聯署支持電車行人專用區 Petition to support DVRC rezoning

現時港鐵港島區西線經已通車,未來數年沙中線及中環灣仔繞道亦會落成,正好提供一個契機設立電車及行人專區。藉著交通路線重組,可以改善中區多年交通擠塞及空氣污染等問題。

創建香港、健康空氣行動、長春社及香港地球之友,向城規會遞交改劃申請。方案提出,在德輔道中中心保留一條通道,讓環保交通工具如巴士和電車行駛。與德輔道中垂直的永和街、祖庇利街、砵甸乍街和畢打街等交通不受影響,讓汽車可以接連皇后大道中和干諾道中。

城規會現正邀請公眾就改劃提交意見,截止日期是2015年10月16日。
請即加入我們的聯署並支持改劃,讓德輔道中成為一個無污染、無擠塞的公共空間!

Where can I sit?

missingseats_juGdO_1200x0_ojOPq_1200x0

If you want people to walk, you got to make sure they can sit. At first glance this appears a contradiction, but walkable cities need many places for people to sit.
People and especially elderly are willing to walk further and forego a vehicular trip if they know there is a place to rest half way. It also makes the city friendlier.

Well placed public seats allow people to relax. It creates opportunities for incidental encounters which are important for community building. It makes the city more accessible for people with disabilities.

So how far are you willing to walk? Ever wondered why there are not more seats around our city in public areas?

Petition to save Hong Kong Park
一人一信反對破壞香港公園

The government plans to spend 750 million dollars to relocate the Harcourt Road fresh water pumping station to Hong Kong Park. The construction will result in the removal of a wooded slope at Hong Kong Park and felling of 118 trees. It would impact 2,150 square meters of park space, and major sections of the 150 year old squared rubble defensive wall at Flagstaff House heritage site.

Please sign the below petition now.

政府建議耗資7.5億元,將夏愨道食水抽水站遷往香港公園範圍內一處斜坡,政府解釋該抽水站用地將改作商業樓宇發展。然而,於香港公園建造新的抽水站,將削去園內部分斜坡範圍,影響香港公園範圍內的一段有150年歷史的古老石牆。計劃亦會令園內受重置工程影響的118棵樹木被砍伐,並將公園空間減少2,150平方米。

The right harbour authority, otherwise we’ll be better off without
要就要對的海濱管理局 否則唔要罷就

 

The Government is consulting the public on the setting up of a Harbourfront Authority but both the digest and response form fail to address key concerns. These include a lack of oversight over the harbour as a whole; the lack of advisory powers over Government departments; a lack of legitimacy in land allocation; bias towards commercial operations; and a loss of the public voice on the Board.
政府正就設立海濱管理局諮詢公眾,然而其諮詢摘要回應表格均忽略了箇中關鍵──譬如欠缺對海港的整全視野;政府部門欠諮詢權力;土地分配欠合法性;對商業操作的偏見;及董事會內無公眾聲音。

Since 2004, Designing Hong Kong has called for an authority to create world class waterfronts. Now the shortcomings need to be resolved before the community and legislators support the proposal.
2004年始,創建香港便一直爭取一個獨立的政府權力架構以創造世界級的海濱。事到如今,當務之急是要趁社會和立法會議員支持計劃前,解決其中的問題。

3rd Runway Concerns
有關機場擴建第三條跑道

Currently Hong Kong has over 80% of the international flights out of the Pearl River Delta. With the 3rd Runway proponents hope to maintain a large share of this growing market. But with only 7% of the population and manufacturing moving ever further land inwards, how sensible is that? The economic gains benefit a few, while the rest of the community pays. It is not just the money: Air pollution, noise, loss of marine habitat, and traffic – lots of it.

現在香港肩負珠角三角洲80%的國際航班,市場不斷擴大,機管局希望藉著擴建來增加利潤。但我們只有7%的人口,而本地工業持續北移,代表著甚麼?我們只有少數人受惠,所有卻為此而負上沉重的代價:空氣污染、噪音、失去海洋生態、交通流量大增……甚至更多
