Road Detention Centre. The Town Planning Board is reviewing the planning application (A/H1/98): http://www.info.gov.hk/tpb/en/plan_application/A_H1_98.html
 
You may have views on the project. Let us know via our online poll. One question is whether the long white wall with barbed wire along Victoria Road should be retained as a heritage feature, or whether it should be removed to give people sight of the buildings and the sea beyond? 
 
We will submit the findings of our online poll to the Town Planning Board before the deadline (April 8).

芝加哥大學布斯商學院將於域多利道將於銀禧炮台原址興建分校。他們將會改建前域多利道扣押中心成為香港校舍。城規會現正處理該項目的規劃申請(編號A/H1/98):http://www.info.gov.hk/tpb/tc/plan_application/A_H1_98.html

應該基於保育原因而保留圍牆?或是拆除圍牆/以玻璃代替圍牆,以便街外人士能清楚見到建築物及海景?我們現正進行網上意見調查,歡迎參與並發表意見。

我們會於截止日期4月8日前將調查結果遞交至城規會。

Cyberport Parking Arrangements 數碼港泊車安排

5/2/2015

 
Picture
After escalating concerns over parking at the cinema and supermarket to the Board of Cyberport, we have been informed as follows:
  1. The lay-bys at the supermarket and cinema are private Emergency Vehicle Access roads which need to be kept clear and parking meters are not feasible.
  2. Cyberport understands residents’ desire to “nip in”. However, the previous 15 minutes parking led to disagreements between security staff and drivers.
  3. To enhance the situation, Cyberport has decided as follows:
    a) Free parking without spending will be 30 minutes (previously 20 minutes) effective 16 February 2015.
    b) Free parking of 1 and 2 hours with a spending of HK$100 and HK$200 will remain unchanged.
    c) (Un)loading and drop-off/pick up only at the two laybys. Drivers can wait only if no one needs to pass through.
    d) New cones, planters and outdoor seating will be installed to improve the outlook of the area.
    e) Goods handling by retailers will be restricted and alternatives are being studied. 

In the meantime, Transport Department has circulated plans to extend the no-stopping zones to cover the bus stops to improve road safety. 
------------------------------

早前我們去信數碼港董事局反映居民對數碼港商場泊車的問題,以下是他們的回應及將會採取的措施:
  1. 商場及戲院旁邊的避車處為私人範圍內的緊急通道。為了保持通道暢通,他們未能提供泊車咪錶位。
  2. 數碼港明白居民希望能短暫停泊於避車處以便進入店舖購買東西,但早前的15分鐘短暫停泊安排多次導致保安人員和司機出現爭拗。
  3. 為了改善情況,數碼港決定採取以下措施:
    a) 停車場免費泊車(不需消費單據)的時間將由原有的20分鐘增加至30分鐘,生效日期為2015年2月16日。
    b) 現有的1小時及2小時免費泊車(消費滿$100及$200)將維持不變。
    c) 商場及戲院旁邊的避車處只供上落客及貨物。車輛可於後面沒有車輛離開及司機在座的情況下短暫停留。
    d) 為了美化環境,數碼港會安裝新的雪糕筒、花槽及戶外檯凳。
    e) 當局正在研究其他方案,避免商店使用避車處上落貨。

另外,運輸署已就延長雙黃線覆蓋巴士站的計劃諮詢社區。
