Proposed Pedestrian

Footbridge

System In Mong Kok

We are launching a series of public consultation activities in 2017, including consultation with District Council, focus group meetings, roving exhibitions, distribution of leaflets and community forums. Details of the community forums are as follows:

Date: 10 September 2017 (Sunday) and 16 September 2017 (Saturday)Time: 2:00pm - 4:30pm (Registration will start at 1:30pm)Venue: Mong Kok Kai Fong Association Limited Chan Hing Social Service Centre, 1/F (Hall), 45 Fuk Tsun Street, Tai Kok Tsui, Kowloon

For registration please call 2972 1773 or email to MKFS@hyd.gov.hk

Stage 1 : The section along Argyle Street from Tong Mi Road to Fa Yuen Street, including the landing near Fa Yuen Street; and along Tong Mi Road from Fuk Tsun Street to Argyle Street.Stage 2**: The section along Argyle Street from Fa Yuen Street to Hak Po Street; and the landing near Tung Choi Street.

Construction Arrangement

Temporary Traffic Arrangement During ConstructionTo reduce the impact on traffic and pedestrians during construction of the pedestrian footbridge, temporary rerouting of footpaths and carriageways will be implemented in stages, and the works areas will be confined. Besides, the pedestrian footbridge will be constructed in stages to shorten the duration of the closure of footpaths / carriageways. The proposed mitigation measures include:lTemporary narrowing of existing footpaths (a section of the southern

footpath along Argyle Street between Nathan Road and Sai Yeung Choi Street South, and a section of the northern footpath along Argyle Street between Sai Yeung Choi Street South and Tung Choi Street) for conversion to provisional carriageways

l Temporary adjustment to the timing of traffic lights to optimize the green time utilization for pedestrians and vehicular phases at critical junctions

Stage 2

Stage 1Argyle Street

Mong Kok is a busy commercial and shopping district with heavy vehicular and pedestrian flows. It was mentioned in the 2008-09 Policy Address that the Administration would consider an extension of the footbridge system in Mong Kok to cover Central Mong Kok and the Tai Kok Tsui area to improve the pedestrian environment with a view to minimizing vehicle-pedestrian conflicts. In this regard, a consultancy study was commissioned by the Transport Department in March 2009 to explore the improvement of the pedestrian environment by constructing a new pedestrian footbridge system in the centre of Mong Kok, and preliminarily draw up some conceptual plans for the proposed footbridge system. The consultancy study was completed in 2010. Subsequently, we carried out a technical feasibility study in 2011 based on the proposed conceptual plans and reported the progress of the study to Traffic and Transport Committee of the Yau Tsim Mong District Council in November 2013 jointly with the Transport Department. Since Mong Kok is a highly developed area, the construction of a new footbridge system in the area requires thorough consideration of various factors and constraints, including studies on the transport facilities and developments in the vicinity, locations of footbridge piers, staircases, escalators and lifts, and the impact of footbridges on traffic, pedestrian flow, and underground facilities (including Mong Kok MTR Station). A consultant was also engaged in 2013 to conduct further investigation for the project and a preliminary scheme was established based on the findings of the investigation.
