 | Following our campaign to speed up the implementation of electronic payment at tunnels, we have been informed that these facilities will be installed at seven government tunnels starting 2017, with Aberdeen Tunnel and Cross Harbour Tunnel early 2018; and the Eastern Harbour Crossing early 2019. We have now written separately to the private operator of the Western Tunnel Crossing asking them to commit to the provision of e-payment services. 我們上年發起聯署行動要求政府加快步伐於收費隧道安裝電子收費系統（例如八達通）。最近當局宣佈7條政府收費隧道將於今年起分階段提供電子收費服務：香港仔隧道及紅隧-2018年初；東隧-2019初。我已向西隧的營運商要求他們效仿政府做法盡快提供電子收費服務。 |
 [Updated on 16 March 2017] While drivers have responded positively to the proposal to move the bus stop, we have collected many views from the bus passengers that the proposed location is inconvenient, and importantly that it can’t be combined with the 58M stop. 我們就將「落山方向的巴士站向上移，從而提供足夠的路面空間供上山及落山方向的車輛爬越停站的巴士」的建議諮詢居民意見，當中不少駕駛人士表示支持，但是亦有很多乘坐公共交通的居民表示位置不方便以及他們希望能於同一個站等候58M小巴。  We are now liaising with the Bel-Air Owners Committee on the proposal for Government to construct a lay-by. This would involve more cost and time. In case a relocation of the bus stop is required for the works, it would be temporary.
我們正在與貝沙灣業委會溝通，了解他們對改建現有巴士站成為一個具凹位的巴士站的意見。當然，此工程會需要額外公帑及時間，而施工期間有可能需要將巴士站臨時重置。
Government will not install roadside convex mirrors. The Transport Department's stance is (correctly) that these mirrors distort images and make it difficult to judge travelling speed. They do not support the use along public roads. The mirrors you do see are installed 'unofficially' by property owners and managers to improve sightlines.
I took the liberty of installing a mirror at the junction of Bisney Road and Crown Terrace because the visibility is blocked, the travelling speeds are low, there was a pole available and splitting the responsibility between different buildings would be cumbersome. I’m aware that some residents of Upper Baguio want to put one at their junction with Victoria Road. They need to consider that there is no obvious hanging point. 運輸署認為路邊魚眼鏡會令影像變形及難以判斷路面車速，所以官方不會於公共道路上安裝魚眼鏡。而閣下於路面見到的魚眼鏡均為私人屋苑或其管理公司「偷雞地」安裝。 由於駕駛者視線嚴重及附近屋苑眾多（難以協調由誰安裝），我最近於碧荔道及冠冕臺交界安裝了一塊魚眼鏡。此處的車速相對比較低，而路口位亦剛好有一條柱以便安裝。 我明白有眾多上碧瑤居民希望能於域多利道路口安裝魚眼鏡，但是該路口不幸地沒有路牌柱或燈柱。 
Online survey Findings 網上意見調查報告
意見調查日期 Survey period
29/2/2016 - 15/3/2016 135 responses were received. 期間共收到135份回覆。 -------------------- Thank you for completing our survey on Electronic Road Pricing. The Pokfulam community appears evenly split: 45.9% of the respondents supported the scheme whilst 48.2% opposed. We submitted the findings to Government and pointed out that there are significant concerns over the service levels of the bus and minibus services Pokfulam relies without an MTR. As a result residents continue to use private transport and are concerned over the impact electronic road pricing might have. 首先感謝大家早前參與我們的「電子道路收費」網上意見調查。 調查結果顯示薄扶林居民對計劃的支持度與反對度相若：45.9％的受訪者對計劃表示支持，48.2％的受訪者對計劃表示反對。 我們已向政府遞交調查報告，並指出薄扶林區尚未有港鐵服務連接，而區內小巴及巴士服務班次不穩定。居民因此而選擇利用私家車代步，對「電子道路收費」計劃所帶來的影響表示擔憂。 
[17 March 2016]
The government is consulting the public on its proposed pilot scheme for electronic road pricing in Central. (Click here for the public engagement document).
The deadline for comments is 18 March 2016. Do you support the proposal? Object? Any views on the details? You can write to Government directly, or take part in my online survey (link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GX9WDJM). My office will consolidate and report the Pokfulam responses to the government. In the meantime, below please find my personal view as published in Southside magazine – in short I propose there is no charging for the use of Connaught/Gloucester Road Corridor, but for the use of the inner areas only. Let me know your views. 政府正就中環電子道路收費先導計劃進行公眾諮詢。公眾諮詢截止日期為2016年3月18日。 諮詢文件：連結 你支持或反對道路收費計劃？你可直接向政府發表意見，或參與我們的網上意見調查（連結：https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GX9WDJM）。我們會整合意見並向政府反映薄扶林居民的睇法。 我早前於Southside雜誌的專欄發表了我的個人意見。簡單而言，我建議干諾道及告士打道不設收費，收費區應設於中環的內街。 歡迎發表意見。
