Support A continuous waterfront for Pok Fu Lam 支持於薄扶林打造連貫的海濱

30/6/2021

 
[Update on 30/6/2021]

The Town Planning Board (TPB) reviewed our three applications seeking to commit land owners and government to a continuous high quality waterfront in Pokfulam. Over 1000 supporting signatures and submissions were received. There were 7 objections, including one from Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited.

While not supporting the applications for technical reasons, TPB members supported the promotion of an attractive and vibrant waterfront in Pok Fu Lam. They considered that relevant government departments should take the lead in enhancing waterfront connectivity. They agreed to request the Development Bureau to explore linking up the coastal area so as to enhance pedestrian connectivity. TPB members also agreed to opening the landing steps to the public and its integration (of the pier area) with the future design of the Park. This will be relayed to Cyberport.  

​城市規劃委員會(城規會)最近開會討論我們三份有關「促使政府及土地業權人能致力於薄扶林打造一條高質素及連貫的海濱長廊」的規劃申請。城規會秘書處收到過千份支持的意見書,反對的則有七份,其中
一份來自香港數碼港管理有限公司。

雖然城規會基於技術理由沒有接納我們的規劃申請,但是有城規會委員支持推廣薄扶林海濱長廊。他們認為相關政府部門應牽頭改善海濱長廊的連貫性,並同意要求發展局研究如何連接區內多處的海濱地段。另外,他們認同海濱公園的登岸梯級應開放給予公眾使用,並將碼頭範圍納入公園的未來設計中。我們會將這些意見轉交數碼港。

我們向城市規劃委員會遞交了三份規劃申請,希望政府及土地業權人能致力打造一條高質素及連貫的海濱長廊。歡迎透過範本信支持這三個規劃申請,截止日期為2021年4月16日。
Support a continuous waterfront 支持打造連貫的海濱

The first section - Cyberport Waterfront Park (Y/H10/10)- will soon be handed permanently to the Hong Kong Cyberport Management Company Limited. Sources said government will set aside HK$400million for enhancement of the park. The company seeks to use the park to showcase innovation and technology. To make sure the community has a voice in the future development of the park, we propose that Cyberport is required to publicise a master layout plan and landscape design for community input and approval by the Town Planning Board.

第一段為
數碼港海濱公園(Y/H10/10)。政府會將用地以永久型式撥給香港數碼港管理有限公司。早前有消息人士透露,政府會預留四億以用作翻新及改善海濱公園,數碼港亦希望為公園引入科技及智慧元素。如改劃獲批,海濱公園未來的發展都必須向城市規劃委員會遞交總綱發展藍圖及園景設計計劃,並讓居民及公眾表達意見,確保新的發展符合公眾利益及期望。

The next section - Telegraph Bay (Y/H10/11) - is a steep and tall rocky waterfront. For a promenade to get around the rock wall requires a 250m long elevated path over the water similar to the Mills & Chung Path at Deep Water Bay. With the application we propose to mark the future promenade on the outline zoning plan.

第二段為
鋼綫灣海旁(Y/H10/11),主要是陡峭的岩石斜坡。海濱長廊的設計可參照深水灣的苗鍾徑,於岸邊建設約250米長的高架行人走廊。我們希望透過今次的規劃申請,於分區計劃大綱圖中為海濱長廊指定土地用途。

Picture
The final section - the waterfront promenade at Sandy Bay (Y/H10/12)– is an existing path with trees in front of the sports park and the sewage treatment plant, and a rocky beach. With the application we propose to recognise the existing path at Sandy Bay as a public promenade, and to extend it behind the rocky beach at Sandy Bay where it connects via stairs to Victoria Road.

最後一段為
沙灣海旁(Y/H10/12),現址為香港大學體育中心及污水處理廠對出的小徑及石灘。我們希望透過今次的規劃申請正式確認現有的小徑及海濱,並延伸沙灣石灘後方的一段,連接至通往域多利道的樓梯。

Legislative Council approved funding for Cyberport expansion
The Legislative Council approved funding for expansion of Cyberport last Friday. The decision will result in the loss of 20% of the park area for a building, access road and elevated walkways. It also opens the way for permanent ownership of the park by Cyberport. Besides conference facilities and offices, the new building will offer alfresco dining, public toilets and water fountains. In response to feed-back from residents the roof top will be lowered by 3 meters. Construction will start Q4 of 2021 for completion in 2025. 

Funding has been set aside for new grass and repaving the promenade in the park. Compensation for the loss of the park area is still absent. Cyberport and the Innovation and Technology Bureau have yet to confirm waterfront enhancements the community has been asking for.

Conceptual drawings of the expansion presented to the Legislative Council offer a grasp of the expected outcome. Click 
here for the paper. 
Click here for our first analysis
Next steps
Cyberport has committed itself to consulting the community and district council. The master layout plan for the building will have to be approved by the Town Planning Board. We are asking the Lands Department how they will determine the requirements to incorporate in the leases for the park and the building.

Tell us what you want in the park
Our cartoon above reflects the questions we received. When will the waterfront between Sandy Bay and Cyberport be connected? Will there be a roof for shade over the concrete pier? What play and skating facilities will there be for kids and where?

Cyberport's drawings provoke new questions too. Is the road access through the park for emergency use only? Will the elevated walkway create obstacle in the park? Why have the trees and grass along the waterfront been replaced with concrete?

Please use the form above or send us an email: info@paulzimmerman.hk . We will collate all comments and questions for presentation to Cyberport and relevant Government departments.

立法會通過「數碼港擴建計劃」的撥款申請
立法會於上星期五通過撥款擴建數碼港。新大樓及其通道將佔據公園兩成的面積,而當局會以永久形式向數碼港撥出海濱公園用地。除寫字樓及會議空間外,新大樓會提供室外餐飲設施、洗手間及飲水機。當局指因應居民的意見,新大樓的高度將會降低三米。工程將於2021年第四季展開,預計最快2025年落成。

是次撥款計劃包括重鋪公園草皮及海濱長廊。然而,創新及科技局及數碼港均未有具體交代如何補償減少的公園面積,以及會否回應居民就改善海濱和公園設施的訴求。

大家可從數碼港向立法會提交的概念圖,預覽公園的未來設計。請按此連結瀏覽相關資料
我們的初步分析
下一步
數碼港表示,他們會繼續就項目聆聽居民及區議會的意見。新大樓的總綱發展藍圖需等待城市規劃委員會審批,我們正向地政總署查詢署方會如何決定新大樓及公園的地契條款。

你想公園有啲乜?
就改善海濱設施,我們的繪圖顯示了居民中的熱門建議,當中包括將海濱長廊連接至大口環、為現有碼頭提供上蓋、在公園增設滑板場及兒童玩樂設施等。

此外,數碼港提交的概念圖亦為大家帶來不少疑惑:公園旁邊的通道是否只供緊急車輛使用?行人天橋設計會否造成障礙及影響景觀?為何使用混凝土取代現有海濱的草地及樹木?

請透過我們的網上表格或電郵:info@paulzimmerman.hk 發表你的意見。我們會將收到的意見及問題整合,然後向數碼港及相關部門反映。

New Stairs to Pik Shan Path 通往碧珊徑的新樓梯

29/8/2019

 
At Pok Fu Lam Road just north of the Queen Mary Hospital new stairs have been built to re-connect with the heritage Pik Shan Path which runs over the old water conduit.  You can walk from here to the University of Hong Kong, Hatton Road, and The Peak as well as High West, a climb to 490m. 

​位於薄扶林道瑪麗醫院以北的樓梯重置工程已經完成。你可由樓梯通往引水道上面的碧珊徑,再經香港大學克頓道步行至山頂以及西高山 (海拔490米),沿途景色怡人,滿布多個法定古蹟及歷史建築。

Route: Start from Kong Sin Wan Road (The ISF Academy) 路線:由鋼綫灣道近弘立書院出發

Kong Sin Wan Trail Re-opened 鋼綫灣徑重開

28/8/2019

 
Picture
The old trail through the former Kong Sin Wan village is repaired and open! It runs from Victoria Road, some 200m from the Sassoon Road Roundabout and ends at Kong Sin Wan road near The ISF Academy. Long-time residents approached me on the possibility of repairing this short-cut to Cyberport when I started service as District Councillor for Pokfulam in 2010. Proposals submitted for District Minor Works in March 2011 were endorsed in May 2013 and after many bureaucratic hurdles works started in March 2019. 

​通往前鋼綫灣村的小徑已修復完畢並重新開放。小徑於域多利道的入口設於距離沙宣道回旋處200米位置,近明愛胡振中中學下方;另一端的入口則位於鋼綫灣道的盡頭(近弘立書院中學部)。2010年當選薄扶林區議員後,有於區內居住多年的居民向我們反映,希望政府能修復並重開鋼綫灣徑。我們於2011年3月遞交地區小型工程建議書,並於2013年5月獲得批准。經多次與不同政府部門就樹木、地界及責任等問題磋商後,修復工程終於2019年3月展開。

​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). 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。
