At the start of the school terms we meet with schools and conduct site visits to address traffic issues.
The ISF Academy, at Kong Sin Wan Road near Cyberport 1&2, has over 2000 primary and secondary school students and 500 staff. School bus utilisation is about 50%. Traffic is heavy at nearby junctions between 7:40 and 8am; as well as between 3:10 and 3:40pm. Cyberport tenants and carpark users, bus and minibus passengers and operators, get stuck in school traffic. The afternoon peak normally improves somewhat after 30 August 2021 as extended school activities start. The PE teachers of the school work hard to help manage the traffic as best as they can to minimize the congestion time.
Kennedy School, at Sha Wan Drive, is a primary school with 900 students. About 60% of them use the school buses. The lack of laybys near the school means school buses park along the road. Together with the parent cars, the traffic sometimes comes to a stand-still for a short period as is noticeable in complaints we receive from residents, minibus passengers and operators. The school works hard to minimize congestion using traffic wardens. They also remind parents to be considerate and to queue up from the north as the buses do, so that one lane is kept free as much as possible.
We are urging both schools to take a stronger stance on the use of school buses by their students. Your views are welcome via info@paulzimmerman.hk

新學年初，我們與各學校代表會面，並進行實地考察，以望處理交通問題。
位於數碼港一、二期鋼綫灣道附近的弘立書院﹐有超過二千名中小學生及五百名教職員，現時校巴使用率為約五成。每逄上學日的上午7時40分至8時，及下午3時10分至3時40分，鄰近交通交匯處便出現大量車流，令數碼港的租戶、巴士及小巴乘客受到影響。下午時段的影響一般會在8月30日後，因課外活動展開而逐漸紓緩；校方的體育老師亦有盡力幫忙疏導交通。
位於沙灣徑的堅尼地小學有900名學生，其中六成乘坐校巴。由於校園附近沒有避車處，校巴經常都要停泊在路邊，再加上其他私家車，鄰近道路經常出現短時間嚴重擠塞，令車輛無法通行，更引來居民、小巴乘客及營運商的投訴。為減低交通影響，校方已派出交通督導員，並提醒家長顧及他人，仿傚校巴停泊在北行方向，以確保有一條行車線保持暢通。
我們已敦促校方在乘搭校巴一事採取更進取的立場。歡迎電郵至 info@paulzimmerman.hk 分享你的意見。
