January 19th, 2012 | Posted by in Harbourfront Cycleway | transport | uncategorised - (0 Comments)On 12 January, HKCAll took the harbourfront cycleway a step closer to reality with a presentation to the Hong Kong Island Task Force of the Harbourfront Commission. We showed how the Island Eastern Corridor boardwalk, proposed by Planning Department’s consultant, would be enhanced by and could accommodate the cycleway.

At the end of the meeting, CEDD undertook to incorporate the cycleway into its upcoming initial design consideration for the two-kilometre boardwalk.
Visionary Transport Infrastructure Study 2030
January 3rd, 2012 | Posted by in cycle tracks | Harbourfront Cycleway | transport | transport - (0 Comments)A new report from the Hong Kong Construction Association, working with the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in Hong Kong, called ‘Visionary Transport Infrastructure Study 2030′, proposes that Hong Kong should become “A City with a Green and Efficient Transport Infrastructure”.
A key element is a policy to promote cycling, along with walking, as transport modes, including:
– proper integrated consideration of cycling in transport planning
– a target modal split for cycling (and one for walking)
– linking districts along the northern shore of Hong Kong Island (this is mentioned under walking but highlights the value of connectivity)
– improved connectivity and management of cycle tracks in new towns
– improved planning, provision and management of cycle parking,
– enhancing education and awareness about cycling
– public cycle hire schemes
