[Updated on 9 Sep 2020]
To date over 640 residents signed the online petition. In response, the Queen Mary Hospital has proposed to swap the entrance and exit (click here for the presentation). Although this revision has merits, concerns remain over sightlines, footpath width, and queue length. Other concerns have emerged over passenger flows and (mini) bus stops. A resident, a senior engineer with deep experience in transport design, is volunteering time to review the plans. The New Block plans will have significant impact on a critical junction for Pokfulam. Residents with relevant expertise who wish to volunteer input on the revised plans for the QMH New Block entrance are invited to contact us at [email protected] .
截至今日，超過640名居民簽了網上聯署。瑪麗醫院作出了回應，建議將出入口位置互調（按連結瀏覽方案）。這個方案有可取之處，但是我們仍在等候院方交待如何處理視線範圍、行人路闊度、車輛排隊長度、小巴及巴士乘客的行走路線等問題。同時，區內一名資深道路工程師向我們提供了寶貴及專業的意見。新大樓的出入口會影響薄扶林居民主要出入道路的交通流，如閣下有專業意見可以提供，歡迎電郵我們：[email protected]。

Recently discovered plans show that vehicles entering and leaving Queen Mary Hospital’s New Block will impact Pok Fu Lam Road immediately at the slip road to Sassoon Road. Today as the 30 storey New Block is under construction, 4 traffic wardens make sure that traffic is managed safely. Unfortunately, we can’t expect the same service once the New Block starts operations (2024).
Since 2015 we have urged Queen Mary Hospital to use the former bus stop as a diverge to enter the New Block. The drawings we recently discovered show our warnings have been ignored. To enter, vehicles will have to come to a complete dead stop on Pok Fu Lam Road - right where buses, mini buses and private cars exit Pok Fu Lam Road to go to the bus stop, Sassoon Road, Bisney Road and the existing entrance to the hospital. During peak hours, one vehicle exits Pok Fu Lam Road here every 3 seconds. We have requested for the latest traffic impact assessment. We understand that at least 200 ambulances, trucks, and staff cars will use the new entrance every day.

最新資料顯示瑪麗醫院新大樓的車輛出入口將會直接影響薄扶林道南行線轉入沙宣道的道路安全及車流量。新大樓樓高30層，現時工地內有多名工人協助指揮交通以便工程車輛出入，相信大樓於2024年落成後便會取消這個安排。
自2015年起，我們多次促請院方使用旁邊已棄用的巴士站作新大樓入口的分支路。最近我們從圖則得知院方不但未有理會我們的建議，所有從薄扶林道南行線進入新大樓的車輛需減至非常低速轉90度左彎進入新大樓，而這個彎位正是巴士、小巴及私家車等現時需要靠左離開薄扶林道前往巴士站、沙宣道、碧荔道及醫院小路的位置。繁忙時間平均每3秒鐘就有1架車輛於這位置靠左離開薄扶林道，可見屆時交通流及道路安全將會受到影響。我們已要求院方提供交通影響評估的報告。按理解，每日大概會有200架次的車輛使用這個新出入口，當中包括救護車、貨車及職員車輛。
