Shek O lovers’ bridge – Survey Result 石澳情人橋民意調查結果

Original

Thank you those who participated in our online survey!

A public opinion survey was conducted from 18-20 September 2020. More than 70% of the 813 respondents objected to steel railings and preferred a simple concrete bridge. 103 local Shek O residents voted, with 70 objecting to steel railings. Overall, only 21.3% of the respondents supported steel railing designs (option #2 or #3). However, 138 people offered suggestions explaining that they preferred:

1. A design which blends in better with the natural environment by using a granite stone finishing or softening the blue colour;
2. Widen the bridge and approach paths, and add space for safe gathering, photo taking;
3. Enable any water to run off quickly and ensure a non-slippery bridge deck;
4. Soft solar lights/ LED lights to ignite during nights;
5. Improved signage about the bridge could be considered.

Other comments:

• Enable people to put ‘lover locks’
• Heart shape openings in the structure
• Photo spots / observation areas (bridge is too narrow for photo taking)
• Seating, shade and washroom in the vicinity
• LED lighting to make it photogenic at night
• Dim solar lights along the bridge and path
• Railings to assist elderly to walk to and from the bridge
• Graffiti wall
• Signage with information about the history of ‘Shek O lovers’ bridge
• A coin operated telescope

Other proposed options:

• 

  

  

  感謝各位參與網上問卷調查，提供你們寶貴的意見!
  2020年9月18日至20日我們進行了一項民意調查。813名受訪者中有70％以上反對鋼欄杆，並傾向使用簡單的混凝土橋。 103位石澳居民投票，其中70位反對鋼欄杆。總體而言，只有21.3％的受訪者支持鋼欄杆設計（選項2或3）。138人提出寶貴的意見，希望混凝土設計的橋更有地道特色：
  1.使用花崗岩石或柔和藍色系，使設計更融合自然環境；
  2. 擴闊橋樑和出入口路徑，提供空間讓人聚集，和拍照相片；
  3. 設計應確保雨水能迅速流走，橋面亦要防滑；
  4. 選擇柔和的太陽能燈/ LED燈在夜間點亮；
  5. 考慮改善有關情人橋歷史由來的路牌和路標。

  其他建議：

  • 可掛情人鎖
  • 橋身加設心形開口設計
  • 攝影點/遊客觀光區（現時橋身太窄，無法拍照）
  • 情人橋附近增設座位，陰涼處和洗手間
  • LED照明方便夜間拍攝
  • 沿橋樑和路徑增設太陽能燈
  • 增設欄杆，方便老年人步行
  • 塗鴉牆，繪畫藝術
  • 標示有關石澳情人橋歷史的標牌
  • 投幣式望遠鏡
